Ratings and reviews

A lot of the presenters are forward thinking:educated at varying levels with good knowledge of current affairs. I dont always agree with everything they say and sometimes consider calling into the station: their is an option to txt via WhatsApp, which is pretty cool too .personally, I think they have gained a little more weight due to their exposure on Instagram . generally a great listen all day if you like current up to date news and topical subjects .

As much as I like LBC, the App is awful! I don't know if it's a service sync issue but even when listening live, it'll randomly skip a few seconds along in the conversation, missing half a sentence or so. It's even worse when listening behind schedule, it can skip as far as 20 seconds or it'll just drop the sounds despite the playback running, it's just a really frustrating experience! the app constantly struggles to buffer as well, despite full reception when other apps have no issues.

Living out here in east Asia, this "radio" app is great for getting news and views from back home in the UK. I appreciate a news app that doesn't keep the screen on and wasting power, like YouTube does unless you pay for it not to. I also appreciate the accessibility options available, i.e. font size options and dark mode for text articles.
