Ratings and reviews

awful app. completely ruins the LBC listening experience. can't get through 2 minutes without it cutting out or buffering, even in an excellent signal area and on WiFi. I'm close to deleting the app and listening to a rival, the app is so so bad. the other option is to wait for a show to finish and listen on catch up but it can take hours sometimes for it to be available on there. it only gets 1 star because giving it less isn't an option.

I've been using this app for years & this should've been a 5 but I'm giving it 3. Over the last few days it's changed behaviour so now when minimised within 10 seconds it mutes. It doesn't pause, it keeps playing so by the time I bring it to the foreground I've missed stuff. Not acceptable.

Constant drop outs. I enjoy listening to LBC and it's a great station but for some reason, this app constantly pauses and drops out, doing so every minute or two. I can only assume it's the app as everything else (youtube videos etc.) don't have any problems and I'm listening in my home.
