Ratings and reviews

This app keeps freezing and/or crashing. It's very hard to get it to stop and start again reliably. I usually have to open app management and force a stop then open it again. I have emailed LBC/the developers about this issue on several occasions without receiving a reply. Presumably my issues are not of interest to them.

Update - everytime they update this app they break it again. Very frustrating. The latest failure is that it starts playing whenever you do something in another app then the lbc app starts playing again. The developers just dont seem to be able to make it work reliably. I love lbc but this app is extremely poorly developed.

Annoying that catch up doesn't work with Chromecast. The weird thing is, it does work the very first time after install. After that, never again (unless I uninstall and reinstall). I know the FAQ says it's not supported but it's clearly possible since it does work that one time.

What’s new

This major update brings you the news, your way. Introducing news topics you can add, remove and re-order, new Video, Opinion and Callers sections and the ability to Search all LBC content.
