I am sadly not exaggerating when I say this is the worse app I have ever downloaded. On iPhones it just asks you to enter the code sent to my email every time I open it, but then never sends code (yes have checked spam!). On Android it has started just saying an error occured loading this content. So now cannot use it at all on either device. We just want to listen to Graham Norton on catch up! 💔

Hi Clare, thanks for your review. It would be great to understand more about the emails you are receiving to log into the Virgin Radio app. Are they password reset emails? Sending MFA codes to email addresses is not currently part of our standard log in process. Please fill out this form with more details - https://forms.gle/m2PvZP4PZAwEPVQd6

Latest update, apart from providing catch up, is less use than the last version. No info on what is playing, and you only get a truncated version of the programme info with no way of accessing the full version. Still plays OK though, you just don't know what's happening. I feel bereft...

Hi Nigel, thanks for your review. The Now Playing/Recently Played feature still exists in the app and can be accessed when you tap on the audio bar at the bottom of the screen when playing live radio. I will pass your feedback about the limited show information on to our team. Thanks.
