CBC Listen Customer Insights

1. After listening to love radio, you press stop and move on to listen to something else on a different app, only to have CBC live radio take over audio again a few seconds later.

2. 2) when playing certain radio programs (ex Marvin's room and front burner) I am either not able to play the episode at all with an error.

3. When I want to listen to Ontario Today (for example) it will not show all of the latest episodes.

4. Sorry, but is the intention to drive people away from CBC?In the last week, the app won't show what is playing or what is coming up.

5. Or I can play the shows but the playback bar won't let me fast forward the programs it just plays back to where I've already been listening.

6. When I search for a show (e.g. C'est Formidable!), the show information page ought to tell me when it us broadcast.

7. It will show episodes from December or early March when a new episode came out yesterday.

8. There has been no improvement.*Edit* I left this app uninstalled for several weeks, recently reinstalled and my ranking must remain a single star.

9. 3 things: 1) When playing live radio the stream will occasionally stop.

10. This is very annoying as I like to plan out my listening day depending on when shows are playing at different times.

11. The "full" page for each show doesn't load.
