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.

Rubbish - clear bug with app for last few months... Which they haven't fixed. LBC please sort this out as it is running the experience. When you use another app and then move back to LBC app it doesn't allow play to resume. Instead you have to close LBC app and open again before it will play!! I've uninstalled and installed again but still doesn't work properly. V diapering this bug has not been sorted and fixed yet. I have a Sony Xperia 1iv running on android.

I must praise the app for helping me reconnect with nature and birdsong. Due to LBC's rising popularity they've upped the amount of adverts and ruined it. I had to install another app to mute them and often forget to unmute later. You can't even hear the weather forecast without them intruding. I rebelliously boycott any company forcing their ads down my throat at the frequency they're 'served' on LBC. I've also switched back to the Beeb's R4. I'd forgotten how many great programmes they offer.
