Accessibility Comments

This app is very accessible. I really enjoy how you can just flick through radio stations with either an up or down flick on the radio picker.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

I'm not a fan of the heading that hsows what you're listening to, if you listen to something even without subscribing it will still show up there,, but apart from that this is a great app!

Hi! I live in France, and I use BBC Sounds a lot, for live and on-demand listening as well as for podcasts from the BBC. Occasionally I'll find something which is only available in the UK, and the app alerts me to that, but that's pretty rare, I can listen to almost eanything I want on the BBC Sounds app. That's why I'm so glad it's available in other countries, we don't have to live in the UK to enjoy plenty of audio from the BBC.
