Disorganized mess
Dennis the good
I liked the older app far better ...now it’s just a disorganized mess.
Best media outlet

I get all my news from CBC. They always have fresh, engaging, relevant and progressive-friendly content without annoying ads. The only quirk is I'm guessing unique to Alaska, which is an extra hour behind Yukon in the winter. Album art and captions are now out of sync with the radio audio by an hour. I'm not sure why and it would be nice to fix it but I guess it fixes itself in March again. Edit: looks like they fixed the glitch. Thank you. Now it's flawless.
Works well but requires location

If you refuse to give this app access to your location data, it will count you as “international” and restrict some content. This reeks of the CRTC and their meddling, a familiar story. The live streams seem to still work, and you can select which region to listen to eg. Atlantic or Eastern. Quality seems stable and sounds very good to my ears.
Last update not great

The latest update wiped out all the saved content and favourites. It took me a while to find anything besides the marquee shows (I finally found the World Report after 30 min of searching) The new version is pretty, but not user friendly
Updated and lost all my saved content!

I really liked the old layout because you could vertically scroll through the old random radio clips, but this one is just like the desktop PC version which I suppose is fine. The bigger problem is I lost all my saved and starred items to listen to in the future, it’ll be hard to go back and find what I wanted to listen to.
CBC Listen Garbage

CBC Radio had a great app until the newest upgrade. CBC Listen is a downgrade. You used to be able to filter episodes by topic. Maybe you still can but I can’t find how. I liked listening to shows about science. No idea how that is accomplished in the new app. The new app is clunky and confusing. I wish I could give it less that one star! Hopefully, whoever designed this new look gets shown the door. What a pack of losers.

The CBC broke their app. Please give us the old app back!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would CBC delete functionalities from their app? I do not get it. I see nothing is this new version that is better than the last version.
Zero stars - terrible!

They wrecked something that worked just fine before. Now I can’t even listen to simple items like “World Report” in the morning. If you have not yet updated to this version - don’t! I now only listen to CBC using the older version on a different device. Leave good things alone! Or at least make them better and possible to use.
Am I missing something?

I listened all the time to the terrific playlists, like classic soul, jazz, classical groupings; where did they go?
