BBC Music for Android
The BBC really need to sort their apps out because the user experience is just AWFUL. I have a bunch of bbc apps and it seems that one app chases another and you get one login after another before they just crash. TERRIBLE
Isn't always intuitive to follow... Also, side note - the wording for sharing with Spotify talks about Deezer instead.
Export broken so what's the point should be withdrawn until fixed. Who tested this version prior to release? Get your act together BBC!
I'm waiting just to make sure this really good start is how it will continue. So far so good. No issue with Spotify. Sounds great. Spoke too soon... Boo!
I tried repeatedly to get the so to work but each time it stopped. I then rebooted the phone. This time it got a bit further but then it wouldn't play anything. Poetry useless. I have given it one star.
Started out well, though it was hard to find what I was after (what's currently playing on the radio). Once I did, was synching to Spotify well. As of today can't open the app without it immediately crashing.
This app is completely useless. Every time you try to open it up it crashes. Have tried uninstalling and installing with no success. Why can't you just sort it out. How hard can it be. Disappointing
Sadly unable to comment as app crashes on opening despite reinstalling numerous times. This app DOES NOT WORK!
Says it exports your choices to YouTube. Says it has exported them. I go to You Tube - nothing about it and no playlist??? Does it work at all?
Plays first 15 seconds on any playlist in a loop. Moving it further forward does the same thing.
Crashes everytime on opening...have un-installed and reinstall several times with joy. Samsung S7
Great concept but constantly crashes on Samsung S7 Edge running Nougart. Needs fixing fast.
Crashed as soon as i started it. Tried reinstalling, no different. Very poor show for BBC.
I can comment on the app as it won't work
It keeps crashing on my Moto G!
Crashed every time I opened it :(
Spotify export is totally broken.
Poor sound quality.
It's ok, nothing special
Needs Chromecast support
Absolutely rubbish
Couldn't open once, kept crashing
Like most most are saying it has stopped exporting tracks to Spotify, which honestly was the main reason I downloaded it to use along with the BBC radio player. This app is basically an organisation tool of sorts, but now this option for exporting no longer works it's made it redundant for me. Please fix this problem!
After latest update ever time you try and export tracks to Spotify just keeps saying there's a problem try again later
Exporting tracks to spotify is not working. Wouldn't mind it not happening automatically if I could still do it manually - which I now can't. Please fix.
No longer exports to Spotify, have to do it on the website. I thought this update automatically sends tracks.
Didn't work just kept freezing uninstalling it!!!
Cluttered up with unwanted junk. I just want MY playlists not yours
Please link to other services (Google Play Music, Deezer etc etc...)
Would like to have the option to listen to my tracks via Google Play Music.
I have reinstalled this app and look forward to all it has to offer once again in the way of music across the BBC.
This needs to link into other music providers - Google Music for example
Top app. Usually. Just lately tho it won't export my chosen tracks to Spotify. It says it has but it hasn't. Works ok with YouTube. Two stars knocked off for this I'm afraid. It was a main feature for me.
Have used this app for some considerable time, along with their radio player and it is fantastic, however, every now and again there are glitches. I have the Spotify link and the You Tube link, they sometimes don't work and this can last a few days to a couple of weeks. Given I use this each and every day it can be annoying, but can forgive the BBC, as used with Spotify and Sonos it is absolutely brilliant!!
Exactly what you need
No Google Play export. Please, please add this feature or its no good to me or many of my peers. On the other hand, praise be to the BBC - don't let the government anywhere near Radio 6! And get Adam and Joe back on air!
The option for "linked music services" is greyed out. Also needs chromecast support. Surely this isn't difficult given the iPlayer apps have this!?
Fails to open the sign in
Excellent

Not user-friendly. No progress bar when playing clips so cannot control playback, eg. I can't skip back or forwards within a clip?? Only controls are play or pause? So if I want to rewind, I have to exit the clip altogether and play it again from the start! Apart from that, navigating around the app remains a confusing and illogical nightmare.
