Comments about BBC World Service Android Version

Lots of audio issues! If you already have it open and are listening and want to listen to the LATEST live news, you have to close the app and relaunch it. Often even doing that won't work. What results is whatever you had been listening to, continues to play OVER the live audio. So then you have to uninstall the app and reinstall it. But again, if you make the mistake of wanting to switch from the old live news to the latest, it'll all happen all over again. I gave up! Now I just read stories!
The recent update seems to have broken this ap. The ap will stream if the screen is on, but a few minutes after my screen goes to sleep the ap stops streaming. Very annoying. If I'm not mistaken this same symptom occurred the last time there was a major update. I've checked all applicable settings on my device and it all appears correct to allow extended streaming. Pixel 6a running Android 14.
Excellent content & very useful On-air SCHEDULE, but I can't understand why there isn't a SEARCH option! I heard about an interesting episode, but missed its podcast name, so unless it's advertised again, I'll miss it. I'd prefer to see many smaller PODCAST ICONS instead of the current few HUGE ICONS, & would really appreciate Podcast descriptions. Transcripts would be great for those of us with hearing issues. Also, BOOKMARKS & the ability to DOWNLOAD for offline listening would be wonderful.
