Ratings and Reviews
The station makes you a citizen of the world
Living in regional Australia radio options aren’t excellent; the world service provides insightful documentaries and comprehensive news updates from around the world; Listening to the world service genuinely makes one feel like a citizen of the world regardless of where you live, we are all connected as society thanks to the world service.
Newshour
I have no problem with the content, which I rely on a lot. HOWEVER, this app would be better without the intrusive advertising, especially the ads that pop up during a pause and don’t allow you to return to or resume your program. It’s beyond frustrating and annoying.
App that does what it needs to do
The app works very well and allows you to listen live. The snooze function is very much appreciated.
One idea for future updates:
- start playing option when open, that plays the radio live not a previous news bulletin.
