Ratings and Reviews
Good content - if you can find it!
Excellent programmes and podcasts available but the search engine is rubbish. Type in the title of something that was just advertised on another show and even if it comes up, it’s buried among loads of other stuff that’s not even related. And once you find something and want to listen to the series from the start, the only way is to pull up all episodes which shows the most recent first, and then scroll and scroll back to the beginning. Then if you listen to a few and go out of that to listen to something else, when you search to find the series again it doesn’t reliably take you back to where you left off, and sometimes shows episodes you listened to as not played! Content is great but the interface is not very intuitive or user focused.
