Need more info about the number of episodes in a book etc
By British Booklover (Pcmac user)
I wish the Radio 4 Extra app would tell me how many episodes there are in a series. I was listening to the eighth episode of The Wide Sargasso Sea, which is started thinking eight episodes would be all of them. Apparently not. But there's nothing to tell me when I can hear the others. I should have checked online where they say 4 out of 5, or whatever it is. Then I know not to start listening until they're all available. Can you do something about this?
Just listened to Billy Liar, which on auto play played episode 5 (the last) before episode 4. Since there's no intro to each episode, I didn't know until I'd already heard the end and episode 4 began. SO ANNOYING!!!

It’s a start
By llr1284 (Pcmac user)
I wish the UK would just get it together and allow us Americans to have a TV license, at least some kind of license for web and app viewing and listening. I would happily pay to get the channels and full apps. This is a good app, and I’m really happy to have it, but I’d pay for the full app if they would let us have it.

China censorship
By William526375 (Pcmac user)
In China, we can install the app itself, while we can not make it play unless we resort to a proxy or a vpn, which is also made difficult for us to acquire by the Government.
I wish this issue would be sorted out in the future, cause it is a good service that you really want to keep.

Needs a favorite/follow feature
By MadCityJim (Pcmac user)
The app works fine. You can set a series to auto play so books will play through all the episodes.
I listen to a variety of shows and I have to remember which shows I listen to and then search for them. The app needs a favorites list(s) so you can save shows into playlists.
It would also be good to have automatic downloads of shows
