The reputation of the BBC has always been stellar. It is disappointing to see it’s show of political bias when it comes to US President Trump. Hopefully, BBC will get back on track and give us unbiased coverage of world events.

For some reason, the schedule for the weekend does not appear. Why?

Since the last update, the schedule will not load on iPhone or iPad. News updates and podcasts can still be accessed and still appreciate the service.

After withdrawing BBC Sounds (without so much as giving followers the chance to pay for it) you availed this app with the option of listening to programs at leisure, which is to say well after actual broadcast, through the Schedule feature. As of November 8, 2025, you have disabled Schedule. For the first time in many years my only way of listening to newscasts, for example, is to turn the player on on the hour — or miss them altogether. What a disservice to BBC fans, coinciding, sadly, with the collapse in trust for BBC’s impartiality. I know the two are not related, and yet the general sense of letdown is palpable.

When tapping schedule button nothing appears in windows for yesterday today or tomorrow This has been happening for a few days on apple phone and iPad Also schedule used to update to within 20 minutes so you could listen to 10AM news at 10:15. When schedule did display the hourly news would not have a play symbol for 5 or 7 hours How do I send screenshots?
