CBC Listen 4+

I accidentally updated the CBC app on my iPad and now I can’t figure out how to send audio to my AirPlay devices. In the old app (pre October) it was right there with the playback controls. Is it missing? Is it moved? Unhappy.

Update: CBC developers responded, it’s on the bottom of the full screen player. My experience is that sometimes the full screen player doesn’t scroll in landscape orientation on iPad and you can’t see the AirPlay option, but it’s always visible in portrait mode. Glad to have this working again, if sometimes just with a workaround, happy again.

Hello and thanks for your feedback. The Airplay feature is available in the app's full screen player. When you select a piece of audio content, tap the mini-player at the bottom of the app (above the menu navigation). This will open up a full screen player. If you scroll down a little, the Airplay icon should be just below the fold. Tap that and select the receiver you'd like to send audio to.

Hope that helps! Let us know if this works (or doesn't?). We hope you give us another chance.

Overall the design of the app is pretty good, and is relatively easy to find the shows you’re looking for. The downside though are the bugs that have persisted for years now without being addressed, despite how many times they are informed of them. The one that drives me nuts the most is how podcasts ignore the continuous playback option, so they will always play one to the next to the next forever. So if you cant reach your phone right away when the episode finishes, it will just load the next one regardless of whether you already heard it, and if like I do you tend to stop when theres a few seconds left, it will rapidly play the final seconds of dozens and dozens of episodes without stopping. Really dumb and annoying.

Thank you for your feedback. We value every bug report and improvement suggestions. Your suggestion will be passed on to the respective team for investigation and resolution.

If you refuse to give this app access to your location data, it will count you as “international” and restrict some content. This reeks of the CRTC and their meddling, a familiar story. The live streams seem to still work, and you can select which region to listen to eg. Atlantic or Eastern. Quality seems stable and sounds very good to my ears.

We would like to assure you that we don't carry or hold granular location data. We receive city-level location data to deliver radio streams and recently aired shows in your area. We also have country-specific, rights restrictions on some content. If you would like to learn more, please visit: Personal Information and Privacy Act. Thank you for the detailed feedback. We're happy to hear that the quality of the streams is to your liking!
