Whenever I turn on bluetooth this app automatically starts playing without my saying so. This is really annoying. All other apps keep quiet until I want them to. That should be the default behavior.

Respect the user privacy and integrity, it should be an option to give the app access to save in-app browsing history and listening behaviour. A splash screen "we just let you know...." With no option to disagreement, is not a way to do it, otherwise great UI very responsive and tons of stuff worth listening to.

No longer possible to play all latest news? Playlist starts but each episode has to be manually started - rather awkward since they last approx 25 sec to just over a min. Overall the interface makes you klick or tap through long chains to possibly end where intended. Most programs lack specific description. Finding a certain episode may take hours. External player is better in next to every aspect and you get rid of church service. Curiously, SR keeps promoting this lacking creation.

Like the app alot but it stops working after 1-2 min and I have to open my phone and restart the Channel. Very irritating. Also the whole news segment no longer plays in its entirety. I need to start each segment separately. Very irritating

Have loved for years, suddenly buggy, Pressing play results in an item flashing up momentarily but it disappears and won't play, which was fixed, but now the app has no program descriptions and summaries, for example Kropp & Själ, I can't search the app or program any more to find topics.

The app itself doesn't work well technically. Often if you click on a notification, it will play whatever the previously playerd audio file was instead of what you clicked, or it will give the message that the broadcast doesn't exist. The broadcasts themselves are mainly consisting of loxism, judeo-marxism and blatant lies.

The android version for mobile works great. As I haven't been able to find where to report bugs in the Android TV version here it is: Version 1.0.16 does have a very irritating bug. When playing it uses my local time for program information instead of Swedish time. Which means (in my case) that the afternoon show is showing as: "Förmiddag i P4". Another concequence is that the music played is wrongly marked. Any chance that could be corrected?

Alarm clock function is completely unusable. Whenever playing the radio is stopped an alarm sound starts playing which cannot be stopped. Closing the app does not prevent the sound. The only solution for stopping the alarm sound is restarting my phone (android) Update: Löste problemet, tack. Höjer min rating med 1 stjärna, men inte mer för det där borde konfigureras automatiskt, eller med en varnings dialog, när man sätter på alarmet

2023-06-13: once again did they screw up car controls and rewinds the full program and not 15 sec. (volvo) Update 2020.10.08. They fixed the back and forward for external devices. From 1 star to 4. Update 2020.03.02. They really don't care. 2020.02.12. Someone is playing around whit stuff they don't understand on the dev side. Using external device to go back in then app, now goes back the full program and not 15 sec, and forward don't work at all. Some beta testing should be mandatory...

Usually a good app. When listening to P2 I'm frustrated that viewing the info on music played is sometimes not available with no obvious explanation, as well as the programs Playlist is very complicated to access. Demanding that you click through about 4 levels to access it in the browser. Feels very awkward and strange. Should be in the description of the active program?
