Rejected petition Public inquiry into the new BBC Sounds app

The new BBC Sounds app is difficult to use and has reduced accessibility to content for many users. Most notably, the daily schedules are impossible to find. Thousands of users of the abruptly deprecated iPlayer app have lost their playlists and favourites, causing much distress.

The new app scores only 1.5 out of 5 on the Google Play store.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
