You should still be able to access the BBC Sounds website at www.bbc.co.uk/sounds.
Hint: You can add a shortcut to the BBC Sounds website from the home screen of your mobile or tablet device. Follow these links to the wikiHow website for instructions on Android and iOS (Apple):

To install the BBC Sounds app you’ll need a device which is capable of running iOS 11, Android 5 or Amazon OS 5 (or above). It’s standard practice for updated apps to no longer support older operating systems. This is the case for iPlayer as well as iPlayer Radio, and apps by other companies and organisations. Supporting operating systems older than this is very costly and does not represent good value for money for licence fee payers, given the relatively small number of users we have still using those older operating systems.
