## BBC: World News & Stories Reviews in Australia

### ***-- "Need to tap too often to read the news"
Without the ability to swipe to a new article, you are forced to tap the tiny exit “x” to return to the main page and then repeat the process to read new article.
Swiping through the articles would be far more convenient.
-- jgaudrins, 2024-11-28

### ***-- "Not full screen"
Update to show live player full screen, when landscape. This is a basic feature you can easily update
-- Bill (Melbourne), 2024-11-20

### *---- "They turned a decent app into a terrible one"
I struggle to understand what has happened here. I’ve had the BCC app for years, it was fine, not amazing but did what I wanted from it no worries. 

The new app is so so bad. So clunky. 

You can’t swipe to go back/forward through menus anymore, you have to navigate to the top and click “back”. Why the hell would you remove that feature? 

I hate it so much. I still want to read BBC for the content but mate, please fix this app!! It can’t be that hard.
-- Kfhrgsuskd, 2024-11-12

### *---- "Good and bad news"
The ability to zoom in on photos has been reinstated.  Good news- thank you!  The inability to read news items without the video clip starting, including ads that are often longer than the news clip stays. Bad news.
-- Toe-in-the-water-user, 2024-11-05

### *---- "Not good"
I open the app to watch bbc news and you can’t make it full screen
-- Amazing out standing, 2024-10-07

### *---- "Worst news app"
This news app should be BIBIC not BBC as it is a puppet of Israel .
-- sujju321, 2024-10-07

### *---- "DO NOT UPDATE!"
What was a brilliantly simple and informative app now ruined. Previously the BBC stood out as the one to be relied on to get the basics spot on and put news first. The app just gets worse and worse with every update. 
Was a better app 4 years and 25 updates ago
-- Meneeene, 2024-10-02

### ***-- "No Dark Mode and other missing basics"
BBC is capable of great software products. This is mediocre.
-- jghaines, 2024-10-01
