BBC: World News & Stories

The recent change in user interface design is frustratingly restrictive. Finding news via certain topics is now annoying and tech news seems to omitted entirely. Definitely switching to the Guardian news application.

Probably the best international news platform with daily newsfeeds from around the world.

In order to update the displayed stories I have to close and re-open the application. Pulling down to refresh does nothing. Otherwise a fine app

This app has become stale. Have deleted and moved on to yahoo news!

BBC has lost its way and caved to advertising. App is now terrible, and triggers adverts to play when simply trying to scroll. Time for new management at the top of the organisation.

The BBC app’s gradual decay and degradation in functionality has been accompanied by a deep deterioration in the quality of its news content. Blunt propaganda of a dying empire has replaced what used to be a respectable, balanced news outlet. The BBC is today no different to CNN or Fox News, crassly showing its true colors and its now characteristic British warmongering agenda.

In todays world it’s not acceptable that a News App does not permit you to select text or word to have it spoken by the device or having the meaning checked using the dictionary. That is just simply unacceptable. Further, they are not honest. I say this because I red the full interview with Pep Guardula (Man City manager) and the the article was cutting interesting pieces away which generated a certain impression of the interview. It’s difficult to trust media organizations.

If I can not use LOOK UP in this app, there is no need for me to use this app, although I am not a low level English speaker, I still need to look up a lot of words when I read

This app shows adverts. Additionally, you can’t select text (to look up a word in the dictionary).

Last year, bbc “upgraded “ the app. This made it impossible to select text to find definitions of words or to look items up via Wikipedia or web searches. Submitted a problem report but never heard response. This app is useless for folks who want to look deeper into items in a news article
