BBC: World News & Stories Reviews
Dictionary function
I hope the app would allow users to highlight and look up words / phrases in the articles. Thank you.
An update for worse not improvement
An update of the app is meant to improve the user experience not worsening to the point that readers all commented to deleting the app entirely! Change it back or else there will be more users deleting the app entirely.
Updated version of the App
The screen translation function is not available in the updated App, it’s not user-friendly for readers who are not native speakers, could you pls help fix it? Thanks!
Rubbish update
Won't let you go back by swiping the screen to the right. You need to press the back icon on top left. Annoying if you have a bigger phone 😠
Unable to highlight
Please revive the highlighting function, I used to be able to highlighted the words or paragraphs that I’m reading. Thank you so much.
Bring My News Back Please
Why do your app updates always remove features that are so convenient for users like My News? Now I can’t personalise the main page and have to scroll down and up to find specific topics
You can’t swipe to a previous page??
Seriously. Who designed the UI? The most basic thing about an iPhone is the ability to swipe and this app is literally the only reading app I have where I need to remember to look up and hit the back button
Can’t look up definition of words
I recently updated to the new version. It looks great but now I can’t long-press a word i don’t know and use iPhone function “look up” to learn the meaning of it. This causes a big trouble for me as a non-native user. I want to use it to learn English and this update truly discourage me.
Cannot select text and translate
I can select text to do translation before and I cannot do it after the apps upgrade, anyone can help?
