## BBC: World News & Stories Reviews in India

### *---- "Full of Glitches"
Used to be an intuitive and easy to use application. Now full of glitches. 

UI non-intuitive. Control flow is confusing.
What’s the use of back and close. Both does the same.
Hyperlink on article, goes to browser and redirects to application. 
Menu bar flows over the content with transparent spacing.

Hope the development and product management team does not mess up the BBC Sports application.

Get your priorities straight!
-- Gokul Nath KP, 2024-05-07

### *---- "I dont trust British News..🤓"
Bring some solution driven news…
-- GautamN9, 2024-05-02

### *---- "Very Big Problem"
After update in to black icon then lost the radio or live option for listening. It made me awful and disappointed
-- Gelek Wangchuk, 2024-03-30

### *---- "Why Change the color?"
Years and years had gone by watching BBC on TV and then on Internet and then through the app. The ref color associated with BBC was a pleasant one. I fail to understand what was the need for changing it? White black and white May give a more serious look, why lose the vibrancy of red??

(My first reaction on just upgrading to new BBC app. )
-- Vivjo27, 2024-03-30

### **--- "Not able to select my topics"
Before the last update I was able to select and browse through topics that were dear to me. But now that option is gone, in the Topics section, the topics are preset and unchangeable. Please fix the issue. Bring back My Topics!!

Latest update: I’m really sorry but I’m deleting the app. Please let me know when you bring back “My News” section.
-- Robi kudukk, 2024-02-13

### ****- "Not a reader friendly"
Text size is too small on iPhone, learn from CNN, they are much readable, big size news texts. 

Please consider in the next upgrade, then I will give 5 star.
-- AnthropAtashi, 2024-02-12

### *---- "Bias British C"
A day doesn’t go by if the bbc would not do anything and everything in their power to put down others under the shoes of their white man superiority. A racist drivel undermines their news coverage where in the hate for India advancing British Raj and the pagan Hindu community still extinguished.
-- Lord.Lannister, 2024-01-22

### *---- "Biased reporting!"
Stupid app! I am removing this app!
-- Sameer Mutalik, 2024-01-22

### *---- "Bring back old viewing options"
The new interface does not allow you select your topics and prioritise it. Old interface used make you stay in the app read about more news of the same topic. New dose not make you stay in the app
-- Logically19978, 2024-01-20

### *---- "State-owned propaganda-based media outlet"
Highly biased and manipulative reporting.
-- A Learner!, 2024-01-07

### ****- "Upgrade and lose viewers!!!!!"
Ever since you have upgraded , am unable to open the app on my iPad Air with the software version 12.5.7. Apple doesn’t upgrade software of IPads like they do frequently for iphones. Perhaps their Sales strategy “They would like that newer IPads be bought.” 
Be that as it may,request you arrange that we,with our iPads are able to view your excellent News service.
-- yazdimalu, 2023-12-29

### *---- "Propaganda news agency."
This is for Palestine. Deleting app.
-- dawarbhatt, 2023-11-15

### **--- "Auto-plays ad with sound"
Update 12 Nov 23

It was working fine. Looked good and easy to navigate. He problems mentioned below were gone

Now it requires lot more scrolling and clicks to read. Please bring back older format. 

——-

Been using it for years. Now there are more full screen pop ads, can be tolerated that they want to make money. But the current version auto-plays full screen ads with sound! All of a sudden your phone broadcasting loud musical ads is a strong no-no in most environments. If you must have ads, make them silent. Else one cannot risk using this app in most surroundings. ————- Took off one more star. For heavens sake remove full screen video pop up ads.
-- --XN, 2023-11-12

### **--- "Not Satisfied with the updated version"
Guys, I loved your app. I used to spend so much time on it. 

But with the latest version, the personalised section has vanished.

Also, there is no functionality to search for a specific topic like mental health or something else. 

Please, at least implement a search feature in the latest version otherwise I will have to shift to using the website for the same. 

Thanks.
-- Gautam6678:, 2023-11-06

### *---- "Biased propaganda news"
This biased propaganda news app strongly favors one side of the political spectrum, providing a limited and unbalanced perspective on current events. Its clear agenda may cater to certain beliefs but lacks objectivity and fairness, making it important to seek diverse sources for a more well-rounded view of the news.
-- KingJman, 2023-10-23

### *---- "Biased News"
Charged with tax frauds, BBC has become a biased news channel…..the authentication and fair news tag is long gone…being pro-separatist and anti-establishment does not mean fair journalism or give BBC high ground.
-- Rajkumar79, 2023-09-06

### **--- "Ad Nuisance"
For watching a 4 second clip, I am forced to watch a 15 sec ad. And on unrelated matter, biased news writing
-- ooaorka, 2023-05-25

### *---- "King Queen news"
Please stop sending notifications about King Queen news. Nobody give a damn about it.
-- NikkiNani, 2023-05-07

### ***** "You dudes are awesome fun.."
You people are are so much fun.. so when I say BBC is a joke please don’t take it otherwise.. do take it as a compliment.. cause you are way more entertaining than the likes of the Bean show.. I really loved the piece that you covered about the Russian army resorting to fight with shovels & stuff.. that was truly masterclass 👍 You dguys are taking propaganda to a whole new level.. 🥂 Please 🙏 do keep up the good work.. Being a country’s 🇬🇧 propaganda mouthpiece 📣 is not a such a bad thing..
-- antitheism, 2023-04-21

### **--- "Contain lots of ads"
This app contain lot of commercials so laggy to use need lots of updates.

One more thing there is no region choosing option for example I live in india as a citizen I need to know what happening around me but unfortunately it pushing global news which is also helpful but slightly unnecessary.

So hope that developers will sort this issue as soon as possible. 🙏🏻
