BBC: World News & Stories Reviews

Loss of usability

Guidsterino on

Italy

The new version has lost a very important feature: swipe to the right to move back to the home page from an article. Very annoying that you now need two hands. In addition, pictures have a very low definition and you can’t open and zoom them anymore. Lastly, with this version you can’t select a word that you need to look up. You could before.

New update is terrible

Argie2122 on

Italy

The app was fine, then they updated it and it is just terrible

No more dictionary function

Hhahhhhhahah on

Italy

With the previous functions, we can click on any vocab on any articles and hold it for a second show that I can choose “look up” or “translate” to translate any difficult vocab for us, without the need of leaving the app. Now with new version, this function is no longer available.

Just a web app without radio

EmsiDave on

Italy

They downgraded the app. Now it’s just a web app and the live radio is not there anymore. The colour black also look horrible.

New version is bad

charlescool on

Italy

The new version is bad, can’t zoom, can swipe to go back and other negative stuff.

Why is there no search bar?

MattiaPasqualini on

Italy

Being Italian, I’ve been utilising this app for years in order to see what was reported about my country and what Italian news reached an international coverage. With this new update I can’t look for topics or news through a search bar. What kind of service is this?

Nov 23 update does not work

ladrino on

Italy

It doesn’t update news!

Misinformation

Sagi Ponyo on

Italy

Misinformation and wrong subs. Shameful.

Restore compatibility with older devices

azezza on

Italy

I have an old but perfectly functioning ipad2 mini. As for some other apps, I am not allowed anymore to use this up unless I update to a version that is not supported. Don’t sell yourself to Apple’s anti-customer policies. You large app developers have the power to say no. I love the app, but won’t be forced to buy another device I don’t need.

Updated but poorer

Italian Red on

Italy

The new updated version is no match for the previous version. No personalization possible and not as user friendly.
