BBC: World News & Stories

Agree with many reviewers that the new app's UI design is worse than the old version. I miss the ability to set up my own topics. The new version has just made me read BBC news way less than before. The new app also lacks the ability to go back by swiping right from the left edge, you need to press the top Back button. The Home button should bring you to the top of an article on first click. It feels like the app wraps web content inside a container app, making interaction a bit clunky.

The BBC News app lacks support for the iPhone’s integrated dictionary feature, making it difficult to look up word definitions. Additionally, the copy-paste functionality doesn’t work. Please address these issues in future updates to improve the user experience. Thank you!

The latest version of the app has really made it much worse. It used to have a pleasant, clear, and easy to use user interface. The new UI is chaotic with different style of articles mixed together, and only few with images. It also crashes often now. Even simple things like selecting a word to look up its definition don’t work anymore. Please bring back the old app.

Every time you need to choose sign in or skip. Most categories open in a new window and hard to navigate around .

Really bad update! After I updated for the new version in March, I can no longer mark text to look up words. This is utterly useless and frustrating as a non-native English speaker or just as a generally curious person. Also, why the bloody hell would I want to sign in just to read the news? What’s going on with the BBC??

Good content in the app, but why no button to take me back to the top of the first page? Doesn’t every news app have this? Very frustrating to have to scroll all the way to the top again.

Is the constant nagging about cookies really necessary? I avoid using the BBC app because of the never-ending cookie prompts.

I know it probably cost more but the ability to customise what I see in this app was its most useful feature. And it has become so much less visually clear now - including the fact that it’s locked in portrait mode, which makes it hard to see the pictures properly.

BBC is still a first class news organization. This app, howver, has gradually declined in usability and possibility to tailor. Some years ago, there was brilliant app which you could tailor to your interests. Then is became just a mess of random news. Now it is just a mess, where you seldom get to any news at unless you click yourself through a marathon of cookie questions and account creation pages.

Change it back please. The new app is no longer readable - can’t find anything and literally found myself saying that I hate it. Please return it to its former glory
