BBC: World News & Stories

There is no support for gestures to navigate, so to go back from an article to the previous page requires you to reach up and tap the back icon in the top left corner. Please support swiping from the left side of the screen, it would be so much easier to navigate that way. Using the website is much easier and really the App should be a better experience.

Previous app worked well, was easy to use , just did the job. This one is awful : it gets stuck, starts videos you don’t want to see again and again , favorites are gone ecc. How can it be improved? Easy, revert to the old one !

Clicking on video clips closes the app. Can't double tap photos to zoom in, photos don’t rotate to a landscape orientation when you rotate the phone, can’t swipe through multiple photos in an article and way tooooooo many adverts. This is a real step down. I like the scroll bar at the top.

Not sure who approved the recent redesign. The new layout makes no sense, the "browser" interface takes up too much space, especially when watching live videos. The previous app was solid, this one is wonky and feels fiddly.

I agree with other negative reviews - this is now less engaging to use for news. Why can’t I swipe back and not have to click the top left back option. Why can’t I click into an article with a video without auto playing the video. Why can’t I select the topic areas I’m interested to see rather than have to scroll through topics I’m not interested in

You lost 2 stars for requesting account creation, not once, but every time I launch the app. In the beginning (likely due to a bug), it was even twice. Stop this please...

Asks to create an account and login Harder to identify interesting articles Ads everywhere hard to separate from text Fewer relevant non-ad-related images Swiping to go back no longer works I’ll just use another news service

Worst update ever. Did the developer use it? It’s awful. Unmanageable. Unergonomic. A chaos of stuff. I switch to another provider of news now.

Ruined the news app. Clunky scrolling, can’t zoom pics, can’t select text. Rubbish

On iPhone the old version was much easier to use and worked to some extent offline, the new version isn't as usable.
