BBC: World News & Stories Reviews

Honestly disappointing

The news now is so biased and shows very narrow and I believe quite personal perspectives. Just blatant brainwashing at this point and it’s sad to see this app deteriorate to this point. I guess it’s still a good source to keep up with breaking news.

App is full of bugs and keeps crashing

App keeps crashing when trying to watch a video, and when it works videos do not go horizontal when rotating the phone! Thought this will be a flawless update but was so disappointed

New design

New design make me feel like I’m on a congested website… the old app was simple and very easy to pin point the news you wanted to read… sorry guys not a good redesign

Annoying Pop-ups

Recent update now highlights what BBC wants you to read, which isn’t great, but most annoying (and reason for 1 star) is the constant pop-ups to download apps associated with adverts posted in the app.

Rubbish update

No longer able to configure to see what I want to see. I get news for NI, Wales and Scotland but not England. What stupidity by the latest designer. Bring back my choices.

Propagandists

A completely politicized propaganda media. Against everything journalism should be.

The app does not update

I’m in Vietnam and for 2 - 3 years the app has updated by itself but the last 3 months it doesn’t do that. I’m deleting it and using Sky news that’s regularly updated but not as good. Thanks

Review

Lack of transparency, biased

I Don’t Believe BBC

Due to the lies and misinformation BBC is making I have decided and realized BBC is driven by agenda and far away from telling the truth. What a shame to see an amazing organization end.

New update isn’t good

This is my go-to news app, that I COULD tailor to my location, interests and relevance. Now I have to waste time to scroll and search through “slow news day” articles to find the things that are of importance to me and are significant. Seems I may be looking for a new app.
