BBC: World News & Stories Reviews
New update made the app a lot worse
Please bring back old features and layout. This is hard to see- main news are hidden and everything is just personalized. If I want Facebook I can go on that. You can’t click on text anymore and look up words or copy and paste text
Fake news

hi
:))) chào cho tạo tài khoản đi không tôi đi kể cho thế giới nghe á
New ‘update’ ? So sad…
I hate the new version of this app! The overall design is ugly and it no longer lets me search the meanings of the words RIGHT ON THE APP. The old version would allow me to choose words in an article and look it up thru google translate… Please bring this feature back. I’m begging you 😭
Bad
Errors when loading
Good app, very useful
Great thanks to BBC for the app. Very good
Love it love it love it
Free and accessible news. Thank you so much for providing such an incredible app. Ever since i started using BBC News app, i just could use any other apps for online news. The thing i love most about BBC is the layout and dark mode, which is not available on many apps of the kind. Great job 👏👏👏

The bbc news application does not have a video, it is not in the process of downloading for a long time, requiring the publisher of the phone application to improve this function. thank you.
