Excellent

BBC keep doing what you do You are the best

BBC WORLD NEWS

The old version was great - if this is progress then we have gone downhill

Difficult Access

The new updated APP makes it difficult to access news across a wide range of topics. This updated APP pigeon holes me so I have to keep going in and out of sections instead of having everything laid out in one place allowing me to decide what to delve deeper into. I’m considering finding other news outlets with a more accessible format

Regarding app

I do not like the changes made recently to this app so will no longer use it to get my news

Bring back the oldies

Much prefer the older page

refresh issues

love it, except on iphone 11 latest ios, the app rarely refreshes hourly news audio material properly if the app has been left open, even when you swipe down to force a refresh - super annoying. i have to close and reopen the app TWICE to be sure i'm hearing the latest news

Does not work with iOS 12.5.7. Turns off after 10 seconds. Fix it!!!!

Paid BBC but advertising still in place

Why do advertisements still appear on the subscribed version of BBC apps?

The new BBC news app

The new BBC news app is not user friendly. The main issue is: 1) it seems all the news are audio now, but I prefer to read most of the news; 2) I couldn’t find my old personalized news

Review of new bbc app

Not worth it. You can only listen and not read the news from around the world
