BBC World Service Reviews

Where is World Service?

mawhyte on

Denmark

I live in Denmark and have listened World Service regularly since the 1070's, first on radio and, for the last decades, in the internet. But now the service is unavailable, replaced by a service that just repeats itself. What happened? Why? Michael Whyte

Won’t work with iOS12

App require only iOS11, and I have iOS12 on my phone, but it still crashes like 4 out of four times.

The Real News

Denmark

The BBC is the news channel I always turn to for up-to date information. I feel ill informed if I haven’t seen the news. Derrick Beck

The size which all other media was supposed to be measured by

Rikard S. on

Denmark

Even though today’s BBC World Service is hardly the shadow of the incomparable and extraordinary international institution it ones was, it is still a important, reliable and trustworthy source of information. Useless to say, I do wonder what happened to all that colourful broadness, creatively, and splendour that it used to represent? No matter of how well-meaning it might be, the campaign-like political correctness that the channel are exercising today can by no means compensate for the richness that has been abandoned. /Rikard Silwärn Frederiksberg, Danmark

Cannot connect to Airplay speakers

abbacab on

Denmark

A basic functionality in this day and age. Response from developers is ‘we don’t have that kind of speaker so we can’t fix it’. This is a huge corporation that serves millions of customers, and it cannot buy an airplay speaker to develop compatibility???

BBC has lost much of its former credibility

Chris1130 on

Denmark

It makes absolute no sense constantly asking people either no formal education about their f e e i n g s,and their p e r s o n a l experiences. Once - long time ago - you had a chance to l e a r n something, listening to BBC. Thet's - unfortunately - no longer the case.

Much has changed

Bjldi217 on

Denmark

Once the most respected news organisation in the world but now selective towards political correctness and no longer editorial neutral.

Biased broad casting

Finnimik on

Denmark

Shame that bbc is harbouring antifa propaganda

Where’s the Text version?

Prm99 on

United States

Looks like video version is forced on to user. I can’t watch video (with Audio) at my work setting or outside settings where silence is preferred. In new version, where’s the Text Version (which we could read) as earlier
