Review
Don’t know if this is for the app or the world service. The app is great. I use it for live news, reports, documentaries and the 5min news summary and the sleep timer. World service also great. All sports should be shifted to an own section in the app though. BBC loses me to other podcasts as soon as I hear sports.
In fact, the only true international broadcasting organ. Keep it alive
Sachlich, kompetent, nie aufgeregt, ohne Panikmache, halt BBC, the best of GB Best international broadcast, try everything to not cut costs, it‘s worth
I love the BBC but…
… the Google advertisements, which are displayed continuously at the bottom of the screen within the app are annoying. I would be willing to pay to get rid of it.
BBC Eine Klasse für sich

A few more features would be wonderful, such as streaming, Chromecast or subtitles. Thanks.
No Landscape on iPad? This is not World Service.
