BBC World Service Reviews
Couldn’t be better
Good quality and comprehensive world news, reporting as the events unfold. Couldn’t be better.
Generally great but….
I would give this five star apart from the fact that advertising content (usually temu ads) covers whole screen of iPhone minis - not sure about other phones. This mean you need to exit app and then open again to select program options. The above is more than a little surprising given the excellent standard of content and app features.
