Is BBC World Service legit?
🤔 The BBC World Service app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Dear BBC, Thanks for the extensive coverage and bravery of your reporters! Just a note about the people they are interviewing: real names should be avoided. Informers could list them and later they risk reprisals. Anything is possible, be more careful. A prayer for Ukraine, may this massacre end quickly and may Ukraine survive and resume its democratic life. GP

Professionnel précis fiable merci
Alarm clock

Time is set.
Alarm is on
Saved too.

Lousy
I cannot hear the BBC World Service on my iPad
Not so good
Confusing, not straight and clear. Too many videos and above all too many stupid ads. Hardly worth the trouble.
boring
BBC is not interesting any more, has become boring and out-of-date. The app is not modern. Information is presented badly. It is a pity.
BBC is just fantastic!
BBC is just fantastic! Thanks for this great podcasts, I’m listening to them every day in Switzerland.
le + et le -
Le plus : bbc world a une sacré réputation qui remonte très loin - quand il était le seul moyen d’avoir de l’information fiable en Europe occupé.
Aujourd’hui avec la « poutinisation » rampante de l’information je retourne à cette source.
Le moins : la publicité invasive alors que la Grande Bretagne n’est pas un pays en défaut de paiement.
Too much can be dangerous
Dear BBC,
Thanks for the extensive coverage and bravery of your reporters!

A prayer for Ukraine, may this massacre end quickly and may Ukraine survive and resume its democratic life.
