It’s keeping me updated with everything now since I have no TV.😘

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

If the goal of this new “vintage” app was to take the BBC back to the early 2000’s, they nailed it. They had the virtue and the “talent” to roll back every enhancement made over the last 15 years and end up with a mediocre app that can now be filled up with an increasingly obvious level of anti-China, anti-Russia, warmonger colonialist propaganda. Great job BBC! 🎯

Eclectic,, balanced, informative, world-widely comprehensive & objective !

The new changes of the BNC News app continues to annoy users like me. In addition to lacking My Topics section, the articles with video automatically play video with Ad as soon as I click open the articles,before even I read the description about the video to decide whether to listen/watch the video with NO pallPAUSE BUTTON available. Therefore I end up hurriedly closing the article before I even know what it is about. EXTREMELY ANNOYING and you are losing an opportunity to have someone like me to decide to endure the Ad and watch the video. Poor choice of changes. I am sure someone thought it would be an automated way to have captive audience. In reality you are losing potential audience due to this annoying feature. Dumb.
