  • New app isn’t user friendly

    The new app is not as functional as it used to be. Maneuvering the App is difficult, and counter intuitive
  • Horrendously Bad - Pick a different News App

    Just when you thought the BBC News app “upgrades” couldn’t get any worse The Beeb proves everyone wrong again. Last years update took a great, useful, well implemented app and broke it, and made it less useful. This release, April ‘24, is honestly much much worse. Looks like a webapp, with all the accompanying adverts that come with it. Navigation is terrible, layout is terrible, being prompted every time you launch the app to sign in or create an account. The BBC seem determined to kill off this app. I’m looking for something new. It’s a shame, the news source I trust, has become unusable.
  • Hooray for the update

    With this update the news has gone back to being organized in a logical way. THANK YOU for listening. I had stopped using the app for anything other than breaking news but now I can access proper news again. Thank you BBC
  • New app update is awful!

    Everything was set up easy to use now it is a jumbled mess & why go from red to black. I have nothing against black. Yet it doesnt stand out on your phone. So odd. Not sure who in the IT dept made these changes but it is now a mess
  • Poor BBC App Upgrade

    The BBC app used to be my favorite until they upgraded the look and eliminated the customization. Now they decide what you read and efficacy of getting news is low as you have to scroll through nonsense to read something of interest, similar to a social media app. I deleted the app and read on a browser instead and/or other news sources.

    Really, I have to scroll all the way to the top of the article—notably giving all the adverts a second “look”—to get to the back button? Shameful and transparent money grab that makes the app terrifically WORSE.
  • Bring back the old BBC App!!

    Oh dear! Why spoil a good thing? Used to be 1st with breaking news!! Was my go to app to find out what was happening in the US, where I live but back home too in the UK & surrounds. Such a disappointment, honestly. What was the purpose?? Also, changing it to black 😑. Hardly use it now.

    Needs constant updating- which does not happen. Must be narcolepsy?
  • Horrid ‘Updated’ Interface

    While I’m sure the content will have the same breadth l really am not keen on the new look. I liked the red! Distinctive.
