  • The ideal news app

    By IsMayonaisseAnInstrument
    This app is absolutely wonderful. I originally would use a news article aggregator but got tired of having so many repeat notifications of the same news. I set out on a quest to find an alternative; being an American, I checked the New York Times (4 articles a month? Come on!) and USA Today (ads are too intrusive) before being recommended the BBC app. I downloaded it and it works fantastically - ads are minimal, I can read all I want, and (this is a plus for sure) it's unbiased! I would absolutely recommend downloading the BBC app because it is an excellent product.
  • My Favorite News Source

    Huge array of what is happening in the world. US news is too Trump heavy! I feel like I can connect to the real world with BBC News, in seconds. The App itself has worked flawlessly for me.
  • Problem with pics

    Everything is working fine except pictures do not download, just grey squares. App support is also missing.

    The app is great. BBC write their stories such that if you know nothing whatsoever about the subject matter you're brought up to speed in no time. Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant

    I live in the US.... thankfully I have the BBC to listen to and read. Best news source as far as I am concerned..... and it's free! And, more importantly there are no ads.
  • Great app, but occasionally freezes

    The reporting is great and I live how easy it is to navigate the app. The only problem is that sometimes when I go to click on something or scroll down to see other news stories, it freezes! That is the only problem that I’ve had!

    BBC has too many ads look elsewhere
  • Great App, but increasing anti-US

    BBC is my choice for news. I find out more about home (U.S.) than US news apps. How cool is that? And they give better international news. Update: I have noticed that BBC is now partisan against non-liberals. Their bias shows too much and they need to reign it in. Report facts; let people decide. Minus 2 stars for bias.
