App REVIEWS

Christia

This app has been my "go to" for news for the past 10 years with its superbly designed UI. That, however, has been mostly jettisoned for what has been termed a "modern" look which should've been implemented as an optional theme only. Customisable news has been completely removed. After so many years, I'm sorry to say I think it's time to say goodbye to this app.

dave

News is always objective and thorough. Ads are ridiculously out of proportion though. A 60 second ad attached to a 30 second video clip!! (wish I could upload the screenshot). Good content but you really need to reassess how the page is organized and figure out a better way to include ads. I know they have to be there, but if the clip is only 30 seconds, a 10 second ad would surely be more appropriate

David

Just a shell of the previous version. Unable to find any way to customise the topics or the order in which they appear. They also appear to be randomly chosen. I see China, Africa, and the US, but not Europe, for example. If there is a way to select preferred items, it's well hidden, and there is little or no room for interaction with the site. Update: Found a previous version in Google Play history. Deleted the latest one and reinstalled the old one successfully. Now able to customise again.

Kae

The new update took this from my top news app to my worst one. The loss of "my news" combined with no ability to search means it's borderline impossible to find news relevant to my interests. If it's not "breaking news" or in the top 2 stories in a popular category, then it's impossible to find. The new UI is also so wasteful with screen space that it's very frustrating to use. You're lucky if you can see 3 article previews at a time when scrolling, with a ton of wasted space between them.

Chris

Bring back my news, without it its worthless. I've been using BBC app for the past 8 years and in 8 years they haven't managed to make a simple app that actually works. On iPhone, it would freeze, would update stories, and crash. On Android it's even worse, everytime you read an article and go back it takes you to the top of the start screen. The content is why I put up with it but the app is beyond garbage.

Guest

The new update has ruined the app. There's no more search feature, so if you want to show a friend an older article, you can't. It also makes it near impossible to find videos you like. And the ads are getting ridiculous. There are a lot more within the article, and you've got to sit through a 30 add to watch a 30-second clip! I'm not usually too bothered by ads, but this is insane! Now it's basically just good for the latest headlines.

Edward

I don't understand how the new version was designed. Previously you could swipe through your favorite topics along the top bar and get a glimpse of the news easily and even find interesting new articles. Now it is just a long list of random topics and stories and it honestly doesn't function at all with it's limited options to read anything other than the breaking news item. Very bad change

Brian

I used to like using this app, but I will be deleting it after writing this review. The thumbnails are way too big. The worst part is that I can no longer see all the news categories available on BBC. For example, I can no longer view Africa news or Space and Exploration stories, unless it's a top story that appears. It is no longer possible to search these categories, as well as many others. It has become much too simplified. Nice try, BBC, it's getting deleted.

Armando

Terrible update. Where is the widget??? Having something "new", regardless for how long the previous one hasn't been unchanged, will never mean by default that it will be something good. You have to, at least, cover the minimum of functionality of the previous product. Agree with all the most recent reviews ("My News" section, etc.). Please bring back the widget. Thank you.

Leaning

The new layout is awful, looks like it was designed by someone in the marketing/advertising department instead of an experienced UX designer. The list of topics has disappeared, there's no longer the ability to choose what you want to read, the spacing is wasteful. Please revert to the previous version while you sort out the problems. I'm afraid to update the Sports app in case they've made similar changes.

Guest

I've been using this app for years and though the means of configuring it in regards of my interests were limited, the quality of articles made up for it. The most recent overhaul to me is very unfortunate as without even simple search functionality in addition to the removal of topic preferences, the usability got considerably worse. To me these changes are quite the opposite of the unspecified improvements the change notes mentioned and if I could choose, I'd go back to the old version.

Suraina

This app used to be great but automatic updates in the last few days have completely messed it up! I can't swipe left anymore and my personalised news sections have disappeared. There's just a few stories visible and it's not possible to get more. It seems like a skeletal version of the old app. Updates are meant to improve an app, not take it back to the stone age!!

Mauricio

Update on new version - 'My News', the best feature, is gone. Extremely disappointing. Hard to navigate now. BBC was one of my top news apps. Won't be anymore. Bring 'My News' back! Like the app but still waiting for the bug fix so that when using the carousel, returning from an article will not take me back all the way to the top. This is a frustrating waste of time. Please fix it in the next update!

Simon

The latest "update" is a major step back. Big images and rows take a lot of space (requires endless scrolling, and rather tabloid). Worst of all: The "my news" personalized page has gone - which was one of the greatest features of the previous version. Perhaps some people like that format, but many won't - please give us back "my news", and provide an option to enable a compact layout that is similar to the that of the previous version.

Anthony

Latest app is a backward step. Used to be able to swipe to work my way through the latest headlines. Now I have to got to go back every time. Favourite topics are gone and it's harder to navigate. Hard to understand what the developers were trying to achieve. I note that the BBC have responded saying that the app needed a modern feel. If this is what the relentless march of modernity feels like I look forward to recieving my news by cuneiform tablet before the decade is out. Very poor.

Fedor

The new update removed "my news" section. This makes it incredibly difficult to find relevant topics if you have niche interests. Also, it was extremely useful to be able to swipe the articles to go to the next/previous one without going back to the menu. This was the best app to read the BBC news, but now, with the new update, all the topics are mixed, and it became very difficult to find relevant news.

Henry

I'm really disappointed with the recent overhaul of the BBC news app. The ability to filter or even find news topics relevant to me has gone and am instead fed a list strictly curated by BBC. Many topics that I previously followed have seemingly disappeared, even from the 'Explore' tab. It feels very much like a step backwards and very much out of touch from how people would want to use the app. The addition of a dark mode is the only improvement I've noticed so far.

Jane

Very poor new UI. Description at the bottom of Top Stories tab says My News has been "replaced". No, it's been removed. Navigation to areas of interest is much more difficult than in the previous version. There's not even a search function. Finding an area of interest, like England, for goodness sake, can involve going to articles and hoping that there's a link to take one to that group. Did the BBC do any usability testing whatsoever? The content is still good, if you can get to it.

Raymond

Edit of previous review: 10.22.23. The new update is horrible. While BBC News was never my first choice for news consumption, it was near the top of the list for it. Now? It's practically unusable. The best feature of the old app: the My List, is gone. Also gone is the ability to select which region of the globe you want to look at for news. As others have said, the selectable font size is also gone. About the only good thing I can see is the addition of theme choice. Otherwise, an upgrade fail!

Nicholas

The new app seems a backward step in the user interface and the removal of being able to select your news interests seems very controlling. A very disappointing update that forces you to news articles you have no interest in. The screen format and font choice makes it a little less readable on smaller screens. Over the years the app has simplified the experience along with the editing. Shame really as the BBC news use to be succinct, grammatically correct and newsworthy.
