Atrocious, absolutely terrible.
Words can’t describe how bad this app is now. Can’t believe anyone even tries to continue using it. This made a lot of people very upset, as the recent comments tell the story all to clear.
Terrible upgrade
This latest upgrade switching to black and trying to get me to sign in every time I open it is ridiculous. Come on guys, I used to go to you because you were the only sane, reliable news network around. Now you are making it hard to access and the black colour is a real turn off also.
Bad UI/UX and indifferent to member feedback
With every update I wait and hope to see improvements, from the removal of customized topics to the ability to swipe back in an article, but sadly the app has seen no UI/UX improvements and management are blissfully ignorant of the downturn, ignoring months of negative feedback. So sad to see a great news app ruined.
Used to be good
Too much push of what they want me to listen to. Just wanted world service. I guess it’s a different app now.
Recent update ruined app
BBC news has great articles, however the recent update has made the app unusable with its terrible UI.
Not getting better
The app was better years ago and could easily browse through the articles, now it keeps getting worse and worse and less pleasant to catch up on the news. Can’t swipe back and out of current article.
Ruined
What happened? This is in worse shape than British teeth. It was once a fantastic very navigable app and now I have trouble finding any news. Bring back the most read section! Please fire whoever approved and designed this steaming pile of app.
The app still includes BBC News, with the latest news articles and videos from our trusted global network of journalists. We’ve added more BBC stories and videos covering business, innovation, culture, travel, Earth, and much more. MORE LIVE COVERAGE
