The news is good, I'd like all the articles that you can get on the pc webpage more obviously. Brilliant
The latest update turned on Breaking News notifications, with outrageously loud sound effects, even though I have had that disabled for a long time now. A friend with the app installed has also confirmed that they just received a Breaking News notification even though they have had that feature disabled. I've lowered the rating of my review to reflect this. Enjoy it!
I like this app, and the choice of content available is good. The only problem I have is that on my hudl2 when I use the device in landscape mode I cannot read some of the additional headlines (Related Stories) that normally come at the end of an article. The text displays as a thin column about three characters wide going down the page and is almost unreadable. In portrait mode the text displays correctly. It is a minor bug, but becomes irritating after a while. Perfect!
Latest update defaults notifications and sound alerts to on. Previously had both off, as they are loud and obnoxious. Go well
Text is still disappearing off the end of the page. Fiddling with the text size doesn't fix the problem. Come on, get a grip and make it what is was. Amazing!
At the moment the summary after the headline isn't all on the page and disappears off as it goes to the right. Bug that needs fixing. Good
Sorry guys had to uninstall as I keep running out of space on my phone and am culling apps that I can't install on 32gb SD card. Pretty good
Breaking news is right up to date. This app works for me as my phone is turned off at night. Fantastic
Having to uninstall as my phone keeps telling me that the app frequently restarts, which makes my device run slowly and causes battery drain. Sony Xperia Compact Z5, has been that some as long as I have owned the phone. Great!
Previous version was better. Now have to click twice to access my list of topics. Pretty good
Much preferred the previous version. Don't like My News at all. That said I still use it every day Just wow
Love this for finding out facts, unbiased. And I love the querky section Also in the News Must have
Since update it seems to have lost all of my headline settings. I now only have 4 categories which the app put there. I used to have science, health, Wales etc. Where have they gone and why why why do you have to change stuff all the time. Old true saying. If it ain't broke don't fix it! Marvelous
Nice app, but the text is too narrow on my tablet after the last update when you read an article. Needs to be like it was before. :( Well done!!
First rate content from the Beeb. App can be incredibly slow to open from breaking news notifications. Fabulous!
It's ok but the website works better. I don't like that the sport option is now removed and I don't want a separate app for sport. Not being able to turn off video autoplay permanently is incredibly annoying and the clunky way the videos transition to landscape full screen means you miss the first part of the video. Muito bom!
As other users have noted the new layout makes it difficult to navigate. My News (where you add topics of interest) is now a sub menu with further tabs for your topics. Articles in some areas appear to be updated infrequently and often repeated. Needs some work on GUI and content. Worth a go!
The new version of this app i s horrendous. I choose to have several pages of focused news topics but now BBC have decided that I have to see all my chosen topics as 1. Hate it so much tempted to switch to Sky's app. wow lol
Why change something that isn't broken? To have to go into 'My News' now to see all my personal categories is ridiculous and counter intuitive. Please get it fixed ASAP. wow lol
Does what you expect and better than BBC Sport app. which I think is hard to use. Recent change to font sizes makes it easier to read. Also image handling fixed - was broken for a while. No killer feature that means it is a must have but let's hope no one tries to upgrade it to make it flashier. Simple is always better. Fantastic
