  • You must buy a subscription to read.

    I used to like BBC. It’s nice to see how other countries view the US. Now you must buy a subscription to read the articles. I will be deleting this app.
  • We are not well.🇺🇸

    Thank you for honest journalism, I get most of my world news and even our US news from you, I honestly do not trust any American news outlet anymore.
  • Failure to provide

    I rely on this unbiased source for work and arguments. So, when you tell me that I have to pay a subscription to cite information on a topic I already know about my own country. You fall out of any favor I held for you. You have failed. News organizations are supposed to educate and report what is going on to all who it may concern. Not to hoard reliable knowledge and news from all who refuse to pay your fee. I made an account and yet I can’t even read the article I signed up for. I am sorry to say that I will be going elsewhere for the time being.
  • Why it crashes every time I open it?

    I like this app but it crashes every time I open it. It was working fine until two days ago. I restarted my phone several times, but no avail.
  • Paid news subscription is a joke

    Why would ANYONE pay for your news?!? I’ve deleted your app because paying for your brand of entertainment news is a waste of money

    Latest update to the app has resulted in consistent crashing. The app will automatically self-close even with video playing, but doesn't log any error prior to doing so. Reinstalling the app also doesn't resolve as it continues to happen regardless. Pretty much unusable in its present form.
  • Paywall

  • Paywall? Bye Bye

    I used this app years to keep an eye on UK perspectives. Now they have imposed a paywall upon US-only visitors. Seriously? I have deleted the app.
  • Great content, glitchy app

    Love all the content, but the app crashes every few minutes since the last update.
  • BBC is Great, the Subscription is a Scam

    By Manwe, Varda, Aule
    The BBC is a superb source of news. The subscription to the app is a scam. I bought it and there are still ads everywhere. Articles have ads. The live TV has ads, multiple ones. Watching brief videos requires 15 second of ads. Another issue is with the app. Controlling podcasts, finding films or podcasts, news personalization, and screen casting the live stream are all clunky. Another issue is that it is unclear why certain content is available or not. Some Americast podcasts are available, others not. Inside Science seems to have been suspended and has not been updated with new episodes available elsewhere. I have requested a full refund. Shame on you for false advertising
