Used to be good
Now full of bugs, stories full of typos, user experience is terrible compared to previous versions

Truly disappointed
I signed up for this app to follow the war in Ukraine. After all, this is the BBC. Ukraine is in their backyard. Right now, any news they put out is 6 days old. Did the war stop for the US election. I don't think so. Very Disappointed

No longer possible to save favorite topics
The old app was customisable, and it was possible to select the topics one is interested in. That is no longer possible, and the app has become useless.

Biased and anti-Semitic
Incomplete news and perspectives, while telling lies and excuses for total rejection of democrat views, policies and history

SCAM BBC FARCE
The editors far too frequently miss the mark on accuracy. Names of prospective subjects involved: incorrect. Representative parties in conflict: Not consulted. Photographs: Skewed for shock effect. Retractions: never seen one. Opportunity to inform editors: none.

They turned a decent app into a terrible one
I struggle to understand what has happened here. I've had the BCC app for years, it was fine, not amazing but did what I wanted from it no worries. The new app is so so bad. So clunky. You can't swipe to go back/forward through menus anymore, you have to navigate to the top and click “back”. Why the hell would you remove that feature? I hate it so much. I still want to read BBC for the content but mate, please fix this app!! It can't be that hard.

Was great now painful to use
This app was great when it was simple and you could easily read the articles and use the pictures to know what you had previously read. Now the font is difficult to read. The UI is difficult to navigate and the adds before video content are a joke.

Becoming a mainstream US news source
It's becoming a fox/cnn. Articles increasingly lack real investigative critical journalism. Lots of meaningless clickbait recently.

New app is terrible
Unreliable push notifications, poor UI that simply loads the web version of an article and pushing of lifestyle content instead of the news people are actually interested in makes this app a poor substitute for the BBC News app it replaced.
