BBC News - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Mar 23, 2023
Terrible user experience on mobile. The latest update goes against all user experience and accessibility best practices. The sideways scroll of the top stories is out of reach of most people's thumbs, making it impossible to use one-handed. Even when using a finger, the screen moves vertically when trying to horizontally scroll so it takes many attempts. And this is from someone who is very comfortable with technology. Not enough national and world news anymore either. What a terrible update.

Recently gone from 5 star to 2 star. Resource hungry, a lot of clutter, video intensive, less focus on news.

Good app, but a ridiculous amount of breaking news alerts now!

Buggy - often goes blank and doesn't load. The home screen widget often freezes and shoes a blank screen without any headlines

Not the service it once was. Needs more new content that is updated regularly. Same stories repeated over and over and again. My news categories barely change at all.

The news on it is excellent. However,I receive no news alerts,despite it being switched "on." I wrote to them and received a corporate response that has not resolved the situation. Disappointed.

Installed and uninstalled, all within a minute. Why do I have to register an account to see the news? I can use the desktop version without an account. Screw you BBC.
