    Version 2026.5.0

    pricingmonetization

    I added BBC so that I could stay up to date on international news stories after CNN decided to paywall a large portion of their app. BBC has been great, I'm so glad I had the reason to branch out, but in the last couple of months, more and more articles require a subscription. Give me ads around the story, but I'm not paying for a subscription. Don't make the same mistake as CNN. I'd have rated the app 5 stars before this came up, I had no complaints.

    Version 2026.4.0

    contentadvertisementspricingservicecross_platform_consistency

    The BBC used to be a pinnacle of good journalism and their app was good. Now far too much is excluded (for an international user), it's full of adverts, almost all articles are unavailable and much more audio is also unavailable unless listening live. I feel forced into the app and forced to put up with substandard service. I'd very happily pay for content. As it is, I resent it most days!!

    Version

    performance_and_bugsmonetizationadvertisementsupdates_and_maintenancecontent

    The app has always been subpar. Crashes, videos infinitely loading, some articles opening as a webpage rather than in the app, ads appearing even if the content doesn't load, and other issues. Different iterations of the app have performed better than others, and I put up with it for years because I preferred BBC over any other news outlet. But now you have to subscribe to view any of the articles, and that's just a slap in the face on such a poorly optimized app.
