  • One of the great english-language news sources.

    I particularly like them as they have a broader perspective on the United States than the sources with in that country.

    Beyond their news, they also have a great cultural perspective.

    Hail, Brittania!
  • One request

    On the new iPhones, it is difficult to set the sleep timer when listening to live radio — the button for the sleep timer overlaps the signal strength/Wi-Fi/battery info. I would listen more if this was fixed.
  • News Worthy

    Excellent news, terminology outstanding. Topics on target. I find reading the articles and scanning the subtitles to be on target to be what I’m looking to learn about and what I’m looking at learning.
  • Your earthquake story

    I just listen to the story of the Syrian family living in southern Turkey in a tent. I listened to little Nada talk about how she lives her little friends she plays with, how she loves her father and mother, and how so very cold she is at night. I began to weep that such a sweet child, one of many I am sure, should suffer so terribly as the world looks on. I am not wealthy but I wonder how the wealthy of the world could hear this sweet child’s words and do nothing! How someone could grab a beer from the fridge as they sail their yacht and not even think about Nadia and her family’s suffering. thank you for the story though it troubled my soul deeply.

  • Don’t like the auto play advertising

    I get having to advertise, but the ads that play video are obnoxious. When Closing a news feed, these sometimes play automatically and it makes me not want to use the app.
  • Concise informative reporting

    The news presentation is accurate, concise, focused and non biased. Opinions of interviewees are not judged by the reporter/analysts. Rather honest and true reporting of situations that is of interest to myself is well presented. I find the integrity of the management’s operation of the news service up-lifting.

  • Good content and audio quality

    Good content and audio quality
  • Poor performance

    It rarely updates. The news cycle can be eight hours or more old rather than the latest version. One must uninstall and reinstall the app to make it work
  • B B B World Newd

    I find your app the must accurate and far reaching service available.

    Most of the US news is provincial and biased and directs the American public to their way of thinking. Most US news is opinion not fact . Just one persons opinion.
