Love Al Jazeera but the app needs improving.
I love Al Jazeera for its news and content particularly for the fact that there so much that goes unreported by most news outlets. That's why it pains me to say that the app is not up to scratch with the rest of the Al Jazeera website. These days I will use the browser version rather than the app as the content fails to appear sometimes in the app that is on the main website and shows like Inside Story do not appear inside the app.
Also can you update the app to suit iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus resolutions please?
Please Al Jazeera fix these things!
I desperately want to give you five stars but for these reason I have listed I can't just now.

Needs an update
All of a sudden my news isn't updating on other news sections, such as in 'Central & South Asia.' It was working fine about a week or so ago.
Another thing is that for us U.S. folks, we can't watch videos/watch live without connecting to a VPN. For those interested, you can download TunnelBear and your problem will be solved. Although, it would be best if we didn't have to do this every time we wanted to watch something on the app.
Regardless, I still give it 5/5 stars because Al Jazeera is still better than American news.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!
Can't watch live steam from the US?!! I got this app when streaming from the US was available. I loved it. It was the best app had. The older version was amazing. Why change it?! I am giving this app one star for the sole reason of the live streaming being taken away from the app and website!!! How come I can stream Al-Jazeera Arabic all the way from the Middle East and streaming is not available from the UK?! It makes no sense. The whole reason I downloaded the app in the first place was so that I could stream the channel. Please add streaming from the US! Al-Jazeera America is ok compared to Al-Jazeera English. I liked Al-Jazeera English much better. I watch Al-Jazeera America regularly, but have always enjoyed being able to watch Al-Jazeera English (in fact I started watching Al-Jazeera English first and still prefer it). I enjoyed watching it to get a European perspective. Please provide live streaming to the US again!! Us Americans are starving for REAL news. If live streaming is not reintroduced I will delete the app, just like I did the Al-Jazeera America app (no point in having that one either since their is no live streaming). The whole reason I downloaded the app in the first place was so I could I stream the the channel. If streaming continues to not be allowed from my location their is no point in the app taking up valuable memory on my smart phone.

Ad
Al Jazeera was the best app for iPhone. Clear and easy to read...now there is a ad banner asking me to download another app.
Please take it down it ruins a great app.

Issues?
What issues? I was curious to see that issues stemming from lack of content to inability to access the audio or video stream were not present. The app categorizes news sections succinctly and displays enough headlines on one page to get a good sense of current news. Further, a reviewers contention that Al Jazeera has been bought out does not seem evident at all.

excellent app. excellent news source.
This is a truly stellar app from a superb news source. As an American I appreciate access to world news; Al Jazeera provides content unmatched by any other news app I have used, and I use several. The only gripe I have is being unable to select words to look up definitions. Also, I have issues with crashes at times but issue seems to resolve itself. Still a five star app in my opinion.

Best news channel around
Fao those that are moaning regarding the contents of al jazeera - my analysis would be either you blindly wish to allow the injustice and journalistic bias that is so evident to go on OR you possibly aren't the brightest spark and don't even realise how biased the contemporary news is!
Advice>> actually watch the channel first and stop whinging when someone speaks the truth.

My new favorite news app
AlJazeera has long been my favorite news source, but I ignored them this past year because their old iOS app wasn't up to par.
This new app is everything I hoped for though! The super condensed listing of of news articles makes navigating through more content faster and easier. I can dive into content across categories much quicker!

A viable option for news...
So, noone cares of you are white.
ANYWAY, it is a technically superior app that makes it easy and efficient to watch live news and connect to different sectors of al Jazeera English. They obviously have their own biases (there's no major news outlet on earth that doesn't) but the fact that AJ tries to report news from all over the world and from various communities and experiences in the form of the typical news format, news specials and documentaries makes them stand apart.
