Hard to scroll down
There seems to be an issue where it is hard to scroll down - scroll down as with any other app and it bounces around and then scrolls up. Scrolling up is smooth though. Makes it hard to read articles.
Issues
I love this app read news from all across the globe. However off late there seems to be some issue with the app. While you are reading a news and try to scroll down the news doesn’t scroll down and even if it does it’s not smooth but in jerks. I have an iPhone 12 and have deleted and reinstalled the app with the issue still persisting. I am not sure if the problem is just with my phone or with the app in general. If the developers can look into this, it will be much appreciated.

Superb content but display freezes
The content is up there with the best of the best but the app can be extremely tedious to use, and sometimes it’s almost unusable.
The app displays advertisements - and you can’t work around that. But when they are loading, the app freezes, and they are very slow to load. This affects scrolling, which locks up for seconds at a time, making the app deeply frustrating to use.
Another ship that’s being spoilt for wont of a ha’pence worth of tar.

Bug
Can’t scroll through articles properly anymore, please fix
Great journalism, terrible app
Al Jazeera is quite possibly one of the top news outlets on this planet. Journalism that isn't at the expense of authenticity to protect American interests is at a premium these days. That said, the UI is terrible with this app. I've never seen an app that is so buggy and tricky to page down. Scrolling up is smooth, but in order to scroll down, you have to continually lift your finger and press back down to scroll. I'm a fast reader, like many people are, and it's important to have a way to scroll down quickly to be able to read at the pace we normally read. Otherwise, it just becomes tedious and thus easier to read in a browser. Fix this, and I'll happily change to 5 stars. Five stars for the journalism. Negative stars for the app.

Failing to scroll … 👎
After updating my latest iOS, to 15.1 I can no longer scroll any item.
When attempting to scroll, the initial display refuses to scroll and it starts being jittery, flicking rapidly up and down.
I have found this app quite useful in the past, however I’ll now place it my departure lounge, where, if this issue is still happening after one month, the app will be deleted.

Short and simple yh
Consuming news from different outlets for years, never had an issue until 3 weeks ago when this app does not let me scroll traditionally and I have to input different screen swipes to read articles. Major bugs. Get it fixed
Reasonable for international news, bold opinion pieces
I read the AJ seeking a more international slant from regional news sources. For instance, during the US 2020 presidential election their articles were not optimistic about the projections, and they turned out to be right while the NYT ate it’s own hat. AJ journalists seem to inherently get a lot of hate without good cause — I’ve come to find that levels their reporting.
Perhaps some people are turned off by their opinion pieces, but that’s what they are, Op-Eds! They make me think even if I don’t agree.
As for the app, it could use some attention, but I’m glad it’s available.

The best source of global news
Al Jazeera is in my opinion the best of any global news network. They report on regions of the world that are often ignored or sidelined by other large networks, and the quality and breadth of its investigatory documentaries are unparalleled. My only recommendation would be that the hosts of the shows (e.g. Inside Story) not interrupt their guests so frequently. Perhaps it would be better to have fewer guests and less interruptions. Thank you Al Jazeera for the quality reporting and for providing your network coverage free of charge.
