Why Aljazeera Arabic audio app is not working

I was using the audio Arabic aljazeera app for years and now while the app still carries the logo of aljazeera, it has been replaced by another radio station. I was accessing the app through “myTuner radio” app. Can you please look into this and fix ASAP as this has certainly impacted the number of people listening to the station and made them switched to other stations.

Needs some annoying fixes

Can’t you give an option to remove the ad before playing video news. It’s the same ad always and is useless to everyday listeners. We miss the important news sometimes because of this.

And secondly can’t you give a lower quality video for mobile users on the go

Great news

You always has balanced news.

Thank you for all that you are...

I use 4 apps for news and this is my favorite one in many ways. Your news is raw and reality. I can select topics, or countries, or skim top stories. It has helped me avoid America’s news almost entirely and I get real facts out of you about everyone instead of the selfish naive land of America. Thank you for all that you are... Keep improving and being the voice we need. Even my friends are starting to use this app often.

If you like this app download the SCMP app (South China Morning Post) as well.

I use NPR and The Atlantic as well for more sophisticated topics about the US.

Just the facts - no agenda

Absolutely the most fact-based new source I’ve found. AlJazeera provides world-wide coverage that seems to get pushed so far to the back (although I only use my iPad to read the news) that I just don’t find them. The app is easier to use than the web page, so it is definitely worth it. I really can’t imagine why I didn’t think of this sooner.

AlJazeera, keep it up!

Unbiased, raw, and educating

As an American, it’s difficult to find an unbiased, raw, and real journalistic approach that features life as it is in the rest of the world. This is what REAL news looks like- honest coverage of topics most Americans have remained blissfully unaware of or ignorant to. Always enlightening; highlighting the struggles, trials, and tribulations of peoples in turmoil with un-scathing honesty. AJ America undoubtedly outshines media outlets such as Faux news, CNN, and NBC news. It’s a broad spectrum international news site that will open your eyes to world atrocities spanning the entirety of the globe.

Nothing about the social turnmoil

I was drawn to Aljazeera for their analysis of facts and fair reporting. However as a French national living abroad, I cannot express enough my disappointment as nothing appears in any media or Aljazeera about the social yellow vest movement or the recent social uprise there last 5 weeks in France that is consuming the country at all levels of the society. Once again it shows the complete boycott of it by all media. How can a population of 65 million struggling with their current Président Macron and it’s government be ignored unless that Lexus like all others is being bought and managed by big corporations friends of Pdt Macron?
Very sad. #nomorefreepress!

Videos don’t have sound

On iPhone XR here and videos will play without sound.

Quality Global Journalism.

I really love this app, I’ve started checking it everyday to keep up to date on the issues plaguing the world currently. I like that I see articles on the UK, Nigeria, and Romania all on one page with videos and easy to read articles. I also love that they focus on social issues like women’s rights and general human rights.

My only complaint is that the app doesn’t have a “search” function that I’m aware of. It would be so useful to be able to search for articles on a particular topic. If there is one available, it’s not very easy to spot which might suggest an improvement needs to be made to the design in terms of user experience.

Otherwise, great app. Would recommend. I love their twitter feed as well.

Awesome.

No other source but here. Unfortunately all other media outlets are too America biased. At least I know they’re slant.

They aren’t bought and paid for by companies. It’s a hell of a lot easier to see a slant here,because of obvious pro Arab views.

With American tv I have to sit and watch uncontrollably awful commercials selling “don’t pee on yourself pharmaceuticals”, or corporate journalism.

One day we will learn though. Hopefully.

That way I can receive American news again. once the news corporations turn back into journalism, I’ll watch them all.

But until then I’d rather know the slant and not some companies bottom line.

Thanks to podcasts like joe rogan, dribble will turn to adult and we will learn integrity. Hope.
