While not perfect, it gives a great perspective that lacks on other news apps. ### 3/5 — iPhone 5s can’t get the app won’t open *2024-04-09, version 4.18* iPhone 5s won’t open the app ### 3/5 — Good news for most part very biased on Israeli Palestinian conflict *2022-08-06, version 4.18* It’s great for the most part it’s very biased on the Palestinian side going as far as supporting terrorism take all that info with a grain of salt other than that it’s a pretty good news source ### 2/5 — App crashes *2022-05-19, version 4.18* The iPhone app crashes while opening. It’s been long time but don’t see any improvement. ### 3/5 — This app is not supported *2022-04-08, version 4.17* Says to download other app ### 5/5 — fair, honest , timely and international *2022-04-07, version 4.17* news from an outside source that has a history of reliable coverage of important and difficult news events and stories . ### 5/5 — No longer supported *2022-04-02, version 4.17* Such a shame that this App is no longer supported, it was a great source of global news and, unlike its successor, could be viewed in landscape mode on iPad. ### 5/5 — New App Problematic *2022-03-27, version 4.17* New AJ app does not rotate on IPad as a result the viewers head must be turned to read the stories. It new to impossible to view the app since it seems more complicated than the original app. PLEASE FIX THIS. ### 1/5 — Old version vs new version *2022-03-26, version 4.17* I really like the news coverage and ease of use of the older version of AJ English app, both on my iPad and iPhone. I find the new version on my iPad to be unresponsive at times and becomes hung, or stuck, in a live news portion of the app. I see no way to back out of the section I’m in. Deborah ### 1/5 — Times Have Changed *2022-03-16, version 4.17* The once even handed Al Jazera has now gone . Might as well watch CNN or FOX . As the Middle East gets further into bed with the USA I don’t see this once great news network improving . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App not supported *2026-02-26, version 4.19* App not supported ### 1/5 — AI ads are the worst! *2026-01-04, version 4.19* The AI ads on this app are atrocious. Not a good customer experience. Followed AL Jazeera for too long to be pushed with this slop between articles. Do better. ### 1/5 — App no longer supported? *2025-06-22, version 4.19* If the app is no longer supported, why don’t you remove it from the App Store? ### 1/5 — Dishonest reporting *2025-06-18, version 4.19* Complete one sided reporting. Unreliable and untrustworthy ### 1/5 — Biased propaganda *2023-12-09, version 4.19* An anti-Semitic opinion outlet masquerading as a media organisation ### 1/5 — Apple TV - English App but in Arabic???? *2023-08-07, version 4.19* After the last IOS update on Apple TV, Live feed is now in Arabic and no longer in English….. Surely based on the name, this is basic functionality that does not work, so is rather misleading? ### 1/5 — Rotten ideologies and illegal fundings *2022-06-11, version 4.18* Boycott this news channel. They are 21 century English speaking morden jihadists nothing more 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — It takes forever to load. *2022-05-30, version 4.18* The old Al Jazeera app used to load instantly. This new version of it? Definitely not. All you get is this blue splash page which can stay on for anything between long time and forever. Other news apps, like the BBC, Reuters, Apple News, etc. they load instantly. Why Al Jazeera can’t do the same? ### 1/5 — False articles written about mufti menk *2022-04-20, version 4.17* False articles written about mufti menk ### 1/5 — Discontinued *2022-03-31, version 4.17* This app no longer functions; if you try to open it, the only available page is pushing you to get their new app, which unfortunately feels like a downgrade in every way. Don’t know why they haven’t updated any of the information on this store page to reflect the discontinued status of this version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 카타르정부소유 공영방송 *2026-01-09* 퀄리티 상당히 괜찮음. ### 5/5 — My only news channel I trust! *2024-08-17, version 4.19* Non biased and highly recommend if you are looking for the truth and not western propaganda! ### 5/5 — Unbiased reporting *2024-03-24, version 4.19* International journalists who have integrity and honesty report for this unflinchingly transparent honest ethic reporting source. The only reliable news source to follow ### 5/5 — No commercials. Best way to go. *2024-02-01, version 4.19* CNN is for libs. Fox is for conservatives. Aljazeera is for Muslims, and their content is much denser and thicker than fox or CNN. Fox and CNN are mostly shallow content and commercials every 30 seconds. Aljazeera is the best I've found for news so far. ### 5/5 — Real news *2023-12-02, version 4.19* Western mediua let us down. I am a white 65 year old midwestern mom. Gazans deserve the support of all of us. NPR, CBS, CNN, all of them got this shockingly wrong. So now I get my news from Al Jazeera. ### 5/5 — The App is no longer supported *2023-10-31, version 4.19* Because Apple doesn’t want the public to hear the other side of the story. ### 5/5 — Great unbiased News *2023-10-28* People writing bad reviews about this news channel are being fed one sided propaganda for years and they don't have the intelligence or comprehension to understand the other side of the story. They are ignorant and arrogant at the same time. There are many times in history the lies and misinformation by big western media has been uncovered (wmd in iraq, over thrown democratically elected govts. across the globe etc.)but people have very short term memory and they forget about the lies and misinformation fed in the past. They again and again trapped into believing the one sided agendas shoved into their brains. Lot of people starting to realize media's double standards and misinformation but now western countries are going to go after the social media and so called freedom of speech. I feel pity for the public in the west that how they kept in the drak through the lies of the government and media. The new generation is very different but I fear that their social media freedom is going to be compromised/takenaway very soon without everyone even realizing. Only the public is going to take the burden of the financial consequences of the govt decisions. Sad!! ### 5/5 — This version worked will *2023-01-06* Worked well, had landscape mode support. Everything fine… then someone decided to create a new app which has tons of bugs and is hardly as good as this old one…… ### 5/5 — BRING BACK THIS APP!! *2022-06-21, version 4.18* The new app is so bad it's unusable. Bring back the one! ### 5/5 — Bring this app back *2022-04-10, version 4.17* Wish they would bring this app back rather than the joke of a new app they have --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
