### 2/5 — يحتاج الى تحديث مستمر للأخبار

*2020-03-15*

تحية طيبة 
لايمكن ان يكون احدث خبر في الأخبار العاجلة مر عليه ١٢ ساعة !!!! 
ان كانت توجد لديكم نية بمنافسة وكالات الأخبار الأخرى يجب عليكم العمل على انفسكم وعلى مواقع التواصل والتطبيق بتحديث الأخبار ، وأنت تعلمون ان المنافسين كثيرين جداً .

### 3/5 — مشكلة تطبيق

*2020-03-04, version 4.1*

صوت الحقيقة و لكن التطبيق فيه مشكلة في الاشعارات
الاشعارات الاخبار العاجلة لم تأتي خارج التطبيق

### 3/5 — إيقاف الإعلانات

*2020-02-07, version 4.1*

### 2/5 — Video is blank

*2020-01-05*

Videos are not working, only audio, with the latest app updates programs are not working

### 2/5 — Getting worse

*2019-12-22, version 3.7*

With the recent update this app is becoming about ads and not news. There’s hardly any updated new news and every time you click on something you get an add. Two stars is generous.

### 3/5 — Used to be better

*2019-07-09*

What happened to the audio live streaming? This was the best feature of the app!

### 3/5 — Article links

*2019-04-20*

Article links are broken

### 3/5 — Too many annoying add

*2018-06-25*

I like Almyadine, but I don’t know who is behind the idea of putting an add after every click, this makes the app unusable. I am also spending my time looking for the “x” button instead of reading the news. Are you a real news station, or a commercial add station?

### 1/5 — Do you check the reviews ?

*2018-06-24*

I no longer use the app, the way the ads are integrated make the experience very disappointing, use less obstructive ads please.

### 3/5 — Apple TV compatibility

*2018-06-16*

Hello I was trying to download the app on my apple tv but seems that it doesnt have compatibility with, so I was hoping if it can be fixed to be compatible with apple tv
Thanks

### 1/5 — Reader

*2019-12-19, version 3.7*

اذا انتم تهدفون لتسويق منتجات وجني المال من ورا الدعايات التي لا تتوقف وتثير الغضب فأنتم تنجحون ...لكن اذا كان هدفكم اعلامي جاد فأنتم باستخدام هذا التطبيق فشلتم في الحفاظ علي المتابعين لكم بل على العكس هذا التطبيق يبعد الناس عن الميادين من صمم التطبيق لكم هو يخدم اعدائكم و يبعد الناس عنكم لان تطبيق مقيت وكريه ولولا احترامنا لرساله الميادين لما اصلا بذلت الجهد في قول ذلك لكم.

### 1/5 — helo

### 1/5 — Crap !

*2019-10-27, version 3.7*

The app is useless and not working at all !last update 1 year ago !

### 1/5 — لا تليق بمستواها و بالخط الذي تمثله

*2019-06-30*

البرنامج ومنذ سنوات مليء بالاخطاء و عدم الاحترافية وصولا لاختفاء البث الصوتي مؤخرا... الدعايات اللعينة و التي طائل منها معشعشة فيه عندما تضغط على اكثرية اللينكات.. ما هكذا تكون لمحطة لديها دور محوري مهم تتعاطى مع جمهورها بهذه الخفية.. نرجوا اعادة صياغة البرنامج ليكون تحفة البرامج و نقدر نقرأ و نسمع و نشاهد بسلاسة ويسر..

### 1/5 — Your App does not work

*2019-04-19*

Over the past two weeks the Al mayadeen App stopped working.  when I launch a page like want to listen to news I get a blank page.  It never launches.  What is going on?   The only thing that works is live feed.

### 1/5 — Stupid mobile programming!!

*2018-08-06, version 3.7*

On TV you’re the best.. On mobile you’re the worst.
على التلفزيون أنتم الأفضل.. على الموبايل أنتم الاسوء!

### 1/5 — Best news ruined by ad overload

*2018-07-04*

How can the best news channel have the worst app because of ad overload? 
The app has great features and it’s all you need to get access to the best news from almayadeen. But one thing ruins everything else: TOO MUCH ADS. 
I mean there’s ads on the video tab 
Even on the settings tab
Wait well not every where because the videos didn’t suddenly change topics to talk about an ad yet. But I see that coming eventually. 😭
