I hope future updates focus more on stability, usability, and restoring the quality that made the app great in the first place. ### 3/5 — Scrolling issue *2025-02-10, version 16.8.3* While scrolling through the news, the application automatically back again to the top, which forced me to start scrolling again; this issue with the application since iOS v18 ### 4/5 — Widgets are not functioning *2024-10-31, version 16.7* الودجيتس لديكم تحتاج الى تحديث. انها لا تعرض أحدث الاخبار ### 3/5 — Notifications bugging *2024-08-21, version 16.6.5* App is great with regards to coverage, features and level of detail. However, recently notifications have been bugging. I seem to be receiving the same notification multiple times over a few hours (up to 20 times! Sometimes with slightly different wording used!). It is starting to become annoying and I might delete the app. Otherwise, the 3 stars instantly become 5. ### 1/5 — I wish i didn't update! *2024-07-02, version 16.6.4* I wish i didn't update. The recent version is of a very bad quality. Audio and video streaming doesn’t work well ### 5/5 — To know more, a great slogan. *2024-01-04, version 16.6.3* The best news network in the Middle East, I cannot say more. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-01-01, version 16.6.3* Good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scrolling bugs / slow App. *2026-02-09, version 16.9* We still have these scrolling bug if not returning to previous location. Also, completely unnecessary startup sequence that only slows the app. Adds nothing to News ### 1/5 — Uae *2026-01-30, version 16.8.5* قناة تشجع الارهابيين ### 1/5 — Scrolling Bugs Continue for months and months! *2025-11-25, version 16.8.5* Honestly, how is this not fixed yet? Reading the reviews and I see it is a common issue. The issue has been going on for months! I don’t go into the news article because I know once I go back to the main screen of the app it starts to behave like on drugs; it refreshes for no reason taking to the top, a white rectangle appears at the bottom and generally not usable! نجمة فقط لوجود مشكلة في تصفح التطبيق تجعله غير قابل للإستخدام و قد يكون مقبولاً لو كانت مشكلة عابرة لساعات أو حتى أيام و لكنها مشكلة من أكثر من عام أو عام و نصف على أقل تقدير! ### 1/5 — أسوأ قناة *2025-07-30, version 16.8.5* ضد المسلمين والعرب ، وتنقل فقط ما هو لصالح الصهاينة ### 1/5 — سيئ جداً *2025-07-12, version 16.8.5* التطبيق سيئ جدا ويوجد به مشكلة الرجوع الى الاخبر الاول كل نزلت للاسفل يرجعك للاعلى ### 1/5 — App refresh *2025-03-17, version 16.8.3* Lately this app keeps refreshing. When I scroll down the screen it jumps back to the top by itself. It’s very hard to see the news in the middle or the end of the main page. ### 1/5 — Great *2025-01-31, version 16.8.2* Great app providing fresh news. ### 1/5 — سيئ جداً *2024-09-25, version 16.6.5* تطبيق سيئ جدا انقطاع مستمر في الصوت و الصورة لا انصح بالتحميل ### 1/5 — العبرية *2024-08-05, version 16.6.4* ابعد ما تكون عن نقل الحقيقة؛ هي خنجر في خاصرة القضية الفلسطينية ### 1/5 — What happened *2024-07-22, version 16.6.4* I am following the Al Arabia app since years. However the last year the streaming of. Both Alarabiya and Alhadth was really horrible, interruption, voice problem and so many other issues and I can assure you it is not my wifi because it works really great with all other apps, so please fix the bugs or at least make work like before الحقيقه لم يتم فعل اي تحسينات او علاج المشاكل، كما تقولون، كل شئ لازال لا يعمل ، صوت متقطع توقف للبث. كثيرين يشتكون وللأسف انتم لا تهتمون وللأسف ايضاً هذا غير مهني بالمرة وفيه اهانه للمستخدمين إلا إذا كانت هذه سياسه قناه العربيه فهذا شئ آخر ، هل من يرد عليا ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Anti terror *2026-03-03, version 16.9* Your Channels are suppurating Arabic.
