This app needs fixing and the only way I can contact is through postal mail. I'm not doing that. Fix this app please. ### 2/5 — Crashes a lot and does not update! *2020-11-20, version 2.6* Please update the application so that news are regularly updated and improve the application so it does not crash when I open a story. PLEASE UPDATE! ### 2/5 — Brief today *2020-11-20* This page crashes every time it is run ### 3/5 — Head lines are not visible on home page *2020-06-05* Head lines are not visible on home page. Reliable news from KSA. ### 4/5 — Front page error *2020-05-14* The headlines are not appearing in the front page once we click only are able to read the words are not listing in the front page ### 3/5 — App is working fine *2020-03-14* Now it’s working fine ### 2/5 — Stop the ad pop up in web browser *2018-08-25* Please stop the pop up in the web browser. I close it right away. It just annoying and reduces how often I open a story. If you do a monthly (affordable!!!) of 5-10 dollars a month through iTunes, i would consider it. Just make the app better!! ### 1/5 — Bad Navigation *2018-05-18* The layout has improved but navigating back and forth through articles is impossible. I scroll down, select an article and when I try to go back to the menu at the point where I left off, I can’t, I have to go back to the main menu and start again. Badly designed, someone forgot the basics of design and user friendliness!!!! Simple back button will suffice. ### 3/5 — No Back Button? *2018-04-04* The new version is a massive improvement but there doesn’t seem to be a “back” button on any article pages. This forces the user to click the menu button each time in order to return to the main page instead of simply going “back” to where the user was previously. ### 1/5 — Need to update and upgrade *2017-12-18* Either update this app to have latest news, or simply take it out of AppStore. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 11 *2017-10-14* Please update the app. 14 oct 2017 Still does not work with iOS 11 ### 1/5 — App needs updating to work with ios 11 software *2017-10-01* App needs updating to work with ios 11 software update for iphone ### 1/5 — No update since 12/2013 *2017-07-15* Loved this app until they stopped uploading stories as of 07/07/17. The app got worse as the iOS versions upgraded to the point where now it's just taking up space. ### 2/5 — Triple B *2017-06-15* It's been a while it has no update since 2013 (4 years). It could be no fund allocated for this app anymore so as to improvise its features and functions or the publishing company don't like to go on the app in the Apple Store contract may be expired and no intention to renew. Deleting it is the best choice and go to google and search "ArabNews" for the latest news! ### 1/5 — Not all ... *2016-07-16* Not all the stories in the newspaper including in this app. for instance, Wacky World on the last page always not found... ### 1/5 — Very bad interface and design. *2014-11-25* 1- Notifications won't take you to the right link. 2- Difficult to use. 3- the green color is killing me 😣 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — User Experience is NOT an Option *2025-08-02* Really sad to see how buggy of an experience the app is. Keep hanging, crashing, needs me to log in multiple times in the same session. I wanted to use it as an alternative to the website and printed newspaper but unfortunately it seems I need to go back to more traditional media consumption. Clearly you guys are using some not-so-good third party features that is making the experience very poor. Please get your IT team to work on big fixes. Often times the content inside an article takes a long while to simply load. Really really frustrating experience with the App! Please fix. ### 1/5 — Nothing Arab About This *2025-05-07* Post written by Arab liberals who want to be anything but Arab. Rather than offering a unique point of view from an Islamic and Arab view, they water down their own values to align with western ones. No individuality I’m afraid. ### 1/5 — Like most things in Saudi Arabia... *2021-01-09* ... it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — help *2020-10-09* Very pristine looking app. But who's responsible for updating it? ### 1/5 — Can’t see article titles *2020-06-18* It’s weird that, when in the home page, the articles titles don’t show! ### 1/5 — App not working from France *2020-04-08* I would like to use the app in France, but there’s only one news on it, changing daily. No possibility to naviguate neither to see other articles. ### 1/5 — Not working on 13.4 *2020-04-04* Used to be good but after ios 13 updates, text won’t appear and app keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing on most articles *2019-11-28* After clicking on the main articles on the home screen it keeps crashing, even after restarting the app, there is no way to see it. Fix your app cause its a good idea ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work on iOS *2019-10-18* The app has not been working on iOS for several months now and yet there’s no fix. ### 1/5 — Not Working in ios 12.4.1 *2019-08-29* Arab News is not getting opened in ios above mentioned version. When we open, it automatically throws out of app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Job *2023-10-29* 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Great, objective judgement of Middle Eastern news *2019-06-28* As a white British student, it is refreshing to find an app which provides news on every country in the Middle East and does not simplify news to the region as a whole. ### 5/5 — Unbiased and concise. *2019-06-21* Currently the best news source from my experience. I see in Arab News what I used to see in the BBC before they were corrupted. ### 5/5 — Update software *2017-09-22* Please update software to work with iPhone ISO 11 version. ### 5/5 — Arab news l *2013-04-30* App no longer works ### 5/5 — Crashing *2013-04-25* Now it crashes after launch ### 5/5 — Good *2012-03-26* Very good app It's keep me updated with my beloved home!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome ap useful too *2012-02-15* Dndjjf ### 5/5 — Sneaks911 *2011-10-13* Very good app ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-03-21, version 1.0* Excellent app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
