The app is ok but….

The BBC just seems to be a spokesperson for the government and its support for left wing agendas. No longer critical or credible in so many ways.

Good lunch time reading!!

Account needed now

I used the BBC News app for a number of years, and got all my news from it. Sadly, they have now decided to require a sign up, so I have deleted the app. AP, RTE and France24 are still free and open to use without an account, so I’ve moved there. Goodbye BBC.

BBC news!!

I love this app for when I can’t be bothered to get the newspapers from the shop. It tells you everything I need to know and gives me more than information. It gives me people’s life stories and more!!

Political Reporting

I mainly enjoy the app however I feel the political reporting is heavily biased towards the Reform Party at the expense of the Conservative. Liberal Democrats and Green parties,
