It’s just a pity it’s a left wing political channel.

BBC News

BBC provide accurate informative news. All news presenters are very well presented and have knowledge to the highest standard

Easy to read the main points of the day and local news

The only bad points are that when scrolling down, a slight movement of your thumb left or right can move you to another article. Also, the app can struggle to load in poor reception areas.

Infuriating video player

Having your videos stop every time you try to scroll whilst reading the article when wanting to play in the background is infuriating. The issue is persistent even when in Picture in Picture mode. Who on earth decided this was a good idea?
