But why it inludes advertising? Don't tell me that France24 is so poor so it needs to be fubded this way. It looks lame. ### 3/5 — Ads blocking top stories *2026-06-10, version 6.5.11* On the new version the Top Stories are inaccessible. Please fix? It’s a great news service. ### 2/5 — Annonce gele l'application *2026-03-05, version 6.5.9* incapable d'enlever l'annonce et de voir les infos. ### 3/5 — L’application la plus nulle *2026-01-07* Rien à dire sur l’édition et sur le contenu de la radio, mais l’application est vraiment la plus nulle que je connaisse. La moindre erreur de manipulation, vouloir désactiver un rappel ou une alerte qui s’affiche par dessus, si on perd l’écran de l’application, impossible de revenir dessus normalement. Même parfois en la quittant et en la rouvrant. Insupportable aussi lorsqu’on démarre, en mode vertical donc, avec la pub qui se lance, en pivotant pour le mode horizontal, la pub recommence !!! Grrrr !!! Toutes les autres chaînes que je regarde, Arte ou INA Madelen par exemple, si elles ne sont pas parfaites, fonctionne normalement, sans avoir à s’arracher les cheveux à chaque utilisation… on se demande pourquoi France 24 n’est pas capable d’en faire autant. Merci d’avance au moindre signe de prise en comptes de ces problèmes, amplement reportés dans à peu près tous les commentaires ! P.S. : Volvo a acheté France 24 ? Et c’est quoi maintenant cette p…n de c…rie qui me demande de me connecter pour confirmer que je ne suis pas un robot !!! Je dois me connecter OÙ ???? Mais mince à la fin avec le fonctionnement de cet application pourrie ! **Developer response:** Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous faire part de votre retour.

Cordialement, Support Environnements Numériques Apps ### 2/5 — Nombreux Bug *2026-01-07, version 6.5.7* Trop nombreuses anomalies techniques ### 1/5 — Pub camouflée *2025-12-26* France 24 qui fait de la pub pour Ozempic dans un reportage bidon... ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2025-12-25, version 6.5.6* I appreciate the app, but it seems there is a bug which launches ads as soon as i open it… I actually uninstalled it a number of times and was hoping that this issue is fixed… it seems not Please see this is fixed I have now uninstalled this app permanently as no interest in resolving the uninvited ads was forthcoming ### 2/5 — Annoying ads *2025-12-14, version 6.5.6* I appreciate the app, but it seems there is a bug which launches ads as soon as i open it… I actually uninstalled it a number of times and was hoping that this issue is fixed… it seems not Please see this is fixed ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-11-23, version 6.5.5* The advertisement that instantly pops up upon opening cannot be closed, blocking all content and rendering the app useless. ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-11-13, version 6.5.5* Why is there ads on this app? Each time I open the app an ad pops up or even have the app open and my phone sleep an ad pops up after going back on this app. There used to not have apps before why now? ### 1/5 — No full screen option on iPad *2025-10-16, version 6.5.4* Why isn’t there a FULL SCREEN option in the iPad app version ### 1/5 — Biased news *2025-09-21, version 6.5.3* Obsessed by the war Israel hamas with a constant red banner about the casualties in Gaza. Infiltrated by Hamas and the leftists To be boycotted Specialised in misinformation. Just listened to their comments on AI. PATHETIC view of leftist commentators. No debate in case it would offend the journalists committee. They never talk about the million Christians persecuted and murdered by the Muslim majority in Sudan’s, Congo etc, ### 2/5 — Great news, noisy adds *2025-08-29, version 6.5.2* I like to read news from several sources. France 24 was one. But now on opening the app it launches an advert with sound. I could not find a setting to make it silent by default. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-08-14* If you ever figure out a way to charge a one time subscription please contact me and I'll be glad to download your app again. What a profound disappointment. You made it this far without shoving ads down my throat. You just introduced ads in the app recently. They're so disruptive. It churns my stomach being targeted by ads everywhere I go, it's overwhelming. I just want the news, I only need the news, please! Please reconsider your decision to sell advertising on your platform. ### 4/5 — Stop la pub *2025-08-05, version 6.5.2* Application utile mais pouvez vous au moins couper le son de la pub à l ouverture de l application ? C est très invasif ! ### 1/5 — Stupid ads *2025-08-03, version 6.5.2* Can’t seem to remove the stupid pop up ads that cover the stories I want to read so bye-bye app. ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2025-07-31* Customization options are scarce. The “ligne éditoriale” is so very French centric. Unless you have a vested interest in what matter to French from France, the article selection will feel very narrow. Not a true international media. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — - *2026-07-24, version 6.6.0* Stop the full screen pop-up ads. I’m removing the app. ### 1/5 — Fake News *2026-06-20, version 6.5.11* Saw your report about the Scottish schoolgirl protecting herself from rapists... You are a bunch of clowns France 24. Here's what you said: "No, this Scottish schoolgirl wasn’t brandishing weapons to protect herself from migrants"... So you were propagating your own Fake News afterall. ### 1/5 — Probleme *2026-05-11* Die App bleibt häufig hängen. Auf dem iPad kann ich die Texte für copy/paste nicht selektieren, in der Web-Version dagegen schon. Schade, sonst wäre das eine brauchbare App- ### 1/5 — Love/Hate *2026-04-19, version 6.5.10* Stopped Working. Deleted then downloaded it. Still won’t open. Frozen. Did love it! ### 1/5 — Impossible to use *2026-03-15* This app doesn’t work…Can’t open the article. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! Your comments really help us make the France 24 app better. If you want, please reach out to us at support.apps@francemm.com with more details. Have a great day! Kind regards, The Digital Environments Support ### 1/5 — Not possible to use *2026-03-04* Not possible to use on an iPhone sadly. You can’t get past the data selection options. ### 1/5 — Requires audio only *2026-02-18, version 6.5.9* Would be a better app if it contained an audio only setting for people on the move & not wanting to be distracted by video. ### 1/5 — Looping video and audio *2026-01-20, version 6.5.7* And need to add today that the live feed is now totally useless. Blackouts, looping text and images, video stuttering. No, not an equipment issue on my side. Recently their AI model testing results looping in live feed videos and audio. Makes what was a good news source unwatchable. ### 1/5 — Sound very low *2026-01-10, version 6.5.7* Horrible app. The sound is so low I can’t hear the news even at max volume. There is also no rotation. Is this a publicly funded app ?? They should get rid of the developer of this app ### 1/5 — Where’s the audio only? *2026-01-05, version 6.5.7* Not everyone wants to watch streaming video! Are app developers reading reviews? 🤔 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — France24 *2026-05-15* Bon site d infos ### 5/5 — One of the very best free source of information *2026-03-07, version 6.5.9* 10/10 ### 5/5 — I like your English version *2026-01-07, version 6.5.7* This mornig stopper working proporly😢 ### 5/5 — La meilleure source d’information fiable en Français *2025-06-18, version 6.3.1* Depuis que j’ai quitté la Belgique où l’information consiste surtout en la rubrique faits divers, j’ai découvert France 24, c’est gratuit, détaillé et fiable. Bravo et merci pour votre travail remarquable. ### 5/5 — Tous *2025-03-14, version 6.2.1* Tour d’horizon très complet ! ### 5/5 — Articles riches *2025-03-14* Les articles sont complets et factuels. ### 5/5 — Trop de publicités et pas de mode paysage *2024-10-20, version 6.0.0* Toujours trop de publicités qui rends l’utilisation de l’application presque inutilisable. Depuis la dernier mise à jour il n’y à plus de mode paysage ou de vidéo en plein écran. ### 5/5 — Mode paysage perdu *2024-10-17, version 6.0.0* Avec la dernière maj de l’app pour iPad, plus de mode paysage ### 5/5 — Best international news source *2024-10-17, version 6.0.0* France 24 is the best international news source. The issue debates are fair and provide multiple points of view. Unlike American Mainstream Media, France24 reports the news. ### 5/5 — Nouvelle application au top! *2024-10-16, version 6.0.0* La nouvelle application sortie le 15/10 est moderne, stable et très agréable à l’usage! Bravo à France24 et à ses équipes! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
