### 4/5 — Log in

*2026-08-25, version 2.33.0*

Have difficulty logging in as continually told that my password is not recognised.

### 4/5 — uk border patrol can't sort us out but he is supporting spain we're an island europe is not joke

*2026-08-21, version 2.32.0*

### 2/5 — GB news

*2026-08-17, version 2.32.0*

Why does this APP KEEP DISAPPEARING.
Works for 2 or 3 days then BLANK SCREEN….DELETE then REDOWNLOAD.

USELESS & POINTLESS

### 2/5 — Comment post Grey out

*2026-08-15, version 2.32.0*

The hoppers a lot that the box marked Post is greyed out . I am never rude or abusive so assume it’s a tech issue

### 2/5 — Buggy App. Small fonts

*2026-08-03, version 2.32.0*

The back button at the top left is often repositioned after watching a video clip in an article- it then stops working. Also fonts are ridiculously small and photos in articles are non-zoomable. Too much click bait and adds.   The content is mostly good but videos in articles (with photo of article) when tapped on rarely relate to the actual article.

### 4/5 — uk border patrol can't sort us out but he is supporting spain we're an island europe is not joke

*2026-07-31, version 2.31.0*

### 2/5 — GBNews

*2026-07-29, version 2.31.0*

I used to watch GBNews regularly for over 3 hours a day. It used to be excellent. However, of late, it has become so repetitive! The same topics appear in the same format hour after hour. Surely there must be a way to unscramble this to make it more interesting.  I know adverts are essential for revenue but the constant repetition of these is a big turn off which is what I am tending to do more and more frequently. Such a shame!

### 2/5 — Andy Burnham

*2026-07-25, version 2.31.0*

I’ve been a fan of GB news for a long time. I now find your presenters are sounding like a bunch of 10 year old bullies rg. Andy Burnham. Not Clever. Think you might lose a lot of fans. Embarrassing

### 3/5 — Membership

*2026-07-24, version 2.31.0*

I have repeatedly tried to support the channel but I’m going around in circles. I would love to support and input some remarks but at the moment, after my last 4 try’s I’m giving up for now.

### 2/5 — Sign up!

*2026-07-24, version 2.31.0*

Why on earth do I need an account to listen to GB News? And why do you need to know who I am so I can hear the constant weather reports?
GB News was full of promise as a start up, now I can’t watch you without you wanting to watch me.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2026-07-18, version 2.31.0*

For a news app it’s good to see news being reported that the mainstream media ignore. However it’s completely frustrating to have to keep logging in each time, something my mainstream media apps don’t. It’s not log in once and that’s it, it’s pretty much daily. Today it’s not even letting me log in. Please sort this out.

### 3/5 — Why ?

*2026-07-15, version 2.31.0*

Why when reporting you are quick to say white male but when it’s any one other than just not reported?
This is not right

### 1/5 — App advertisements

*2026-07-15, version 2.31.0*

GB news is great but lately the ads in between from 'net shorts' are violent and truly shocking a woman being made to drink bleach and another lady beaten to the ground! I can't use the app anymore.

### 2/5 — Poorly designed app

*2026-07-14, version 2.31.0*

If I am reading the comments, why do I have to scroll back all the way to the very first comment in order to click the “X” to close them down? Surely there should be a “back” button.. If there’s a news flash and I want to see the full article, if I haven’t closed down the last time I was looking at the app, then the whole thing freezes and I need to completely close down the app. It seems that there are a lot of things that weren’t thought of when the app was designed. Maybe it’s time for a makeover.

### 1/5 — Forcing a sign in as a disgrace

*2026-07-07, version 2.1.12*

I expected better from GB news that needing digital ID to read the news.

### 1/5 — Pearlyoyo46

*2026-06-30, version 2.1.12*

Impossible to vote or read letters when one is a member have tried countless times  very disappointing

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Biased

*2026-08-23, version 2.32.0*

App lags and asking for too much personal information, news editors and coverage are dangerously biased and fuelling hate in the country, this service is a threat to British domestic security.

### 1/5 — Can’t Login !

*2026-08-22, version 2.32.0*

Logged out then no email to reset password so it’s just a waste of space! I have no option other than to delete it 🤨

### 1/5 — Why ?

*2026-08-16, version 2.32.0*

Why when reporting you are quick to say white male but when it’s any one other than just not reported?
This is not right

### 1/5 — Disappointed and  disgusted

*2026-08-13, version 2.32.0*

I’m writing this review as I’m extremely angry at the remarks by one of your presenters Camilla making a remark about Rupert Lowe grooming gang inquiry as jumping on a band wagon which was aired on YouTube I’m that disgusted with her remarks I’m going to complain at the highest level to ofcom and shutting my account down altogether how dare you Camilla you are ment to be a professional journalist instead you have followed in the footsteps of Jess Phillips you are an absolute disgrace to your profession and a total insult to anyone who has had they life impacted by this horrendous barbaric act of cruelty you are an absolute disgrace GB news by not talking immediately disciplinary action against one of your own journalists…

### 1/5 — Subjective

*2026-08-05, version 2.32.0*

Poor App. No way to contact support as to why you are suddenly blocked.

### 1/5 — Totally Biased

*2026-07-29, version 2.31.0*

Only reports news that the government wants them to report!  Anything that really matters to hard working class people is totally ignored!  It’s almost like a cult!  Awful and no one I know watches it any more!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-07-22, version 2.31.0*

The app along with the website is not user friendly and navigating around them is as clear as mud. Shockingly bad.

### 1/5 — Conversation

*2026-07-19, version 2.31.0*

Bring back the thumbs down

### 1/5 — Login issues

*2026-07-19, version 2.31.0*

Constantly having to Login again and also needing to change the password as the old one won’t work. This is really frustrating and time consuming.
Come on GBNews, get your act together.
Don’t lose me and many others to Sky News!

### 1/5 — Logs me out every other day

*2026-07-17, version 2.31.0*

App used to be ok. Now it logs me out and seemingly others too each time I open the app. And while reading the comments you shouldn’t have to scroll all the way to the top to go back to press the X first

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-12, version 2.32.0*

The only good news outlet in the uk right now always reporting the stories that everyone else to scared to talk about

### 5/5 — Front page of App

*2026-08-07, version 2.32.0*

I love this site but I think it’s time you updated the front page in the App Store as it’s still showing Starmer & Reeves

### 5/5 — Continually  locked out

*2026-07-30, version 2.31.0*

Tried o er & over to get into app changed password constantly still locked out.

### 5/5 — Cammy

*2026-07-19, version 2.31.0*

A proper counter-balance to the MSM left slanted reporting

### 5/5 — The new BBC

*2026-05-18, version 2.1.11*

Love this channel - my go-to for general news.

### 5/5 — Honest unlike the BBC

*2026-05-16, version 2.1.11*

Read the title.

### 5/5 — Baroness Moan

*2026-05-06, version 2.1.10*

Overseas Properties Why have the government said that Baroness Moan has had her property in the Algarve confiscated as part of the monies owed, when she owns several properties here in the Algarve and is still staying at the property in Quinta da Lago at San Lourenco, it’s something that should be investigated!!!

### 5/5 — Illegal boat  channel crossings

*2026-04-08, version 2.1.8*

These crossings are nothing but an invasion and as such would stop in their tracks if the boats are sunk as they cross into our waters. Obviously a few weeks warning would be given. I strongly believe such action would stop the illegal traffic - particularly so if there is a sinking.

### 5/5 — Remove commenting on news posts

*2026-04-02, version 2.1.8*

The comments are disgraceful full of hate, racism, homophobia 
I understand this is the channel for free speech but you’re allowing hate to boil over.
There is actually an ai thing that reviews comments but I’ve had lots of reviews and comments taken down for absolutely nothing. Maybe your ai is anti learning difficulties too because nothing I say is out of line. You can’t say anything without someone attacking you. Even your news stories stir hate against homophobia but classing all gays as left wing weirdo. There is a big difference 
Majority of LGB don’t agrees with the TQIA Palestine bit. Most of us are normal and want Britain British 
Just stop

### 5/5 — Ok But ……..Give Rupert Lowe airtime

*2026-03-22, version 2.1.8*

To be different to MSM, which is I joined you, and pay subs, you should be fair to Rupert Lowe. You are basically talking the same language. Good journalists should get to the heart of the matter.
