8 of 25Do not like that for any good article I need to join and pay now
BBC has always been my past, present & hopefully future reliable source for latest world news.
The once great BBC is sadly now charging to read news on it’s app… <br/>What has become of the BBC..???!?!!!!
My phone keeps overheating with this app. It keeps dropping off and shutting down, fix and repair this app.
I often listen to podcasts or live radio, but recently the app cuts out after a few minutes. It says there’s no internet connection but there is. <br/>Also, I’ve not found any easy way to find a particular podcast.
So sad for one of the world’s greatest news sources to make you pay to read any article. I thought news suppression was supposed to be a horrible thing
BBC is consistently at the top of my list for news programs and sources.
Clicking on a notification shouldn’t take you to a web page within the app… couldn’t read the article because it had a log in pop up despite me being logged in the app. What a terrible experience.
