★★★★★
I barely use since the widget is gone. Seeing headlines made me think to open it. I want the widget back please
★★★★★
Works as expected. I can't give the 5th ⭐ because there's no Cast icon available to cast the mobile contents to Chromecast HDMI device plugged into my TV set.
★★★★★
I've used the BBC app for about a decade, it's quality content. I understand the need to refresh the app (workflow, layout) about a year or two ago and got accustomed to it. My biggest frustration has been the lack of offline support. In the past, I've launched the app, waited for content to load and was able to read individual articles/news esp. those I accessed previously. Sadly, my usage has reduced dramatically since I read most during subway commutes.
★★☆☆☆
New layout is beyond awful. No way to filter out the news I want, no way to subscribe to topics I'm interested in. The old version is much better.
★★☆☆☆
Had survived the removal of the Widget and My News by reverting to version 5.23.1 thanks to apkpure. However, BBC has now removed the news refresh to it, so it's stuck on Feb 19. Have thus installed this garbage version but only for the news notifications - otherwise not using the app. Hopefully the next update will bring the old design back, but I doubt it. Don't let the 3.8* rating fool you - that's the average over many years - the current version's average is just over 1, the lowest it can be!
