★★★★★
Good app Nice to read with, and responsive so pleasant to use. I prefer the content of the main BBC news app however.
★★★★★
Great app Really simple to use, great at keeping up with entertainment and music news
★★★★★
Loving this app, it has a nice tidy design, but a bit more content would be nice.
★★★★★
Looks really good About time radio 1 released this app and so far looks pretty good to use and not just boring news. hopefully lots of downloads to come for it
★★☆☆☆
Dumbed down The user interface is good, much much better than the BBC news app. It's a shame the content is biased to celeb and novelty items. Many 16 to 24 year olds are interested in UK and world news and current affairs.

The most un impartial news company BBC are the most un impartial news outlet in the UK, Chris Smith is the worst news reader ever. They are constantly talking about ISIS, bombs going off, black/dark skinned people who have been put in jail because of offences they have committed. They NEVER mention how messed up the Euro is, or the ridiculous laws the tories bring in, where is the TTIP/TTP ?!?!?! How come we never hear about this but other news outlets like RT and The Guardian report on, if you want real news download the RT & guardian app.
