BBC World Service for Positive User Reviews
✓ B B B World NewdI find your app the must accurate and far reaching service available. Most of the US news is provincial and biased and directs the American public to their way of thinking. Most US news is opinion not fact . Just one persons opinion. R. D. CALVERLEY.Version: 4.10.5

✓ BBC video serviceBBC is arguably the world’s best news service, with truly global coverage. I am disappointed that as a Canadian I can not access the BBC Video wold news service unless I have a cable supplier. I wish I could purchase an online subscription to BBC Video without having to purchase a Canadian cable package which has (to be polite) very little intelligent content, and is largely a waste of time and money ..Version: 4.10.5

✓ The station makes you a citizen of the worldLiving in regional Australia radio options aren’t excellent; the world service provides insightful documentaries and comprehensive news updates from around the world; Listening to the world service genuinely makes one feel like a citizen of the world regardless of where you live, we are all connected as society thanks to the world service..Version: 4.10.5
✓ Intelligent ObjectivityThis is the only AM radio service in Australia that operates overnight and makes one feel like a world citizen.

The only broadcasts which I dread relate to English Soccer games..Version: 4.10.5

✓ Comment on news qualityAlways clear, always to the point, ALMOST always unbiased, EXCEPT when it concerns Gaza-Israel war: bias towards Israel, overlooking some the humanitarian scandal, disaster and genocidal qualities on the Israeli side: NOT BECOMING OF THE BBC’s reputation of being objective, two-sided and fair. WATCH YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS! This disaster was 75 years in the making, you all know it, and you have the responsibility to remind the audiences..Version: 4.10.14

✓ Interesting, thought provoking, expandingThe content will expand your universe. Meet the people in the news, look into other cultures, grow and learn..Version: 4.10.14
✓ Sound issuesWhy does the radio not continue playing after minimizing the app. Continuing to listen to the radio player while actively reading or doing other task. The radio player just stops as soon as some other task is done on the device. It should continue playing whatever the listener is listening to. Unless it’s paused or stopped. What fails. Does the player version need to be updated..Version: 4.10.1
✓ The app is too fragile to interferenceMy bbc world service constantly stops due to ads and other random interference it is my only global news service app with these weaknesses. please fix it. i expect better from the bbc.Version: 4.10.9

✓ If your bored of the BBC, your bored of Life.One can find some topic always of interest at the BBC. One can learn an abundance of new knowledge from all walks of life. And one can also either read between the lines of the newsreaders, experts and other BBC quested guest or dissect the words, chosen vocabulary and the ifs. All cleverly and softly spoken to hear what really is, as we know, what the BBC can beem around the world, what really can be, ‘soft propaganda’.Version: 4.10.10
✓ Thanks, but can you please...I live in Africa, and am very grateful for this app on long car trips. I listen and learn, instead of stressing about the traffic! It would be that much better if I could add the app icon to Car Play so that I don't have to fiddle with my phone. Please add this feature..Version: 4.10.11
✓ BBC is the best!!👍I have been listening since I was a teenager in 1973, back then in all of East Africa we only trusted the BBC as unbiased and credible Any way we were news buffs and curious about world events and crises!
