Comments on BBC World Service for Android

★★★★★ BBC app helps me stay connected with my long time and best broadcaster when traveling around the world...
★★★★★ Informative and succinct. I feel up to date with top world issues every day. Thank you!
★★★★★ Well, I honestly find this BBC App amazing, giving chances of listening to various programs live, including the previously broadcast ones. I find it, again, helpful, that I no longer have to on my radio to listen to BBC programs, but rather have it on my palm everywhere I go, by just having to on my phone's data, day or night. It's lovely. However, I wish in the coming time one will be able to watch the moving pictures of any live programs. Thank you! Ibrahim Adamu, Jigawa state, Nigeria.
★★★★★ At first, I downloaded this app for improving my listening english skill. Not only is it use ful for english learners, but also the news are contained much useful information.
★★☆☆☆ Not fully compatible with Android phone. Even after numerous request for help many functions of this update still do not function on Galaxy Android phone. Update 2/16/2025: Stream not available and help contact email is non-functional.
★★☆☆☆ This app have not any language. Only have English language.
★★☆☆☆ Can no longer stream live since 11th February 2025, and it's not due to anything I can think of.
★★☆☆☆ This app does not have text reports about the recent stories and news.
