Comments about BBC: World News & Stories Android Version
The new layout is awful, looks like it was designed by someone in the marketing/advertising department instead of an experienced UX designer. The list of topics has disappeared, there's no longer the ability to choose what you want to read, the spacing is wasteful. Please revert to the previous version while you sort out the problems. Now open it once a day instead of multiple times and force stop it after closing because there's so much tracking. Not updating the Sport app.
Why does every redesign seem another step backwards. I love BBC news as it's one of the few places to get news without it being left or right. But all of the news apps seem obsessed with visuals and have to constantly evolve. I don't need nor want a glitzy interface. I don't need to see a stock photo of an airplane in order to read about an item in aviation for example. That was fine in kindergarten but as an adult you don't need an image with every article.
I made the mistake of updating the app after having been thoroughly satisfied with the features in the earlier versions. Now, it has almost none of its previous capabilities. For example, I can't tailor content to my interests. Unless the older version is restored, I will probably discontinue my use of it after MANY years of it being my main source of high-quality, verified online news.
