  • No Apple TV app

    The iPhone and iPad apps are good. The fact that there is no Apple TV app means I will cancel my subscription immediately. I can’t even cast documentaries to my Apple TV so basically pointless.
  • Subscription not recognized

    I pay for a subscription yet a known issue that the subscription is not recognized in the app makes the app completely unusable - the fact it’s known and STIlL is not fixed is not satisfactory. The idea what I should use the website instead defeats the purpose of what I pay for. Terrible - will be canceling if not rectified shortly. Customers with paid subscriptions dealing with this issue should be offered a refund.

    I signed up for a year and my account is active and yet I frequently and randomly get a notice that I can’t read articles because I not subscribed. I going to ask for a refund. I like BBC but they have now made it hard to use them for news.

    Please fix this app to recognize our paid subscriptions before we start asking Apple to refund us…

    BBC is a great platform for news. However, one is unable to log into their subscription. It continues to fail me after repeated attempts to log into my paid subscription.
  • App kicks out subscribers

    I paid for a subscription but the app now kicks me out and asks me to log in. Logging in doesn’t work - I have to delete the app and reinstall. This is the third time it’s happened to me, which is quite frustrating
  • Doesn’t recognize my subscription

    I pay for BBC but the app doesn’t recognize my subscription and blocks me from reading articles. It’s been like this for weeks and BBC doesn’t seem to care.
  • Access blocked despite having a subscription

    Same problem that others have reported. Access to news stories is denied despite having a subscription and I keep being asked to sign in again. Signing in doesn’t help, nor does restarting the app. Seems to be sporadic - it does work for a few days then the problem recurs. iPad OS 26.7.1, latest version of BBC News app.
  • Not free anymore

    It’s become paid service
  • Constantly have to sign in

    Despite having a paid subscription and being signed in, I repeatedly have to try to sign into the app to read articles. Many times, I still have an error stating that I need a subscription, and I’m unable to read the content.
