Since the update, having an account takes priority over functionality. I don't want an account and I don't want to be asked to make one every single time I open the app. Offline reading is also gone now. What's the point of having this app when its new design is such a turn off? After an additional update, the app now also refuses to respect orientation lock. I lock the phone to portrait mode but the app wants to be in landscape sometimes.

As a news agency, the BBC remains one of the most reliable sources worldwide, and that combined with the release of a dark mode are the only reasons this review isn't a single star. It's certainly the only reason I put up with this app. There are several changes to the app that didn't seem to need to happen, and user experience suffers for it. Hopefully, you sort it soon.

The BBC delivers fantastic worldwide news and I enjoy the coverage that's broader than most news apps. HOWEVER, with its app revision, I think the developers hate left-handed people because anytime I try to use my left hand to scroll and read, it instantly moves the story to the left and shows next story which is completely annoying. So far, I can not figure out how to fix it. I'm unable to adjust it with my scrolling or hand-gesture settings. Yes, I can use my right hand. Must I always?
