Nope, sorry - I just can't see the point. Main BBC news app is all you need.

the app is user friendly and has a sleek feel, but the content is boring and seems to be based on celebs or lifestyle pieces. for now the main bbc news app is still the best go-to for bitesize news.

BBC are the most un impartial news outlet in the UK, Chris Smith is the worst news reader ever. They are constantly talking about ISIS, bombs going off, black/dark skinned people who have been put in jail because of offences they have committed. They NEVER mention how messed up the Euro is, or the ridiculous laws the tories bring in, where is the TTIP/TTP ?!?!?! How come we never hear about this but other news outlets like RT and The Guardian report on, if you want real news download the RT & guardian app.

The user interface is good, much much better than the BBC news app. It's a shame the content is biased to celeb and novelty items. Many 16 to 24 year olds are interested in UK and world news and current affairs.

Loving this app, it has a nice tidy design, but a bit more content would be nice.
