BBC News app review

Introduction

If there is a news story happening, developing, or has recently occurred, you'll find all the details on the BBC News app.

The app brings you all the top stories as well as the latest stories which can be found across the top of the screen. Tap on the Live Radio icon to listen to the news live and as it happens.

BBC News was updated on Dec. 10, 2012 and has 74 customer ratings with an average rating of three and a half out of five stars.

Because BBC News is such a trusted and reliable source for the news I really enjoyed being able to count on one app to find all the news items I wanted. I liked the interactive features like videos and found the pictures to be incredible looking. Hands down, this is one of the best iPad news apps out there.
