| 2024-10-15 |  | | 10/2024. Straightforward and free of pesky ads. This app is a great addition to the goal of having a small handful of diverse, trustworthy news outlets. If any 2 apps say exactly the same thing, one of them is unnecessary! |
| 2024-07-19 |  | | Excellent so far... but for all the explanation icons beside options in that menu, they don't explain "Lighter mode." Will someone on staff please elaborate? Also, could you folks consider a "dark theme" toggle? Thank you and please keep up the good work. |
| 2024-05-29 |  | | Thank's! ❤️ to this App 😊👍 No AD'S 🥳🎉👏Keep on Update with More Needed Features, Stability and Performance. Auto Translation Language reading; PLEASE ADD " Filipino " to Philippines please 😊 |
| 2024-05-28 |  | | Launches, but won't load content. Has never worked. Too bad, cuz I really wanted a UN perspective. Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra, Android 14. |
| 2024-03-23 |  | | Most news is the repetition of news found elsewhere. UN News provides insights into international events not readily available on popular news channels. UN News is an essential instrument in acquiring a more complete picture of events occuring globally. Special attention is provided to occurences, votes and diplomacy occuring within the greatet UN structure and legislative bodies worldwide. Again, this is an essential tool for formulating a global perspective on world events as they occur. |
| 2023-10-11 |  | | Much better than the BBC news app. I hardly ever look at the news due to so much going on. But at least we do know there is some hope. It would be useful to be able to select text in articles to be able to copy and paste. Also, making the app open source and fdroid would help further the UN news app. |
| 2023-08-08 |  | | News articles load slowly or don't load at all. The app would be great if they could fix this. |
| 2023-07-10 |  | | The language switcher is bugged; the only languages I could get to work were English and Spanish. This creates a horrible user experience for users trying to access the app using any of the other "available" languages. Other than that, it does its job. Wish I could access the news in other languages though. |
| 2023-04-14 |  | | I really want to love this app. I absolutely love the UN and the work they do and was so excited to install this, but it doesn't work at all with my Samsung Galaxy S8. It just says, "news feed contains no entries" and whenever I reload displays an error message about a cache or something not being a directory. Please help! I've deleted and re-downloaded it a few times and no luck... It worked for a few minutes once, and I got notifications about 2 articles. But nothing now, + the error is back. |
| 2022-10-29 |  | | Very cool. Updates and adding additional UN websites and information would be much appreciated. I personally don't know anyone else who visits UN websites (most honestly don't know anything about the UN), but I think creating apps is a good way to reach more people. Thank you. |
