Al Jazeera America News App Reviews

Stupid!

Dont waste your time reading this crap.

Excellent news

Excellent news source!. Behind the news option really helps to understand context.

Not voiceover accessible

Unfortunately I am not even able to read the tutorials using the iOS screen reader voiceover.

Love app, but

Love the app because it is visually appealing but I cannot share the story. I want to share your stories but it only allows me to share the image and one that doesnt even link to the story.

Well done app

So far I like this app quite a bit. The interface is well done and I like the ability to see a more detailed explanation of the article without opening the whole thing. I also appreciate the broad coverage. I recommend it.

No Sharing or Saving

Great array of reliable news coverage that often doesnt get much media attention...but no way to save or bookmark articles to read later, and it is impossible to share articles or even save the link to an article. If these things were fixed it would definitely be a go-to app for broad, fact-based news coverage.

Best News Source

Al Jazeera America is hands down the best source for factual, non-sensational, serious, in-depth news on cable TV. App likewise is great but needs more streaming video content. Dont let name scare you...check it out news junkies!

Why Cant We Share Articles?

Love the user interface and the beautiful images, but I hate that the app will only share images to Facebook. I want my friends to see the articles!

Fantastic but...

First the good: The interface is clean and easy to navigate. Its my favorite news app UI. Suggested improvements: 1. In categories, instead of having just US and International, international should be divided into regions as it is for Al Jazeera English app. I like being able to browse all the stories from Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, etc. 2. Far too many opinion pieces compared to English app. Im looking for news, not editorializing. 3. Please add post-dates to each article And the frustrating: My news stories havent updated in six days or so. Just went to AJAs website and none of the stories on the home page have made it to my app yet. Argh. If this wasnt the case is give the app four stars.

Wont open

Either theres a glitch in the app, or the powers that be will not allow me to open the app

Wont Connect

I cant get this app to connect at the login screen.

Wont open

Used to work. Now it doesnt.

Use to be great

Now it dont work

Removed swipe to behind the story

Very disappointing, they removed the best feature of the app which allowed you to quickly scan the story before opening. They removed what made the app really unique among news apps. Now its just run of the mill

Bring Back Story Summaries

The ability to glance at a story summary by swiping from the right was one of the best features. Please bring it back. Now I often will just skip over a story altogether because Im frusted by not being able to see a summary.

Horrible app

I cant see a summary of what the story is about. The reports are untruthful, biased and in most cases out right lies. I have to scroll to find articles I am interested in reading and it may be a long way through. Deleted this app. I will go back to my Fox News app.

Push notifications

Would love a push notifications feature like my other breaking news apps with banners of new articles, and the previous version with the ability to scan articles before clicking full screen.

What happened?

Used to be a favorite with good journalism and creative mobile app, Now just buggy! What happened to audio? Tutorial doesnt work. Etc Bring back old team!

Great

Covers a lot that major American media ignores. Does so in a balanced manner. Dont get it, though, if you want to keep your narrow perspective.

No video stream?

A glitzy app but limited. Why no streaming? France 24, DW, RT, and Press TV all do. I much prefer Al Jazeera English over Al Jazeera America. But we cant even stream that in the US anymore.
