User Reviews

Users praise RFI’s trustworthy journalism and strong audio, but multiple reviewers report app crashes, broken or missing push notifications, intrusive full-page ads, and playback problems (stops/restarts). Several users also complain about limited language options. These issues are the most frequently mentioned despite generally positive feelings about the content.

Pros

Trusted RFI content — quality journalism and balanced reporting
Good audio/radio quality; professional-sounding broadcasts
Many users like the app and RFI brand (concise news/audio appreciated)

Cons

App instability and crashes (force closes when opening articles; fails on some devices/tablets)
Push/notification problems (notifications not delivered or persistent in notification area)
Intrusive and excessive ads, including full-page ad interstitials
Playback bugs: radio can stop unexpectedly, restart when returning to the app, and notification controls behave poorly
Limited language support — many users report mostly English and request other languages (e.g., Chinese, Kiswahili)

Bien pour les nouvelles d'Afrique francophone

"content not available offline" yeah, I'm online! Then it shows me full screen ads which I can't skip. Isn't this meant to be from the French public broadcaster? Embarrassing for them.
