User Reviews

Overall, users praise The National app for timely news, a clean design, and ease of use, with a broad range of topics and features like audio. The drawbacks cited are scattered and not consistently reported across reviews, including readability/typography issues, bookmarking and layout frustrations, sporadic push notification problems, and increased data use after recent UI changes. The app is viewed as current and useful, but these UX and performance glitches are the main areas for improvement.

Pros

Up-to-date/current UAE and world news coverage
Easy to use interface with fast performance and good design
Broad range of topics and fresh perspectives
Audio assistance for accessibility
Useful for English language learners / improving English

Cons

Recent reviews

If some native speaker of English recommends the National to you to improve & boost your English; and favors it to the Gulf News English daily, what else could you just wish for if you have a passion for English language?! Rhetorical question!!! __ Omar Ibrahim Moh'd Attiyeh Jordanian in Abu Dhabi UAE. Mon. 5/5/25@ 01:50pm. ❤️👍🎉

Great World News.

I very much appreciate the National and keeping updated om UAE news and information, however I've been struggling a lot lately with the typeface for news stories that is virtually impossible to focus on or easily read. I'm about to abandon this app, but I hope it can be updated to a new font soon.
