User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: many applaud the clean design, official status, and improved navigation, with smoother performance reported by some. But frequent loading failures, notification bugs, and device-compatibility issues (screen-size formatting, orientation, and iPad behavior) dominate negative feedback. Users also complain about not resuming where they left off and concerns about biased reporting. Improvements in reliability and consistency across devices would significantly improve the app's usefulness as a primary UN news source.

Pros

Clean, modern design and a clean interface.
Improved navigation and smarter search to find stories by topic and region.
Official United Nations news source; reliable primary source for international news.
Smoother performance and improved responsiveness.

Cons

Frequent loading failures; stories won’t load and downloads show errors.
Notifications are excessive and sometimes broken or not updating after updates.
Poor device compatibility and UI issues on newer iPhones/iPads (screen size formatting, orientation support, unpressable top article).
Doesn't resume where you left off when you leave the app.
Perceived bias in reporting, with limited critical coverage of certain topics.

Recent reviews
