Glad its not CNN

This I a nice app, I would give it 4 stars if the stories were less exaggerated and 5 stars if it would leave out the opinions.

Difficult to Personalize

This review is a response to the app. I like AJ news. They do a good job. Everyone knows that no news is "unbiased" - and AJ is no exception. The app is difficult for me because it is cluttered and because it logs me off when I close the app. Every time I open the app I need to sign in again in order to find my stories, and its not worth it.

"Speak Screen" doesnt work

iPhones "Speak Screen" stops reading aloud every few paragraphs. I have to manually resume many times to finish an article. Moreover, its share button doesnt include TTS apps. AJEs website offer audio files but this doesnt. Those three strikes make this app difficult and unfriendly for the deaf and other speech-loving users to enjoy what AJE has to offer. I beg you to solve it asap. Thx.

Love AJE but...

No sound for any of their videos. I tried re-downloading and still no sound. I want to listen to their live broadcast but cannot.

News & videos

I read daily, gives understanding and attention to humanity matters that we can encourage our government leaders to stand up for justice. If I didnt have this app I would not have known about the wars and injustice to the innocent civilians. Our local CNN just stated showing real news, no that the election is over. I come to this AlJ app a few times a day. Its a moral compass of the world leaders.Thank you

Font control - NOT

For the most part the App works well. However the inability to change the font size and to rotate from landscape to portrait makes this only average at best. Really no font control, why not?

Good

Good app but somehow sound of videos doesnt work for my iPhone 5S

I like it!

I believe the world is too big to comprehend from one point of view. Having access to information from different outlets is crucial to form a more balance approach. This app does offer me a view form a good point of view. Thank you!

Best news source

AJ is a refreshing news source. Truth without flinching or bias. It views the world from an international perspective missing from US based media.

Great source of unbiased news

Dynamic news, easily accessible.

The Best

Go on

brainwashing

brainwashing!!!

AJ English

A really great professional and unbiased news site. The only gripe I have is that the coverage tends to be predominantly Middle Eastern. Richard Edwards

Worst than before!

The App is chaotic and not user friendly. I was expecting a better version than the previous one. :-(

News summary?

I like it that it is now possible to read the articles like on the pc, but where did the wonderfull news summary went? Or Is it just me, who cant find it?

AirPlay doesnt work properly

On the one hand I do very like the journalism of Al Jazeera and I prefer it to CNN or other English-speaking news because I consider it to be more objective and I appreciate the fact that there are barely advertisements during the program. On the other hand the app is unclearly structured and AirPlay streams only audio and no video to my Apple TV. The old version of the app had no problems to stream audio plus video. I think the German "Tagesschau" app is an example for a better structured news app. At the end five stars for the journalism, but only three for the app by itself.

Great update!

Really nice, thanks.

Sound error iPhone 4

There is no sound in the videos in the new version of the app. It doesnt work with iphone4. Please check it.

Very good

Reliable news, fresh and nice design.
