Unfortunately when looking at the videos on landscape mode the picture doesn't fill the whole screen

This app works well on a LP velvet and they seem to update their news constantly and you can find things that are not posted on local news apps

News articles load slowly or don't load at all. The app would be great if they could fix this.

Notifications given but articles will not open. Save yourself the trouble and go to the website instead.

This app do have trackers which collect users information! Why you are saying that this app not collect any data from users. And also share with third party like Google, Twitter(Both companies tracker is in UN news) But Trusted News :)

Excellent so far... but for all the explanation icons beside options in that menu, they don't explain "Lighter mode." Will someone on staff please elaborate? Also, could you folks consider a "dark theme" toggle? Thank you and please keep up the good work.

This app is a great source of reliable news in multilingual format. However, there's an issue with switching languages on Android as of today. I hope they can fix it ASAP.

I used to read from this app every day, until it stopped working. I've already installed it and tried again but it still doesn't work. I miss reading the content.

Galaxy s10e since the last security update early may, app crashes on open. Reinstalled, cleared cache. Same issue. Emailed support. No reply in over 2 weeks.

Very cool. Updates and adding additional UN websites and information would be much appreciated. I personally don't know anyone else who visits UN websites (most honestly don't know anything about the UN), but I think creating apps is a good way to reach more people. Thank you.

This is an awesome app. I've also completed the Global Citizenship at University. The only problem that I see about the app is the video format as a video that I watch on the app opens to big and doesn't fit the screen so can't really see it. I guess all the videos are like this.

Since the last security update on my Android Galaxy S10e, this app crashes at load. There are loads of reviews stating the same and almost a month now and you've done nothing to coreect the issue which is obviously on your side. Sent feedback and no reply. Fix your app!

10/2024. Straightforward and free of pesky ads. This app is a great addition to the goal of having a small handful of diverse, trustworthy news outlets. If any 2 apps say exactly the same thing, one of them is unnecessary!

If you're an MUN delegate, this is the best app you'll ever download. Overall, the news coverage is amazing, and it definetly makes an incredible job placing all of the information together. This is the the most useful app if you want to stay in touch with the United Nations' inside, or simply with the most significant global events.

Much better than the BBC news app. I hardly ever look at the news due to so much going on. But at least we do know there is some hope. It would be useful to be able to select text in articles to be able to copy and paste. Also, making the app open source and fdroid would help further the UN news app.

The language switcher is bugged; the only languages I could get to work were English and Spanish. This creates a horrible user experience for users trying to access the app using any of the other "available" languages. Other than that, it does its job. Wish I could access the news in other languages though.

I really want to love this app. I absolutely love the UN and the work they do and was so excited to install this, but it doesn't work at all with my Samsung Galaxy S8. It just says, "news feed contains no entries" and whenever I reload displays an error message about a cache or something not being a directory. Please help! I've deleted and re-downloaded it a few times and no luck... It worked for a few minutes once, and I got notifications about 2 articles. But nothing now, + the error is back.
