I cannot have the direct anymore.... Don’t know what happened, I cannot have the news channel either in french or english. This was before and after updating the app. And the new data protection gimmick is a real pain: it’s necessary to do it each time!!!

Getting worse. I have been using this app for at least 5 years. It is getting worse than ever before. First the full screen add that you cannot bypass then I cannot find the feed for live news. French being my native language I prefer the French version, however it always start in the English version. If I try to switch to the French version it closes and I can’t get it back to work again. After reading all the negative reviews about that App, I wonder if anyone is listening, looks like they dont care. Too bad

Bookmarks. Enabling the bookmarking of articles will get the 5th star from me.

Unusable: full screen ads can’t be dismissed. There is no literally way to use this app now. I start up the app and get a full screen ad. There’s no button available to dismiss it. It doesn’t go away whether you wait 15 seconds or 15 minutes. Clicking on the ad doesn’t get you France 24 content — it just takes you to an ad page. It doesn’t subsequently unlock France 24 content. Clicking on the “App Support” link on the app’s App Store page? Takes you to a “404 - page not found” web page.

Major stability problems on iphone& ipad. Ive been a deducated and appreciative watcher of France24 for several years which I have always considered this the best news app available. . In the last year or so the app crashes, freezes and will not restart. It will not run after having deleted the app and downloaded it repeatedly from the Apple App store. This happens both on iphone12 and iPad. Are you aware of this problem? Thank you.

Great content, but…. I really enjoy the news as presented in FRANCE 24. I just can’t abide the app turning upside down or sideways on my iPads. The only device it works on is my iPhone. The whole experience is ruined by this kind of app behavior. What is even more troublesome is the inability of the technical people at FRANCE 24 to address the issue after several years of it.

Everything Is Upsidedown. I do like the app but starting about 7 months ago each time I open it, it immediately turns upside down. I have deleted it and then reinstalled it but it still does the same thing. Even after several updates, it is so annoying. I rarely open this app anymore.

Great news but way too much advertising. First off news is great. But full screen advertisements for con artist companies that you have to watch ruin it. I know they need to make a profit but it really cheapens the delivery.

Not waiting though startup ads. The app content is pretty good for international and European news. Over the last months these full screen ads we have to sit through have gotten ridiculous. The ones this week at over 30 seconds long, and that’s before I can even access content. I’m not sitting though that junk just to read the news. Goodbye France24 for now.

Languages limited by geography (AppleTV). On the AppleTV app, why are the French and the Arabic settings blocked in the U.S.? On the iPad app and on the web I can watch France24 in French, but for some reason the French station is blocked in the AppleTV app. Until that’s fixed, the app has little value for me.

Bugs after update. The icon for this app disappeared after I updated last. Some generic weird icon appears on my homescreen. Ihave uninstalled and installed several times and it does not get fixed. Please fix it

Unusable. I keep this app only for push notifications. There are way too many invasive advertisements for the app to be usable.

The Other Side. I have followed France24 since the Terrorist incidents several years ago. I’m impressed with their coverage and offer that second-look so many state side news agencies miss.

Terrible quality. Quality so horrible. Voice and image breaking up all the time. Hey France 24, put your act together, fire your IT team and have people who know what they are doing

Doesn’t open, had to trash it.. Repeatedly refused to open. Press icon, screen returns to my home screen. Plenty of space on phone, no other app (including RAI and Times of India) has ever done this. En somme, vot’ bidule ne marche pas…

No full screen view?. According to this app’s programmers, the iPad Pro’s browser (Safari) doesn’t support full screen view. It did until a few weeks ago and still does with other apps... The lack of quality control is astounding.

Unwatchable. App is unwatchable It has been taken over by advertising which is lengthy and annoying I love the news and programming but sorry the video advertising is most annoying

Looking for news about Europe.. This app mostly has news about the USA.

Now garbage. Use to love this app and being able to get international news. Last update, they removed the widget and within app keep popping advertisements!! Useless! Utter garbage now. Bring back the widget!!

Unusable. This app requires you look at a piece of advertising for 5 seconds when you launch it. The ad does not go away even when pressing what appears to be a “close” button. So annoying

Probably the worse app I have used. A pretty bad app all around. The news are good though, and to the point, except for some analysts that have a twisted understanding of the world outside France and very strong opinions. I use the French version.

Poor UI for Tablet. The app only appears in landscape, whereas most news apps provide either landscape or portrait depending on how you hold the tablet. The latest version of the app presents landscape initially the correct way, then mysteriously inverts the landscape upside down forcing the user to flip the tablet around. Not a very friendly user interface.

Excellent news source, but…. …but when opening the app they first block access with an ad. They use a combination of delays and changing/obscure buttons which require multiple attempts - making it difficult to get past the ad without getting redirected to whatever they are selling, which is always crap. It’s annoying and sleazy.

Full-screen ads. When I’m trying to read news, having the experience blocked by a full-screen, unclosable, unakippable advertisement is frustrating. I’ve given up on this app because of those.

No more video news?. With the new update the journal is not visible any more. No more sliding upwards for live news or the journal. Pity!

Very very buggy. Only works some of the time. Extremely buggy. Obviously nobody there is bothering to test their app before publishing

Inability to Chromecast.. That one cannot Chromecast en direct from this app makes it rather useless in 2021. If Chromecasting was enabled, I would use this app frequently. Currently I rarely use it.

Although good European and French news coverage - poor use of screen space. Other than delivering the news, the next most important feature for an app is efficient use of screen space. Phones don’t have a lot of room to read so it’s important for application developers to do everything they can to reduce the size of fixed buttons and banners and use pull-down menus for navigation. Not everyone is a bonehead snap-chatting millennial stuck in portrait mode. In the news thread mode, the “watch live” play button takes 20% of the screen space. After considering the wasted space elsewhere I feel like I’m reading with a screen the size of a ‘90s flip phone.

Needs Improvement. I use this app often but it needs a design revamp. It’s clunky and cramped. The videos don’t play in the background when you minimize the app. You also cannot play the videos in the background while looking at something else inside the app. Also: PLEASE update the news thread so it doesn’t snap back to the top of the thread every time you exit an article. So incredibly frustrating and annoying.

It’s ok. Have loved having this app. But can’t filter notifications be subject. You get notified about everything. Even if you don’t cate.

Great news feed. Terrible app. France 24 provides up to the hour news about France and Europe. It often has in depth stories about relatively under reported topics, notably African issues. The app and streaming are poorer quality than the content. The live video feed is often interrupted or fails completely. Some of this is intentional — the channel stops feeding live video to display a static splash page. A lot of it is just bad UX design. Others have noted that the app quality is poor and it has remained this way despite complaints — a typical Gallic shrug to viewers from this otherwise useful news source.

Upside Down. This app opens upside down and does not correct when turning the iPad. When I try to go to App Support, it takes me to France 24 but gives a 404 Error page.

Great - but needing gender equality. Great program, but they should really ensure equal representation of women in third experts and correspondence. Today’s show looked at Texas/women’s reproductive health and Afghanistan/women activists, with 4 men analysing. I have higher expectations of you, France 24.

Very Good News App. The most important of this very good news app is the free opportunity to improve your French knowledge as you can switch the languages. The app is very informative and covers a wide array of different subjects and areas.

Not for iPad - no portrait rotation. In this modern age one would think this app would know how an iPad works....this one doesn’t rotate to the portrait view...like that is hard to do? All serious apps can rotate to all views when iPad is used in different positions...just an example of the lack of detail and care for the users ...not the best effort here...

Great app - Apple TV coming?. I use this all the time for live streaming. I would love that option for Apple TV so I can watch my morning news on it. Any chance that will come soon?

Bad advertising. Going to delete app based on advertising taking the whole screen, far too obtrusive, other news apps don’t use this annoying practice.

Full screen ads. Good news app but full screen invasive advertisements!

Tv app overlays 2 different audio tracks⚠️. It streams 2 separate audio tracks over each other. Very odd. Not watchable since you have people talking over what is happening on the screen. Other than that, a great way to watch European news 👍👍 and also USA news.

Language restricted. It seems in the us I can only watch the English and Spanish version. I think you guys missed the bar by restricting language the news is broadcasted in. It is available online on your site for free. Why in the world would you restrict in the app? Languages supported list all 4 languages but only two are available to me in the USA. This is a little misleading. Would like to listen in French. Think about this for a second. I will come back if unlocked but I have too many alternatives in English already to keep this app

Normand. I enjoy watching this station on Sunday morning when I feet up at 4:00 am and watch to world news and watching French movies etc

I love this app but the last update. So I’ve been using the France24 app for years and love it. I watch the news via the app every night. The last (Sep/Oct) update messed up the app (on IPad Pro 12.9) and the format bad. Once its fixed, it’ll be my favorite app again!

New version 5.7.9 (Jun 2023) crashes. It’s impossible to watch video. The app launches a full screen ad that never goes away. App is now useless

Not so France. Kind of sad to be in your app and having the feeling to be no where, nothing sparkling, sorry! Not to speak about sport…

Useless crap…. Once a great news source, now overrun with ads, and structured by dictates of the US cable industry. I no longer even bother to open the app!

Terrible ads. Full length ads pop up frequently and there’s no way to skip them. I spent more time watching ads than reading news. Stay away, deleted

Hoping for France 24 on Apple TV. The app works especially well on my iPad Pro. We had to use screen mirror to watch on Apple TV. Otherwise, the broadcast presentation is timely, credible, solid and informative.

Useless. At the moment, it’s useless because a full screen ad opens every time I launch the app and cannot be dismissed. They really need to review the ads they allow their ad service to push. I’ve seen some annoying and intrusive advertisements on apps but this one takes the cake.

Good redesign. The last redesign update make this all useful again. I can finally use the app on a daily basis. The only Annoying thing is the pop up ads which takes the full screen

Downgrade. This went from a easy to use app to a incomprehensible and difficult app. Start again with your redesign. The logic of finding where to watch the live news (the core of France 24) was difficult to make sense of.

Great app concise content. Great news app, focused and informative content with good links to follow up. Observers is very informative and an effective way to curate 'observer' content. Highly recommend

Not much features and low video quality. And no AirPlay compatibility.

L'appli France 24. It is pretty well useless on an iPad as it freezes consistently and then just stops working. It used to work reasonably well until I upgraded to 8.1.3 I don't recommend it to you. Shame! As France 24 itself is very good. Il ne marche plus depuis la mise en jour pour 8.1.3

Hopeless, crashes all the time.. Frustrating.

Fix. No audio and no cast option, please fix its been awhile!

Forced ads. The forced ads upon opening makes this app very unattractive. This pre condition means this app is not appealing and seldom opened

Crashing!. Downloaded this morning and tried clicking on French, but all it does is crash!

Mr. Hopeless, can't turn to French

Where’s the audio only?. Not everyone wants to watch streaming video!

Live streaming news gone??. Can't find live streaming news in the latest version.

Bug. Great content but displays upside down on iPad :(

Problems. Can not open anymore after update! When will you guys fix it?

Keep working on it. The idea is great but the video stops halfway and I have never successfully watched the entire news without a problem... Keep working on it.

Needs work. The app worked great about 3 months ago. The latest updates however have caused the app to repeatedly crash on my iPhone 6.

Broke the live stream functionality. There is no audio only mode or pause and play button

Error. The app goes square on Apple TV and expands

Pas de son. Great small app, packed with bits and pieces. New slick look. Am enjoying this app very much.

C'est fantastique. J'aime.

Fav. Updated the app now can’t get live tv !!!!!

Apps keeps buffering even on strong wifi. Since the recent iOS update it is pretty much impossible to use the app. It keeps buffering even on very strong wifi or LTE.

Je suis au Québec et j’ai la version française. Une bénédiction pour moi qui me désolais d’avoir si peu de nouvelles internationales.

Deleted the app. This deserves NO STARS. I could not understand the bad reviews until I made the mistake of updating it only to find the live news connection is gone and the pre-recorded sessions freeze or start with audio and no video. A WASTE OF OUR TIME👿 I hope you fired the twit that did this...

Great App with One Problem. This is a GREAT app, but it has one problem: France 24 is a legitimate, serious news agency, yet the pop-up links at the bottom of the screen to “news” sites of questionable legitimacy detract from the seriousness of France 24’s journalism.

Chaîne n est pas indépendante. Diffuse des informations incorrectes

France24 (upside down). My 3rd Gen iPad Pro 12.9” shows your “France24” screen upside down, no matter if the screen lock switch is on or off. Needs fixing badly.

Not iOS 7 compatible. Crashed on ios7

Plus d'option audio seulement. L'application fonctionne bien. Seulement depuis la dernière mise à jour, l'option audio seulement sur le direct a disparu. Dommage c'était une option très pratique.

Plante au démarrage. Je suis vraiment déçu ... Impossible de la lancer sur mon ipad 2ème génération . Je supprime tout de suite.

Fantastic App. Absolutely love this app. Great live video quality and it also goes to full screen mode. Some folks seem to have issues switching to French which I haven't tried but in English it works perfectly! Highly recommend it....

I like France24 (5 stars) but app needs live channel. I’d like a live channel added to the iOS app, similar to the TVOS on apple tv that said I’d also like the English programming to be extended to include more live feeds to reduce the repetition. Good interesting debates and great reporters on this channel far more interesting than BBC News 24 but please more of it.

Damn. This was good until a couple weeks ago, crashes every time now, please fix

Best channel France 24. You are the best channel who spreads equality , integrity and tells us the truth ! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

France 24: une information pertinente et bien documentée.. France 24 constitue certainement un des meilleurs médias, non seulement de la francophonie, mais dans le monde. Les médias canadiens et québécois devraient s’en inspirer. Un lecteur assidu du Québec

Je l’essai à l’occasion mais « 0 » améliorations. Pas facile de vouloir soutenir un media francophone de la France quand l’app ne propose pas le français au CANADA, CANADA, CANADA !!! 👏 Ouffff !!! Un peu déconcertant , ou plutôt une négligence sévère dans la gestion des communications avec Apple. Alignez vos efforts de façon plus constructives pour y remédier svp. Je vous communique malgré tout mes felicitations pour la qualité des reportages , des reporteurs, des sujets et invités… là ou je suis en mesure de pouvoir m’en imprégné.

Audio and visual problems. For some reason I cannot view video in full screen. The app will crash and then crash again before I can even play video. Great reads on the app, but I wish there was a category for America’s and one solely for USA - American content clogs this section of the app

De pire en pire. L'ancienne application de France 24 était géniale. Cette nouvelle application est un ramassis de bogues. En plus, elle se dégrade de plus en plus avec le temps. Maintenant, avec la dernière mise à jour, quand je l'ouvre sur mon iPhone 5 (iOS 7), j'ai simplement un écran publicitaire et je ne peux aller plus loin. Ne perdez pas votre temps à télécharger cette application. Ça ne vaut rien. C'est juste une source de frustration sans intérêt. C'est dommage qu'une chaîne comme France 24 air une application digne d'un débutant.

Excellent App in 4 languages. Excellent App the watch the news at anytime and other very interesting documentaries. There is a choice of 4 languages, French, English, Spanish and Arabic. Just click on the 3 horizontal lines on the top left corner (beside the France24 logo) to switch the language. Excellente application pour regarder les actualités à tout moment et d'autres documentaires très intéressants. Vous pouvez choisir entre 4 langues : français, anglais, espagnol et arabe. Il suffit de cliquer sur les 3 lignes horizontales dans le coin supérieur gauche (à côté du logo de France24) pour changer de langue. Excelente aplicación para ver las noticias en cualquier momento y otros documentales muy interesantes. Se puede elegir entre 4 idiomas: francés, inglés, español y árabe. Sólo tienes que pulsar en las 3 líneas horizontales de la esquina superior izquierda (junto al logo de France24) para cambiar de idioma.

Regarder dans l’application France 24. J’aimerais pouvoir tourner mon iPad à la verticale pour lire dans France 24 et regarder des vidéos mieux imbriqués dans une application avec une interface plus stylisée.

Unusable due to constant pop-up ads. This used to be a handy and usefull app but since several weeks ago the constant (and annoying) pop-up ads make it virtually unusable.

Zero. Ne fonctionne plus ou presque depuis la dernière mise à jour.

Problem when switching to french. When switching to french the app crashes. I use an iphone5. Please fix bug. That will make the diff btween a 4 and a 1 star. Tk you.

Pas de français!. Au Canada, sur AppleTV, la lange française n’est pas disponible dans ma région, mais l’espagnol oui. Que-ce qui se passe?

Bug au niveau du journal. Lorsqu’on tente de regarder le journal de la journée ,l’application se plante bien souvent

Chaîne française. Je suis au Québec et je suis incapable d’avoir France 24 en français. La seule langue que j’ai est l’anglais. Incapable de sélectionner le français. Pas agréable du tout😡

Catastrophique. Cette application est d'un niveau très bas, je n'ai jamais vu un application qui beug aussi souvent! La moindre des choses serait d'arranger cela rien que pour le respect des utilisateurs.

V2.4: crash à toute les fois. au moment où l'on change la langue pour le français. Ce qui rend cette application impossible à utiliser en langue française sur le iPod touch 5.

France 24 viewer. Was good but recently crashes every time rendering it useless. Shame! Do not download

Excellente application. Excellente application fonctionne bien, très peu de bug. La résolution est bonne (HD). Je la recommande à tous ceux qui veulent la télé live sur le net et ceux qui aiment les nouvelles en vidéo.

Ad based app. I recently downloaded this app and was never able to see any news from the amount of ads as soon as you launch the app!!!

Unusable. Trop de bogues, impossible de regarder en direct ou les JT. Ne pas telecharger, peut etre attender le prochain mise a jour. Unusable

Ne fonctionne pas sur Ipad. Cette appli ne fonctionne plus sur Ipad. Je suis au Canada et impossible d'ouvrir l'appli depuis que je l'ai mise à jour. Pour un site ouvert à l'international, c'est vraiment pas cool.

Sadly does not work!. It's unfortunate to see a news power house like France24 releasing a useless app like this!

Great app. Très bonne application. Seul bémol, il est compliqué de quitter le mode plein écran du live de france24 sur mon ipad pour revenir à l'ecran d'accueil de l'application; Obligé de sortir de l'application et de la relancer. Merci de régler ce léger détail. A part ca, l'application est vraiment très utile!

Its very bad app. Very bad app

The cake is a lie.. The app's description claims there is Chromecast compatibility. There is not. Also, I can't figure out how to switch between France 24 English and French services. What a world-class news organization; what a disappointment of an app. :(

France 24, mais pas en français.... France 24 sur Apple TV n’est pas disponible en français dans ma région... pathétique

Version du 16 oct 2019. La nouvelle version de votre apps est nulle. On ne peut plus écouter les nouvelles comme avant. On veut pouvoir accéder au télé journal facilement et ne pas chercher une demie heure dans l’apps. Très déçu de cette nouvelle version... et remettez aussi le journal des sports et de l’économie comme avant svp !

Version désastreuse. Je suis un fan de France 24 depuis des années. À ma grande surprise la dernière version est un désastre. On ne trouve plus le dernier journal, le paris des arts comme toutes les émissions listées dans la section “Émissions e de à á z” ne marchent pas du tout. Et même les rares vidéos qui au début semblent marcher sont bloquées et tournent en ron d sans pouvoir se charger vraiment. Ne faites pas de mises à jour si elles ne sont pas bien testées s’il vous plaît. Surtout que sur iOS on ne peut pas revenir en arrière. Je suis obligé de changer de canal d’information. Dommage pour moi.

Apple TV - Français non disponible au Québec. Pas possible de mettre l’App en Français sur Apple TV depuis le Québec…

France 24. I have used France 24 on my computer since it's inception but this app is a problem, the video just will not play smoothly, just stops and freezes. Please fix then it will be my prime news source.

Keeps crashing. Cannot switch languages! Please fix!!

Articles pas compatibles ios 7. Depuis cette version (très agréable sur mon iPad iOS 10) je ne peux plus lire de nouveaux articles sur mon iPhone ios 7. Très élitiste pour la chaine mondiale de la francophonie de ne plus être compatible avec les téléphones d'il y a 3 ans.

Why only in English ?. I am in Canada where French is an official language so why can’t I get France 24 en francais on my Apple TV? All the more strange if I go into YouTube on my Apple TV I can watch France 24 in French there! Please fixVery frustrating!

do not update to version 3.2. ADS.. garbage update. every section of the videos has a mandatory 30 second advertisement video. every time you click ANY video feed, 30 seconds forced ad. terrible.

Impossible de lire à cause du trop grand nombre de pubs !!!. Impossible de lire à cause du trop grand nombre de pubs !!! J’efface et je me tourne vers une autre app.

Displays upside down. Update: It’ getting worse. It still rotates upside down plus now you get full screen ads so you can’t read the news. I do not recommend this news app. I use my iPad in landscape mode. Whenever I start France24 the app opens upside down. I’ve shared bug reports with them and it has not been fixed after several updates. It is annoying to use.

Georges. La page du paramètre en ouvrant l’application est figée et rien à faire

Pourquoi les videos sont dans un aussi petit format ?. Full screen please !

Corriger un bogue pour en créer d'autres…. Ce qui est probablement une des meilleurs chaînes d'information et de contenu français est devenue un cauchemar si on l'utilise depuis la dernière mise à jour avec Apple TV. En effet, L'application ne maintient pas le iPhone actif ce qui fait que toutes les minutes et demie il faut que je réactive mon Smartphone pour maintenir la diffusion. N'eut été de ce dernier bogue, la chaîne mériterai plus d'étoiles.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Noisy, loud auto-launching ads.. Obnoxious, loud, automatic ads. No respect for the user. Cannot scan headlines without inconsiderate noise to those around me. I have deleted this app.

The best news app ever!. The best app for live-TV! I mean real TV and not some phony internet based news stream. In 3G case live feed could get tricky, but if you are getting a decent wifi, then your iPad could serve as a real kitchen or desk tv set. Great job!

Apple TV app. Apple TV app please. I’m tired of having to airplay France 24 from my iPad.

Tres bien - mostly. 1. Sometimes there are problems with streaming. 2. I had to turn Alerts off. (a) Alerts still sound even when sound is turned off, and (b) Alerts hang up my phone if I'm having a conversation.

Apple TV, please!. Nice app. Can you add Apple TV support?

Not improved. The previous versions were more stable and more useful. It would have gotten 4 stars. The new version crashes more now, about once a day. Certainly it is more beautiful and smooth. Is it a case of beauty before function? Also they appear to no longer using the iOS interface for their videos, hence the loss of functionality. As a fellow developer I'd recommend that standard APIs be used for ease of use for the user, and for future proofing you app.

Badge Alert. I love this app and all the great content. However, I will say I do not like the new alert tone. I get it confused with my text alert. I really liked the old tone because it was distinguished and unique. I always knew it was France 24 when I heard the 'CIA' Alert.

Useless ap.. Downloaded and got bombarded with adds. Deleted immediately. Piece of sh**

Good before the pop-up push notifications. Downloaded this app and enjoyed it until they started the pop-up push news notifications. Some of the notifications were hours late, and others were so trivial that they just became annoying. The notifications forced you to look at whatever breaking news was happening before you could make a phone call, etc. The app has since been installed from my phone.

Why block French?. Why is French blocked in the USA on the Apple TV?

Advertisement Right from the Start. Upon opening App, there is Advertisement Blocking the View, Cannot even Navigate the App, Rediculous..! Fix It or Your App will Perish..!!

intrusive ads. disappointing given that it’s a public service…

Nice app. I currently like the current version, I should say that I'm only watching it in French. I like the availability of it's being able to AirPlay on my Apple TV. It gives me great perspective of news from the other side of the world and a great replacement for other news channels that I only get to in the USA.

Excellent App. Excellent app and amazing news services! News are well organized in categories and the app has several useful resources such as a clickable world map with the news. News in English, French and Arabic. Very intelligent use of multimedia, this app is much more than a simple news aggregator. The contents have a good size and are of impressive quality. Compared to similar apps, this is surely among the best ones. On top of all, the app and the service are free.

The app opens Upside Down -always,-. No Fix. Rarely use due to having to flip new giant iPad M1 12.9” Pro. Maybe it’s a French thing….

New version simply not working - UPGRADE AT OWN RISK. As another reviewer wrote, the new version has clearly not been tested well. My wifi iPad can no longer stream videos. The app just crashes 50% of the time, and I cannot watch the French news any longer, I assume because the app is now "smart" and knows I live in California. A huge downgrade from the last version. Dommage... This was an excellent app that I used every day before. I wish I could revert to the old version.

Good app with flaws. This app is good but there are some graphical glitches relating to orientation rotation and it seems like there are a lot of redundant interface elements. (the language selection on the bottom occupies an entire bar - a waste of screen space. Please consider moving it to the top bar.)

Decent but flawed. If you want French, you need to change your localization to French first and then install. Then switch back. Also, twitter and facebook in app links don't work. The app itself is intuitive and the video quality is nice. I am a basic student of the language and find that the small textual explanation of what I am about to watch helps.

Why I love France. This is a tremendous app, much more fluid and robust than CNN - which really dropped the ball for iPad and mobile computing in my opinion. Granted this is a state owned news outlet, but does anyone think Fox or CNN don't have agendas?!? The interface is clean, easy to navigate and is news from around the world. The only weakness is the rumor that President Sarkozy might make it a French language only station? I say keep the English and ride the mobile wave to the top since CNN feels it has to charge us $1.99 for a lesser experience. Long live FRANCE 24!

Does not open. I downloaded the app. But it doesn’t open!!!!!!! I just don’t understand why?

Great!. I'd recommend this app. For people who are looking for looking for updated news around the world. I'd like to you guys to make this app. Work even while using my iPhone for different purposes like checking the missed calls or looking at my email inbox. Again, I love it.

Audio issue not France24 fault. Like others, I liked this app for unbias world news. But never got audio working on ipad2. All other apps have sound so i felt it was France 24. Turns out, appletoolbox dot com has solution in toggling Bluetooth on off, then setting audio to mono on off and mute unmute lock switch...bingo! Sound !! (i know it wasnt France 24 app as it works on my iphone4...just frustrated no support from them)

It won’t open up anymore. Doesn’t work anymore

Missing icon. Blank icon

It works for me.. I'm using iPhone 6s Plus with latest iOS. The articles are up to date. The archived videos and Live video play with sound. Don't know what to say for other users here who are experiencing problems.

Lending Tree add captures app in the US. In the US, the Lending Tree advertisement completely overtakes the app when the app is opened and there is no way to exit the advertisement. No X appears.

Nice app. Like being able to access the news coverage, but would really love it if there was control over the sound upon opening. Why does the live feed have to start automatically? Would be much better if that were something the user started as wanted. CNN gave the user control to not have the announcement made upon opening.

Useful. Since I wrote the below, this app seems to have been fixed so that the videos now play: This would be really nice if it would work. English for everything is an available option (also French and Arabic). The problem is the videos. When I first installed it, some of the videos would play at least partway through. It seems to be worse now, with few if any video files ever loading.

Goes Black After A Few Minutes. Love the channel but hate the app. The old app was a marvel, you could stream over Edge no problem. It still works, but audio is a few seconds out of sync. New version, the video turns black after several minutes. I don't like how many screens I have to jump through to find the live feed, either. I used to watch all the time. These days, not so much. Look forward to a possible fix.

New version needs work. The new version is crash prone, sometimes it is not able to launch at all. The video streams have now become unstable, and are simply unwatchable. Gone are the video controls as well, which in the previous version gave you the opportunity to pause and scroll the video to a desired point. Please do not launch updates that have not been thoroughly tested, for this once excellent app. Will try to restore to previous version from old backup.

Elegant interface. I had no problem using the app and switching between languages. I appreciate the feature where you can continue to listen to video while reading articles. This is a fantastic news app!

Wonderful application. Je fête le retour de mon journal préféré! The videos now load within three seconds, play continuously without crashing, and I no longer have to launch them in Safari. Consequently, I've restored my five-star rating. Many thanks for the return of this wonderful news source.

terrible. lanching video with audio without prompting is the worst offense an app can do. this app does it in opening with ads. terrible. shameful. i had to delete it. DO NOT INSTALL!

Apple TV app missing!. Would be a 5-star app if it had a standalone Apple TV app.

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!! (singing). When I had to change from free tv (converter box) to cable I lost this channel. I was terribly heartbroken! I missed everything about this broadcast, from the set to the English and Irish accents to "well-rounded" news stories. But now I can watch anytime I want with the app. Thank you, thank you, thank you. HALLELUJAH!! HALLELUJAH!! (still singing)

For better performance. You news is accessed by huge number of people worldwide, but you have to take in consideration that electricity and internet are available for very few hours a day and though people with iPhone can not find time to read your news. So I suggest the following in your App to be effective: 1- besides your online news, provide it as text with photos. 2- another effective suggestion is the ability to download your news in pdf files for the last week at least.

It stopped working for le dernier journal. I can no longer find le dernier journal nor le direct.

Great News Source with Streaming Video. I live US and our news sources are becoming more tabloid everyday. To keep my sources balanced, I try to pay attention to sources around the world. And France24 is an awesome news source!! I open this app at least 3 times a day at the office. I mainly use the streaming video feature but once I find anything interesting, I read the article to get further info. I really wish there are few more app like this from other countries. Seriously, great job France24. Keep up the great work.

Nice Try. But, . . .. You need to give users a choice whether to try to continue an interrupted video, or to move forward to where the stream becomes stable again. I just spent 13 minutes watching the same 10 seconds of video as the stream errored out and the app would reload starting 20 seconds before the error occurred. I would rather lose some video than watch the same 20 seconds FOREVER. Or at LEAST wipe out the message memory, so quitting the app will start the video stream at the current time, not back where the error WAS. It is, however, the BEST news app out there, and the reporting style is refreshing.

NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!! PAS DU TOUT BON!!. THIS NEW APP IS NOOOOT GOOD, WHERE’S THE OLD SPORT SECTION??? BRING OUR OLD APP BAACCKKK!!! CETTE NOUVELLE APPLICATION N’EST PAS BONNE. OU SE TROUVE L’ANCIENNE SECTION DU SPORT??? RAMENEZ NOTRE ANCIENNE!!!

News app for Africa. I've had no problems with this app crashing while using in English. It is really the only app with news on francophone Africa around. These countries don't make headlines anywhere else, so if you are interested in them this is the app for you. The only available alternative is RFI - an app only recently translated into English, with very few news items and an annoying commercial. Al Jazeera also has some African news, but since they try to cover the whole world - much less.

Simply an Outstanding News Service !. I have to give up on the validity of reviews on the App Store so many are erroneous or simply not the most recent. You Can't Buy This ! I enjoy the delivery of the International Press Review. includes (reuters, guardian, tribune, wsj, others)

iPad does't connect. France 24 is the absolutely the best international news source, intelligent, balanced and everything journalism should be. I've found no equal in my respect and affection. So it is extremely disappointing that the iPad app so frequently won't connect to download any video. The iPhone app works on the iPad but the video quality is very poor and content is limited. We've tried everything to restore connection, but too often nothing works. Full stars for France 24, zero stars for the app. jmg

Needs Subtitles/Closed Captions & Apple TV App. This app functions very well! I love that I can watch the news in French or English. However, I wish there was an option for subtitles or closed captioning, especially for the French broadcast. I can speak and write French very well, but I have difficultly understanding when it is spoken. (Especially beause the newscasters speak so quickly!) Also, I like to AirPlay it to my Apple TV from my iPhone, because there is no native France 24 app for the Apple TV. It would help if there was a native Apple TV app so I could use my phone while watching.

Needs an upgrade for iPhone 6. When sharing a story on Facebook it only puts the title and a link. If you go through Google and pull up France 24 the story has a Facebook icon or Twitter icon to select. It will then put the story on your Facebook page with a photo and full description of the story. Much nicer! You cannot log into France24 with Facebook to leave comments on stories anymore. I miss that.

Missing the old version. This is my first ever review. The only reason I am writing this is because I Am very upset with the new version. I used to watch France 24 everyday but they took away the chrome cast button. Then, I decided to watch my favorite news station on my tablet, but now there is no sound. This used to be my most used app, now I deleted it. Please bring back the old app or a chrome cast capable one. I know I am not alone.

Live Streaming. Please bring back the 24/7 live streaming.

Want to undo v. 1.3. I used to love this app and the reliability. I just updated to new version and it automatically launches the live feed. Very annoying when you launch the app in a crowd. It's not always appropriate to have sound coming out. How do I get at settings to turn this feed off? Also crashes half the time it is launched now. Can't find any support for this or a way to email the developer. The developer page link is no longer valid.

No Video. Only audio mirrors on Apple TV.

Best App so far. ThIs just seems to do what you want a news app to do and since I downloaded it last week I have returned twice a day. I love the French perspective on world news and the fact that I can view in French as well as English as well as English is just great. Love it!
