Well-researched and written; palatable balance of written, spoken and video stories and a digestible quantity of ads — and even they seem to be somewhat curated.

I’m Canadian and even I can spot your obvious bias in politics, especially regarding politics pertaining to the United States of America. Real journalism tells the facts of both sides and not the opinion of one.

Though I like AJ news, the app should allow for portrait mode reading, not limiting users to landscape only. Night mode is necessary to remain competitive.

This app would be excellent if a reading mode ( including font sizes and dark background)
is added, which would reduce eye strains.
Other than Aljazeera is good news source.

Your articles frequently state that the article produced is not necessarily the opinion of AJ, which is reasonable. However, it would be nice to know the name of the author so the reader can read his/her works in other venues, publications, blogs, broadcasts, etc. Thanks for providing us with a more diverse perspective on world events.

The App is not that bad,the content is rich with good and credible informations from all around the world,
But it is not easy to read the articles provided in the application, there is no way to zoom the articles for those old people and for those who have a poor sight in their eyes.

Version 4.3
I’ve been reading the news from this app for several years now, and continue to appreciate its information
I think they are one of the most unbiased news agencies, better, I feel, than even last year
They still have a home bias, I guess that’s expected, but are my go to source for more accurate reporting in the Middle East, and a Middle East perspective to the world
I gave it 3 stars last year, but I’m moving my rating to 4 stars based on good reporting, varied and interesting articles and critical assessments of both Sunni and Shia led governments.

Great app

I live in Canada and as a result have news which is both “Western” based and also “American” based. I always read Al Jazerra daily and truly value a different perspective.
The in-depth articles and videos are excellent.
Additionally, the authors know how to write well. Given the budget they have, I also hope they fact check their articles.
In any event, one should read this news firm no matter how they feel about its ownership and lack of reporting on Qatar.

Aljazeera English is probably the only news source that I cherish in my heart, because it's probably the only company that provides incredibly in depth news of the world.
In regards to the app, it works fantastically when I'm simply accessing articles to read, but when I try to watch the shows and documentaries, it takes its time to load and glitches at times. Hence a 3 star rating.

I find the controversy over the contents of this app very strange. In fact I am not aware of any story published in English that is not balanced as anything published in the New York Times. True the different news sources slant news in different ways which is fine nothing outside reasonable discussion.

Details North Americans can't find on other sites

I greatly enjoy AJ English for the detailed news articles (something missing from most news apps in general) on a range of subjects and countries not covered by, or only hinted at, by most other sources. I'm only giving it 4 stars due to some blatant anti-semitism. Most Western news outlets are equally biased in different directions, though, so I take it in stride and figure that's what my brain is for. Excellent news app!

Far Better

About as biased as they come, but what news agency isn't? Good to get a range of different views in my opinion. As long as you can separate opinion from fact you'll be fine. The app works well enough.
