FRANCE 24

Dear developers, do you use this app yourselves to experience how it works? If so do you see what we see? You would agree that it's not very good and you should be working to fix it. If you don't have the same bad experiences can you please explain what you are doing different to us? Ready to appreciate the great news channel. Thanks, Tony No response after 3 months and still the same problem. The adverts come through OK but the app stalls and doesn't run. Anyone looking at this? Anyone care?

France 24 is an excellent source of worldwide news and media. The app is comprehensive and it is easy to navigate through its sections, which cover numerous current topics. I have experienced no loading issues or issues with scrolling on the present version. I happily recommend.

France 24 is the only international TV I watch on a daily basis no matter where in the world I find myself. It's also the source I rely upon when I want to know the truthfulness of any piece of important information I come across in other media outlets - just as its slogan goes: France 24, l'info certifié!

Adds are ridiculous, full screen, if this keeps up I will be forced to uninstall a great news source. App is almost unusable due to adds.

Another update, another slew of bugs... The latest update requires you to exit the application if you view a video in full screen. Seems they didn't leave a route back to allow you to watch another. That said, the amount, and the intrusiveness, of the advertising means you probably won't want to.

Very good and I think reliable source of inco. But the app crashes often and The live feed does not work.

Very annoying advertisements in the app, this is terrible and not acceptable! Also the pocket mode is NOT working, whenever i switch of the screen, the streaming will stops. Beside all of that, the "sound" streaming is lagging all the time even though i have very high speed internet, one of the best in the world but still there is problem with your app.

This app on Android TV is a disgrace - someone should get FIRED. It's either a tokenistic gesture or just an ad for F24. They clearly DONT want you to use this app, just so they can get a few extra cents from Youtube. 1) The controls are UTTERLY disfunctional: the pause and play on the remote does NOT work. The ON-SCREEN player wont even rewind/fast forward. Worst player interface I've ever encountered. 2) It only has TWO OR THREE Of the most recent episodes of any F24 program. What a waste of time. If this app was half-decent I would watch every past episode of French Connections. YT on Android TV has TOO MANY ads.

Too much propaganda from French government, unverified news, journalists belonging to leftists and extreme left political party, not objective at all

App will be better with widget for Top stories and Live news.. that way it reaches more for the audience..in my opinion, this news app covers wide news, may be must have app, if it reaches better..also I can have authentic news in french directly in home page. That way good for mine french..#widget for F24

Very soothing and kind reporting. As an English person I find BBC news and DW german news rather aggressive. I had a bad time at private boarding school and I hear the French cannot stand that we send small children away to boarding school. I therefore like them very much as they choose to keep their children at home. A much more caring country and this comes through with their reporting. Very easy to fall asleep to. Get the app on chromecast or fire TV stick. Great alternative to BBC news 24

I've always watched France 24 news and thought I should try their app. And no, I am not happy with it as it's a bucket full of advertisement! Adverts popping up on the screen every other second, that's not convenient! So until this is fixed, it's a 2 stars and an uninstall, for now.

The best application which I have come across providing a precise and accurate news with the ease of news navigation. Worth installing. I will be uninstalling all my other news providing application. Reliability, accuracy and precision at it's best. Keep up the good work.

I have a 600 mbs fibre optic connection but this app is plagued by constant buffering, making it unwatchable, will uninstall if no improvement soon! Tried the update but it won't connect using ethernet. Now app uninstalled and recieving France 24 via internet, perfect connection and no ads. Just installed app via 1gb ethernet connection, now nearly perfect.

Way too many notifications and seemingly no way to adjust frequency so you either get dozens a day or you disable entirely via Android notification settings. The full screen ads are also a disaster. I've opened the app several times and wondered why I'm in the play store or a different app only to realise that it was a full screen ad.

I cannot manage to view videos full-screen, nor can I switch to viewing them in landscape format by holding my cellphone horizontally. I'll have to use a third party app to properly view France 24's news videos. Moreover, the ads are very intrusive.

Complete full screen adverts with sound block all access to your device. Deleting this app for the last time. All of the work that goes into this app and all of the effort by the journalists is completely subverted by this crass, offensive, intrusive use of advertising. You do realise this is how foreign governments stop people taking notice of your news and discredit your version of truth. The more intrusive the advert the more people turn off. Time to wake up folks!

The closest news outlet I've found to Free Press

This is a useful app for getting French news in English and is easy to navigate. It misses out on 5 stars because it continues to close itself after a few minutes, even whilst you are reading an article. Fix the issue of the shutdown and its worthy of 5 stars.

Been trying to email through the contact form in the app, but an error comes up every time.

Sir/Madsm! Thank you very much for rectifying the anomaly in the form of the Live news coverage going off after the activation of the Auto-Rotatation mode. Your channel provides quality news items when compared with other international broadcasters. Keep it up. Regards and best wishes.

Mostly ok. Slightly different news agenda to other major sources which gives me a different view of what's happening. My main problem is the notification jingle is very loud and the toggle switch to turn it off doesnt work, so I am regularly started by it.

This app is getting from bad to worse. with the latest version it is impossible for instance to watch the latest bulletin and the language selection is just not working. the reporting/journalist content is the only reason this still gets a star. really too bad.

Problems with android, Samsung galaxy 10, after having this installed for years on phones it's just stopped working, saying no connection. I've tried uninstall & reinstall with no success. Works fine on friends iPhone, anyone else having problems? I've just left uninstalled for now.

Wonderful service, professional and well presented world news. Absolutely love it. Now I live in France it's my main source of news. Much better than the BBC which has gone to the dogs. Thanks France 24 for doing a superb job. I watch the news live as well as reading the static reports. I have a Huawei phone if anyone needs that info and have had no problems with the app.

I used this app on a daily basis (I like France 24's reporting style) . It would have numerous reports to read and show live TV, from the studio. However, last week I was promoted to perform an update and since then it fails to launch.

I like this site fairly well from the point of view of an American learning French. the pop-up ads that cover the screen are mildly obnoxious but just barely within tolerable levels. Advertisements Fair but excessive but excessive but excessive in-your-face noisy advertisement does not make for a good app

The streaming of the live news on this app is so unreliable. You can hardly get through 10 minutes without it quitting. Plus the adds right in the middle of the news broadcast are so infuriating.

I love France24, and I run it right through the day, every day. Recently whenever you open the app; there is this stupid financial add that is blocking you from getting to France24 news, and you can not close the add, or it does not go away at all. So now I can't get to the news anymore, it is being blocked by the stupid financial add. Please look into it.
