BBC World News App

I have searched in the App Catalog to find out if there is an app for BBC World News. No luck. I am basically looking for something like the New York Times app. Is there one for BBC?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Bell)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried that app but when I click on a news item, it takes me to the browser thereby opening another app. This is why I was looking for a dedicated app for BBC. My current fix to is use BBC mobile website and have a shotcut for this in the launcher. A seperate app like NYT woudl be great though.

App world new app icon

I have the Torch 9850 and this morning I got an icon in the tray on top of the screen saying I had 1 new app upgrade but when I go into App world I have no upgrades. I did a battery pull and the icon still shows up. I deleted app world and reinstalled and it still is showing 1 app upgrade. I checked each app I had for upgrades and none have one. Then when I deleted App World and reinstalled it now I have no apps listed in App world as installed. How do I fix this?
Solved!

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

I have purchased an IPAD 2 - everytime I try and update or download a new app i get e.g. 'BBC iplayer available to download when you go in to the itunes store on computer" Why cant I download direct?

I have an ipod touch and have no similar issues - is this an itunes account setup issue?

Have you tried logging out of your account via Settings > Store and tapping on your account id on the right-hand side, and the logging back in to see if that makes any difference ?
You could also try a reset and see if you can then download them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third option is to download one of the updates to your computer's iTunes and connect your iPad to it and sync it across, and then see if you can download the other apps/updates directly on the iPad.

BBIBLE APp DOES NOT OPEN ON PLAYBOoK NEITHER DOES BbC NEWS APp

when opened, they just show the bb logo and then it goes back to my homescreen

Restart your PlayBook and try again.
These are both Android apps and they sometimes don't initialize properly on first run.
I use the BBC News app and it does work

BBC News app on sim free iphone live tv message error

hello forum. just downloaded the new bbc news app to my iphone 4 from the app store which is amazing but i noticed that when i click on the live tv icon i get the message that you cannot view it from outside the uk but when i try it on my vodafone sim locked iphone 4 i am able to view bbc news 24. is anyone else having this problem. (i live in the uk)
could it be that sim free iphone 4's are recognised by the bbc as being from outside the uk?

I'm trying to access BBC news on iPad 2 through the app. Have the same problems.
I wrote to BBC tech support complaining about my access problem through computer, iPhone and iPad. On May 2, I received the following reply:
Thank you for your email.
We are aware that some people in Spain are having problems accessing the
BBC News site. We have identified the problem to the Telefonica ISP.
We have contacted Telefonica and they have advised anyone with problems
to contact them directly
Kind regards,
BBC News website
Hence, I contacted Movistar (new name of Telefonica) tech support. I was told they knew nothing about the problem and tried to blame my computer for it. And then they hang up!!! Not impressed!!
I wrote to BBC again on May 19 asking WHO I should contact in Telefonica/Movistar, since their tech support staff claim not to know about the problem As of today, no reply from BBC, so still very frustrated!

BBC News App

Anyone else having probs with the BBC News App, after i go to the live view the left hand side of the screen turns green and sometimes i get a error message saying 'cannot play movie outside UK'.Ive binned it and dl again but same each time??

Some content is restricted to users that have got an UK based IP-address. If trying to access that content from outside the UK you won't get nothing except that mentioned error message.
It's due to copyright restrictions.
Maybe Scotland isn't supposed to be part of the UK anymore.

BBC news app not refreshing?

iPad air, bbc news app has stopped, I've closed it and also
Done a full reset but every time I open it it goes back to Thursdays news.
It's on wifi and all other apps seem fine?

Phone Keeps Rebooting When Trying to D/L New Apps After An App World Update

Hi. I just got a Blackberry Curve 9350 from Sprint over the weekend. I downloaded some apps and everything went fine. Today, I had a notification to ugrade App World, well the ugrade was successful, and I clicked yes to allow the device to restart as soon as the ugrade was finished. Now, whenever I try to download a new application, the phone seemingly downloads it but then the screen turns black when the download is finished and will reboot itself. The new apps aren't found on the device afterwards. What is happening, how can I fix it and download the apps i want?

I suggest that you clear the AppWorld application cache:
1. Open App World
2. Go to My World
3. Follow one (and only one!) of these steps:
3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
3b. For Touch Screen Only BBs -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
3c. For newer (e,g., OS6 and 7) BB's, see this KB:
KB24714 How to clear the BlackBerry App World cache
4. AppWorld should close.
5. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
6. Return to AppWorld (it may be sluggish while it re-synchronizes).
If step (4) does not happen as listed, then the clear cache did not work.
Failing that, you can try this sequence:
1) Remove AppWorld from your BB (Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Applications) -- if it requests that you reboot the BB, do so.
2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot as described above.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld
http://blackberry.com/appworld/download
Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.
Hopefully it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

Is any one tired of buying apple products to have them die or become obsolete in 1 to 3 years? I have 2 Ipod touch 5 nanos 1 pad out of all 3 are useable. Batteries die or you can't upgrade to use them with new apps. BIG WASTE OF MONEY.

I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy

I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5. All still work just fine.
You may be the exception.

World of Apps Redemtion Issue (No luck trying to m...

November 22, I ordered two new Lumia's. A 1520 and a 2520. Both should qualify for the Nokia world of apps promotion but currenlty I am not able to successfully redeem...
I registered and tried submitting my product IMEI for my two new Lumia's and while one was declined (the 1520 IEMI) the other succeeded after a few tries (the 2520).
Once I recieved my voucher though via email i was unable to redeem it, it was rejected as already claimed.
So trying to find contact infomation to inquire about how to properly redeem my newly registered devices so I can get my world of apps access. I should get two 20$ vouchers... one for each device.
There is no customer support email other then these discussions.
Is this futile or can someone help me out with my current issue?

Hi JefferyStover,
Indeed, you have to contact your local Nokia Support. You may also refer to this post: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Phone-Applications/Free-20-App-Voucher/m-p/2350151#M40828

Thousands of new apps???? Where???

Am I looking in the wrong place? App world? I don't think there are a thousand apps in the entire store! Are more coming? Out of the thousands of android apps in android market, there is probably only acouple hundrend that are popular. Why couldn't the playbook just get them? Instead of ....well, useless apps! I mean, OH BOY! Facebook and e-mail and a calendar! Really???? Who the **** cares? How about at least 30 android apps people actually use?!?

dalehelton wrote:
So help me understand please. Were there not suppose to be a bunch of new apps with the update?
Yes, and some are there now, I think there are literally thousands more coming.
If I recall correctly, I believe I read that RIM had gifted 15,000 PlayBooks to developers who had signed up in the past 30 days, as part of their "submit an app, get a PlayBook" deal. That alone means ~15,000 apps.
In addition, I have already read the head of the apps/developer section of RIM state that they are SEVERELY back logged approving apps and getting them into AppWorld. So, I take that for what it is.. just a sign that there's more to come.
Meanwhile, my blood pressure remains normal. You might find it calming to go kills some pigs with Angry Birds for the time-being.

Why is everything new apps in 2014 update?

I thought this was exactly what creative cloud was not supposed to do!!!! This is so frustrating!!!!
I now have duplicate copy's of each app and I have to go through and manually un-install all the old CC version for the new 2014 CC version... I have to install all my plugins and add-ons again!!!! Such a hassle!!!!
Way to ruin the CC update... You screwed up your branding because now it says CC 2014... You should have just left it CC and just had it be an update like it is with any other update... I thought the whole point was that if you had adobe CC you had the latest software version... now I have CC and CC 2014 WTF?????? way to segment your versions!!!! How is this any different from CS5 to CS6 back in the old days?????
Epic Fail Adobe!!!! Epic Fail!!!

@brandall88 why is it adobe's responsibility to have their update path disrupted because some plugins from third parties won't work? There are full beta's of this software that go out months before anything is released and the plugin developers have access to these to test their plugins and make sure they will be compatible... Why is it the end users that have to deal with all this at launch? We are paying these guys this is their job... Don't make excuses for poor planing whether its adobe or third parties... And there is no difference between a slightly updated app and a completely re-written from the ground up app... Yes certain plugin's might not work in the new app so duh... don't update... simple... But I have had plugin fail from minor updates mid product cycle too... So this is a mute point... Adobe is trying to use this to keep the wool over our eyes...
First, it should be noted that plugin developers HAVE had access to the new architecture and are already working on updates. Some of them are very close. So Adobe has made it available to plugin devs. I am not one, so I can't say for how long, but I know for a fact that the devs are not just now getting their hands on it.
And end users have to deal with stuff like this all the time. It happens in many different software industries. If you think Adobe is the only one to ever handle it this way, you're crazy.
So let's go through a couple of scenarios, and you tell me which one would be a "win" for both Adobe AND the users:
Scenario 1: Adobe decides to update apps with the new architecture, and all future updates, including bug fixes, will have to go through that one version of the app. No old "version" to use on your current projects. If you want to experience any of the new features, you have to sacrifice work you've done previously that involved plugins until each dev catches up. You can't use any of your old plugins. Users get mad, storm the forums, you know the drill.
Scenario 2: Adobe lets you keep the old version around so you can continue to work on your current projects until the plugin developers catch up. But they also allow you to play with the new features and integrate the new power into projects that don't require external plugins. Users get it both ways, but a vocal minority still comes to whine on the forums.
Scenario 3: Please tell me which scenario this is. Please tell me how the users win.
It's not uncommon to update core functionality of a program and give the user the ability to run both the old and the new side by side. It's extremely common in the professional software world. Of course, if you only hang out on the forums for a company, you might think it's the biggest mistake the company ever made. I mean, heaven forbid Adobe make you have two versions installed and let the user have options! Somebody call the media!
I really just can't be bothered too much by it. It's such a small thing to get so upset about in my opinion. Sure, it's an inconvenience, no doubt about it. But you would think Adobe reached in your pocket and stole your jewelry with how upset some people get around here.
The simple truth is that Adobe can't win with it's users. Most people who complain(which likely make up the vocal minority) aren't going to be happy, no matter what.
I think Adobe are boneheads to not TELL people why there are two versions. Honestly, I only stumbled upon the information when I got an email from a plugin developer this morning. Adobe NEEDS to clarify this publicly and explain their reasons behind it all. But they most certainly aren't doing anything evil by giving users a choice.
It's sad too because many of the new features are HUGE workflow improvements and very nice to have. And in the non-forum world, loads of people are happy about it.
I know it would be easy to just say I'm drinking the Kool-aid and getting the wool pulled over my eyes, but the truth is I just refuse to get so upset about such small things. I'm a happy CC user, yes. Things haven't been perfect though, and I know that. It's not the perfect model to use, I agree. They have screwed some things up badly at times. But this? This is so small and petty. Not a major issue to have two versions installed.
