Guest beepo666 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Anyone tried the BBC app yet? The reason I ask is that @BBCClick reckon it only works on Gingerbread not Honeycomb. I just thought that was a bit odd. Hard to find in the marketplace because it's saturated with look-a-like apps, however there's a link here. I can't try it as I'm on extended vacation in Asia right now and installation is restricted :-( A screenshot would be lovely, and details about sizes if it has a widget etc. I'd love to see if this runs on Vegacomb. Cheers :P Edited May 25, 2011 by beepo666

Cheers :P I found it straight away in Marketplace - was top of the list searching for BBC News. Works fine on Corvus5 - Froyo. Can't do a screen shot as I am working at the moment. I wouldn't say is is anything very special, just a neat list of the news items on the BBC web site, with ability to get to all the category groups. The Widget just seems to give top headline
Guest beepo666 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 I was hoping for something like the Sky News app for iPad. That's really tasty. Oh well, thanks for giving me the skinny. :P

Guest rferrett Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 It doesn't support landscape viewing which makes it pretty useless on the Vega. Is blooming ace on my desire mind!

Guest Algie Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Won't download with Vegacomb 1.5. Tells me it's not compatible.
Guest mudcruzr Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Pretty cr*p really, more like a beta version without anyone asking for feedback! Each category only shows nine stories (my BBC rss feeds have usually between 10 and 150 unread stories each morning) If you read a story it's not replaced by an unread one. There's no indication of the read/unread/updated status of any stories. I don't think the developers know about tablets (as mentioned above) - no landscape. The video links are very low quality. As I said, cr*p (imvho) - mud
