BBC News App Now Available For Android Worldwide
Last month the BBC launched their offical BBC News Android app, but you could only access it in the UK. Now it is available worldwide and Android users only need to head over to the Android market to install it.
Personally, the BBC News app is one of my favorites and I use it most days. It allows you to get the latest world and regional news from the BBC’s global network of more than 2000 journalists. From breaking news, to business, politics, entertainment, technology, the arts and sport, all divided into clear sections, this free app lets you watch video reports, listen to live radio and read the latest updates wherever you are.
