These notifications enable you to be alerted to the biggest news stories as they happen. When a push alert is received it will pop up on your screen similar to a text message, regardless of whether or not the app is open at the time. Depending on your settings the alert may also be accompanied by a sound.
Tapping the notification will load the corresponding story in the app. To download the latest version, visit the App Store from your device's home screen and tap Updates.

From the same screen set Alert Style to either Banners or Alerts. Additionally, you can choose whether to display alerts in your device's Notification Centre or lock screen. If you are not receiving notifications but the settings screen suggests they are switched on, it may be necessary to reinitialise the push settings by first turning all alert settings off before turning them on again.
By default the BBC News sound is played whenever an alert is received. This can be turned off or re-enabled from your device's notification settings screen see above.
The number of alerts we send out will vary according to the news agenda, however this will typically be between one and three notifications a day.

I was hopeful that the recent update would fix the live stream problems, but nope. I get about 15 minutes of broadcast and then the app pauses the stream and then ultimately crashes or hangs there expecting you to unpause it every few minutes until it finally crashes.
Strangely I have had the same crashing issue of World Service on other apps too, so it is not specific to this app, but more specific to their stream, which is now no longer worth trying to listen to due to how broken it is. I know that the world wants broken up news reports instead of a proper stream though I have been having this issue for over six months and no amount of bug reports has seen improvements made.
This app focuses mostly on the distressing news throughout the world. It repeats it ad nauseum. There is so much news out there, it would be good for this app to broaden its horizons. It gives a bit of news from the most "noisy" places repeatedly , but fails miserably in wider coverage. If it's not bad news, this app doesn't cover it. Except of course for the little Royals. Now that's cute.
The main problem that I have with it is that if you want to read one of the stories and you happen to be way down in the column on the story, when you finish reading it and go back to the column it puts you all the way back up to the top of the column instead of where you were. That is extremely frustrating have to go all the way back down to the bottom of the column where you were!!!
