  • SOT - BBC news app

    From Jeff Layman@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 29 18:32:25 2024
    It's not common but sometimes the BBC news app reports: ______________________________________
    !
    Sorry, there was a problem loading this content

    Please try again"
    ______________________________________

    However, if I immediately open a browser (Firefox or Vivaldi) and try
    the https://www.bbc.co.uk/news webpage, that works without problem. The
    app issue is known, but most "explanations" involve other servers other
    than the BBC one working (in this case, however, it seems to be the same server): <https://www.quora.com/On-the-BBC-news-app-there-are-certain-articles-which-when-I-tap-on-say-there-was-a-%E2%80%98problem-loading-this-content-even-though-I-have-data-WiFi-on-and-other-articles-and-apps-work-perfectly-why-is-this>

    It's a problem which has affected Apple TV too (hence SOT): <https://www.reddit.com/r/appletv/comments/1crm6is/there_was_a_problem_loading_this_content_i_am/>

    Anyone else experienced this issue?

    There are several reviews in the Playstore of this issue (possibly made
    worse by the latest app update). I've deleted the app and made a browser bookmark to <https://www.bbc.co.uk/news> instead.
