I find the app on the telly doesn't work after a while, just a spinning wheel. To fix this, you just need to force stop the app, and run again. Must be a cache issue.

J
Jon Myles 2024-02-12

Every fortnight to a month the app stops working, assume memory cache problem, occurred with older Samsung but have a year old Samsung A13 & can only be fixed by uninstallation & re-installation!

Hi, 2 queries the use on a regular basis of using God's name in vain it's very upsetting & offensive to me & many other Christian persons . I love gb news I've watched it since the start but this distressed me deeply there is no need for it.you always pull people for swearing but the God phrase is ignored. The 2nd issue is when is can Wootton coming back I really like Patrick Christy but he doesn't fit the 9pm slot, my world has never been the same since dan has been dropped there is something special missing I will take my concern to off com if my 1st issue is not addressed I await a reply @ your earliest convenience yours sincerely eileen

Dear GB News. I watch GB News on my phone and over the past few days it has been buffering continually. Help!

Sheila Banks 2023-09-13

Dear GBnews, I have had the GB News app on my iPhone for several months now. I sometimes watch programmes on my phone, but usually on my laptop or TV. But I still use the iPhone to keep track of what is happening and read some items. However, yesterday the app started playing a short piece of music every time something was posted. The same piece of music that is played often during the breaks. I don't know why it has suddenly started to do this, AND I cannot see how to turn it off. And if it doesn't go quiet again I will have to offload the app from my phone as I cannot have it doing that. As I say, I mainly watch the programmes every evening on my laptop or TV, but like to have the App on my phone. Can you help me with this please? Thank you, Sheila Banks

I watch GB News on my iPad. It has been fine, but in the last fortnight it freezes, usually after the ad breaks. Please get it working again. Watching Jacob Rees-Mogg keeps me sane!

GB News has stopped working for the past two weeks on my iPhone 13. It has been reloaded several times. It seems the issue is pop/up ads appearing at the bottom of the screen. It is not possible to close them and then open the main content

Perhaps GBnews should employ a random 12year old youtuber who never seem to have this many problems broadcasting to the world.

Trying to watch the live stream via the GB News app but it just keeps freezing. Never used to have this problem but it is unwatchable now. No other problems with other live apps. The YouTube channel’s live stream works fine.

I cant seem to start your livestream from your webpage. It was working fine until just this past weekend. nothing but a blank screen on you start window now. I can still watch Mark Steyn on his webpage but i also enjoyed watching Dan Wooten , Nigel Farage and others. I hope Americas Big Tech has not "canceled" you here! If they have i hope you fight back! I hope to see you again real soon..I was a fairly regular viewer. Dont lose Mark Steyn!

I used to be able to watch GB News on digital 236 but now it works perfectly for 2 minutes then freezes. Can I avoid this - if not I just cannot watch the only decent station on British television. I am in Wiltshire and have had a new aerial fitted to the house and retuned about 8 times in 2 months. Everything else works just fine. HELP!

G
Gary 2022-06-11

I bought a fire stick so we could watch GB news, I down loaded the APP from Amazon. It had been working fine for months but the last few weeks it has been unwatchable due to the constant freezing and the wheel of death. Every other site works with no problem just a fault with GB news . I have unloaded and reloaded followed all the advice to get it working but it still continues to freeze. I am very frustrated at this point.

B
Brian Rodgers 2022-06-10

What on earth is going on with your Android application?...Simply freezes after a minute or two with a circle..Everything else is working ok on tv/firestick... Its my only available way of watching GB News...As its clearly a widespread problem please get it sorted and let us know as Ive now for the moment given up trying to watch your channel Update...Recorded programmes seem to work ok its just the live stream
