So you want to watch governments in the Middle East falling but you don’t have an Android or BlackBerry smartphone? No problem, Al Jazeera released an iOS app for its English service, allowing you to keep up with the latest news coming from one of the most violent regions in the world.
Available as a free download, the application features content from popular sections of the Al Jazeera English website, including Breaking News, Opinion, Features, as well as same-day access to full-length programmes. Moreover, there’s the ability to watch live streaming of 24-hour news broadcasts in audio and video format completely free of charge though you’ll have to pay for mobile data if you’re not doing this while in a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Finally, using the “My News” feature you can customize the app’s home screen with your favorite topics, and there are also social media sharing options along with the ability to download articles for offline reading.
