AJ+ is a global news community for the connected generation. We highlight human struggles and achievements, empower impassioned voices, and challenge the status quo.

It is more than just another news app. Its a community. Putting you at the heart of stories that impact your life.

Our content is broken down and presented in cards:

Video Card: Bite-Size, Shareable and engaging. Video cards aim to empower you with relevant information that contextualizes the world around you. From 6second headlines videos, through to 3min explainers and up to 7min documentaries, videos designed for a generation on the move.

Debate Card: Who doesn’t love a good debate? We know most issues have different viewpoints. These cards allow you to vote on a certain issue, take a stand and advocate your position within the community.

Conversation Card: Tired of trolls? This is the space to dive deeper into issues. We know we don’t have all of the answers (even though we’d like to think we do). A conversation card connects you with a global community to engage and learn from each other.

Quiz Card: Think you know everything? Take a quiz and test your knowledge. Quiz cards introduce a new and fun way to explore stories.

Art Card: Who doesn’t love sharing a good quote or compelling stat? Lucky for you, we love data! The art card is designed to highlight key data points around issues. They’re designed for you to share to your social networks.

Resource Card: Let us Google that for you. We know people spend more time searching for additional info on stories. This card will make your life a bit easier with links to relevant stories, articles and bits of information.

Cards are organized in a collection we like to call stacks. Making it easy for you to dive deeper on topics that matter to you. Stacks never really disappear; they simply get refreshed as the stories rise to relevance.

EMPOWER. ENGAGE. EXPERIENCE.

Pros and cons of AJ+ app for iPhone and iPad

AJ+ app good for

Love keeping up with news from the angle of AJ, definitely much better journalism than the stuff you run into in most of the mainstream US media. The SMS verification is not working for me (various reorts of errors) and it seems like maybe it could have a more interactive homepage or something where you can save bookmarked stories but other than that the app is simple and to the point just like it should be!

They tell the truth with no filters. Also have sources to back up the news.

This is my favorite app. Provocative, important and informative news, set out in a compelling format. Keep it up!

The credibility of Al Jazeera with a modern understanding of todays readers

I use this app everyday to get my fill in on political/activism news. Its really good

Awesome app, first to check in the morning to get in touch with the world. Great design, really inspiring, perfect for quick share in socials. In my top ten list!!

Some bad moments

Why is there no audio ? Also they need to put out more videos on tech and other countries.

I get text codes but they are not accepted. I cant open this app....

What up AJ+? Your app only show old video and maximum 2 nee daily story.. Everything we see on facebook should be in the app.. Disappointed

If you read AJ+ you will see that 90% is focused against Israel and other nations. Full of hate

Beautifully designed app. Really good grasp on social media viral news without losing the credibility.

This app is extremely biased in a liberal perspective. Although the reporters make valid points and create a simple and clear understanding of the topics at hand, most of them are taken completely out of context and are incredibly left winged. The average commentator on this app also tends to be the frighteningly liberal college student or the unsuspecting, ready-to-be-brainwashed teenager. Do not accept these stories as they are, do your research and come to your OWN opinion.
