#144672 — SOT - BBC news app

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):

It's a problem which has affected Apple TV too (hence SOT):

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.
