Just thought I would let others know that you can disable this app in your phones application settings. Which is what I'm doing because this app does nothing but install apps and games without my permission. I shouldn't keep finding apps or games installed on my phone that I did not install myself.

This app cannot be uninstalled or disabled. Its notifications can't even be turned off through settings. This is beyond bloatware; it's mafia marketing. Had it not been rammed down my throat so forcefully, I might have taken a closer look at it. What a waste of SD card space. Why isn't it possible to give an app a zero star rating? This app made me turn off the Playstore's auto update feature. No way I give greater access to an app like this!

I finally figured out how to stop this app on my phone. If you just disable it it will re-enable itself repeatedly. There's supposed to be an option in the launcher to turn it off but that option doesn't work. So you have to go into Google Play and disable auto updates for this app. You select the app and then go to the three dots at the top on Google Play and uncheck auto updates. Then with the app disabled and uninstall the it will stop reappearing. It reappeared again ugh.

I do not want this app on my phone and I am unable to Uninstall. This is very irritating. I did not download/install this app. Google Play choose to install it and there is nothing I can do about it. Google has done this to produce more ad revenue.

This app keeps sending news stories to my home scene that I never asked for and I am unable to disable or stop the notifications. It's very annoying!

I didn't approve this app on my phone. It give notifications on my lock screen. I cannot cancel them. I can or delete this app nor control anything it does. This app was forced on me from an update. Remove it please!

Hate it! Hate that I can not turn off notifications and hate all the trash news it puts on my phone. Also hate that I keep deleting and it comes back! Uses too much battery running in the background & can not turn it off

It was the cause ofe to reset my phone to factory settings. It override the amber alert settings, that I have off. It all so started to give me news reports that I didn't want at all. I would to uninstall this item then to have it mess upy phone again. BUT you have it that I can not uninstall it.

Kind of a news aggregator, but categories are very broad and don't seem to actually affect what you see. Also ads are buried into the news feed without any other ID'ing info, so it's very easy to confuse a news article & ad.

I hate this app! They're forcing news down my throat. I don't watch the news! I don't want gossip or this toxic feed that news represents. But I can't even opt out of news. It should be optional, not forceful! Also, there are nothing related to play. It's literally just a news feed that's it. I'm uninstalling the app. It's garbage!

Interesting, I contacted T-Mobile Play support and the tech was surprised that I couldn't disable. I was even asked for a screenshot. Still waiting... Did apologize for my annoyance. Aug 18 Update: and similar Aug 23 Update Tom the Dev suggested I Disable notification and the app, the both options clearly greyed out in the screenshots I sent previously. Feb 1, 24 update: notifications stopped then started week ago. Have been Force Stop app. Restarts, but maybe generates msgs? Annoy us both?

This app is terrible, if you own a t mobile device you can't uninstall it, it will automatically download apps that you don't want and you cant turn it off, and today they added a "feature" that gives you a news notification everyweek that once again you can turn off

Why do I keep getting this app, even when I've disabled it dozens of times? After I disable it, it disappears from my apps list but out of the blue, it comes back. I pay my T-Mobile balance in person, in the store, not through my Android, so please, someone tell me how to stop this annoying app from coming back like Jason from Friday the 13th! Stop forcing people to rate these invasive apps so our review can be posted. Afraid of your customers? JEEZ!!!

T-Mobile forces the app on customers. Phone worked fine without it for over a year. Then it was installed without any input from me. If you disable it, it re-enables itself. Can't uninstall it. Very annoying. It's a "free phone" that I've got 3 more payments before I own it. Then I'll unlock the phone, root it, and figure out how to uninstall it, and find another carrier. Smooth move T-Mobile. You lost me with this.

This just showed up on my phone. I hate getting notifications so I turned off that feature on all my other apps but I can't with this. It keeps turning it back on. I've tried uninstalling it and it's still there. I've never had an app do this. T-Mobile needs to fix this and delete it from my phone. This is invasion of privacy. I was on the fence about switching carrier but if this isn't fixed than I'm finding someone else that doesn't force things on you. And respects my privacy.

This is the app from HELL. You can't make it permanently go away! You literally "uninstall" it and it comes back! I haaaaate notifications, so I disabled them in almost everything. But with this is one, the notifications just keep coming! Some days it'll let me actually click off the notifications (which it then ignores) and other days the notification button is grayed out. I've been over and over and over this with customer support and even "submitted a request" BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!

I love T-Mobile. They've always treated me great and have great plans, coverage and service. This app, however, is full of click bait headlines, human drama and horror stories, gossip and other sleazy junk. None of it is of value. I'm sure there's a way to go under the hood to disable it and I'm going to look now. What a disappointment from an otherwise great company.
