Sharing stories doesn't work, it automatically enables every notification including lock screen & bypasses even do not disturb!!! It's so difficult to read any article with all the ads in middle of paragraphs, pop up ads in article & continue reading bar to push for every one. Worse all it does is redirect you to shady sites to read actual articles, they aren't within this app. Spare yourself the hassle of this junk app.

won't save settings. it offers a lot of settings. i go through the menu, make my selections, and it ignores them. i turn off notifications, and it turns them right back on. i turn off pictures, and it turns them right back on. a big disappointment.

For the most part it is good. However every once in a while some people are allowed to get away with using racial slangs.and then at other times I get reported even though I did not break any of the rules. Aside from these troublemakers I would say it's a pretty good website. You'll never be perfect but keep trying never stop trying to reach it. Also this app is safe.there are some other apps that can cause your phone to jam and malfunction another ways. This one is a safe one.

user unfriendly. have to click twice to continue reading, and then continue reading the entire article; then have to click twice to back all the way to main table, and more often than not that's when a full page ad pops up. so basically surf 5x for 1 story. lots of stories, yes. user unfriendly, also yes.

App de-selects my choices for news sources and sets its own, REPEATEDLY. Thus rendering the app useless. Multiple source choices from every media category and push notifications are high on the list for what people want but can't find in a news app. Correct the major issues with source selection and this concept is a good one. This app has alot of potential. Uninstalling for now.

I like the App for the most part. It's open news not significantly censored comments unless vitriolic. The problem I have is ads that randomly pop up that have forced sound. One should not have to be worried that random attention is brought up due to an app. Again not against ads understandable. Bills have to be paid & users might find something interesting. However give us an option to mute or turn on a close caption for ads.

Allows comments with likes/dislikes. Seems to have plenty of fresh content. Can unfollow news sources. Lots of settings, such as turning off auto play of videos. That's all great. But the ads already seem a bit overwhelming. (just installed today). I don't know how many more times I can take being spammed by deer hunting game and super telephoto lens scam ads before I uninstall... The unfollow does not work. Clicked unfollow CNN under at least 10 videos now. Still showing video content from CNN.

It takes news re-directed from your local newspaper's app, and mixes it in with local insignificant stories from every town across the country, as if it were from your own home town, but it is all extremely inundated with advertising all over the screen, including obnoxious full-screen video ads of 20 seconds or so in length! The whole app is basically one big collection of advertisements.

A much superior news app that allows for both discovery and personalization. Very intuitive to users preference unlike its competitor, that pushes consistently fake liberal news and laughably calls the more sought after rational, unbiased, and reality based conservative news "the other side". Imee needs to get a clue and check out this concept of how news should be offered. So glad my time will be spent exploring actual news sources that still have integrity. Well done, Devs.

From one star to five. Support for this app is simply the best in the business. Once again they have worked with me in realtime to resolve a technical glitch over the course of many hours to get me up and running again. Bravo! The app itself is excellent, very customisable, consistently functional, and the user conversations are diversified. This is the only app you will ever need for world, national or local news. Thanks again guys!

Greed should be the name of this app. I don't believe I have ever seen so many ads in one app. This app it's not only loaded with ads which make it junky looking to begin with but the Articles themselves just repeat over and over as you scroll down. Not to mention the fact that when you do click on an article to read it takes you to the new page which requires you to tap on continue reading which often takes you to a website on available page. What a waste of time!!!

a lot of news headlines but you have to pay for a subscription so at least half of this you don't get the story.

Keeping up with the News 🗞️ is hard. I hate sitting watching the TV. I enjoy that I can have access to this News without a Television on.

The app would be leaps and bounds better if it didn't allow all of the blatant spam/bs ad's to advertise on there and I'd estimate about 20% of the "breaking news" alerts are for trivial inconveniences for small random communities all over the country. I like having a diverse news source, but I disagree that a missing dog getting found in Georgia is "breaking news" especially when I live on the West Coast.

Note to dev: I understand the need/desire to be compensated for one's labor and, so, the inclusion of ads, which is why I look for apps like yours that provide a purchase option. My main point is that I believe $10 to be too costly. Other very full-featured RSS News apps, like NewsCracker, are available for a mere fraction of that cost. ORIGINAL: Too many ads. Ads-free too expensive at $10!

I originally gave it a 3 because of issues with notifications., but that seems to be resolved UPDATE: After re-install the app seems to be behaving. I like because it's quick and easy to check the top stories, but also has in-depth articles for when you have more time. I'm still working on filtering out the sources that ! feel are biased.

App needs repairs. The ads repeat relentlessly and always the same single ad, between every five articles. News articles require multiple clicks to open. All video's start with an ad that plays 3 seconds at a time, with 30 second breaks for loading the next 3 second segment... on the chance you make it through the entire video ad, the news video that you waited for has a zero percent chance of playing, rather an error message is displayed. Super disappointing app with no way to report the probl

New Oct 30 update greatly improved functionality, so developers are on top of issues, thank you. Great layout and a wide variety of sources provide wide array of topics, all of which are user selectable. My one bone of contention is that you can't disable vibration independently while maintaing audible notifications.. Including that option would be seriously excellent. Nevertheless worthy of 5 stars based on content and performance. New update includes the vibration enable/disable feature! Tnx!

Too busy. requiring multiple clicks to read an article when one will do. Also, they hide ads and commercials, making you click on them, only to find they are an ad. Ads and commercials are OK, but should be identified as such. not hidden several layers deep. Too many times, I have exited the app. completely because something that seemed interesting turned out to be an ad for some product. This app. turned out to be a waste of my time and nowhere near as informative as I thought it would be.
