  • Frustrating redirect to ad pages

    I love the concept and the articles are nice but the app diverts to a full screen ad every 15 to 20 seconds even when you haven’t clicked on anything or any of the ads on the page. It makes it extremely difficult and annoying to read the articles.
  • Click-ads make content unreadable

    I love the premise of this organization and the news stories, but lately the number of click ads has made the content virtually unreadable. This is a recent problem. You don’t even have to actually touch an ad for it to open- you can just be “close enough” it seems. I “opened” (but I never touched them) over a dozen ads just reading stories this morning when I finally gave up out of frustration.
    So much for Good News making me feel good.
  • Decent

    App is just okay, not a lot of articles each day and the most annoying thing ever, pop up ads that take over your screen, I simply cannot stand these things. Pop up ads are the absolute worst and they are now showing up on a news app? Ridiculous
  • Breath of fresh air

    Whether you need a news break or a more balanced information diet, these true and relevant stories that you won’t normally hear are funny and/or uplifting. Some critique that it is biased, but I don’t think so. Unless you think helping the environment or those in need and stories of peace are bad news, it is full of good news with an inspiring daily quote and good news in history. Free!
    Please consider offering a paid version without ads because they are very annoying.
  • Positive, motivating, creative, what’s not to love?

    This app is THE alternative for mainstream news. I love how this app digs into the little acts of kindness that make this world better and better. The Good News Network is an example of finding the sunshine during a cloudy time. And it isn’t biased and doesn’t talk about subjects to divide us like race or religion. Instead it focuses on the positive stories that everyone can agree on.

    I highly encourage this app to anyone wanting balance, inspiring and happy news to brighten your day.

  • What I Needed

    Main Stream Media is filled with fear mongering, bad news, and left me feeling anxious and down. Sound familiar? After deleting all my social media accounts, turning off the news, and only reading the good news network I have felt my daily mood improve significantly!! Fantastic app! Everyone DESERVES some good news today. Do yourself a favor, you won’t regret it.
  • I start my day with this app

    This app has been a part of my morning routine for years. Not only are the stories great but the app works really well!
  • Too many little stories, needs more big stories

    The app itself is OK though it needs a widget. But the bigger problem is that too many of the stories are fluff akin to “Firemen save old lady’s cat from tree” or they miss the bigger picture, so something like “Town raises money for girl’s operation” isn’t good as it really means society failed to provide medical care. Given how crappy the world is right now, to make me feel better I need good news stories about *consequential* things.
  • Less celebrities

    I love this app and the whole notion of good news news, but recently I’ve noticed an increase in the number articles or notations about celebrities, particularly in “On This Day”. I’d be fine with that if it was balanced with articles or notations about other people who have made great contributions to humanity in fields other than the arts or sports.

    And by the way, your app has no method for providing feedback of any sorts.
  • Good news is critical during the pandemic

    I absolutely love this app and share it with my friends and neighbors almost everyday! It’s helping to keep me sane and balanced while we deal with everything from the incompetent President to the Trump mini-me who is currently Governor of Florida. This network has helped restore my faith in humanity.
