  • I’m so disappointed

    At first, I liked your news app a lot I really did, but then with this whole political circus going on I was hoping that news app would actually be somebody that was biased and gave both sides of the news fairly so that people could make more informed decisions, but I’m seeing from you is the one sided, and clearly you are on the left side. There are people out there who depend on the news to help them determine what is best for not only themselves but our country as well all I can say is that I will be deleting your app as well my husband and my daughter and do better try to be fair because there are people out there who need to know I am not delusional. I know that both political sides lie, but that’s why some people depend on our new source to dig into those things find out the truth and post what’s going on not be a part of the finger pointing and assigning blame
    It’s really disappointing because when I first started this app, I thought you guys were great but I’ve seen other people saying your comment section is disgusting. The slurs that go on or gross and you seem to want to do nothing about it. Do better the people who depend on you to be honest, fair and to do your due diligence.

  • Let Users Turn OFF notifications!!!!!!

    As the title suggests, the app will allow you to turn off certain settings in the notifications however the notifications themselves have three settings of frequency, “High, standard, and low.” Would be nice if we the users could turn them completely off/on. It can get overbearing getting the amount of notifications people still get even on the low setting. Would help during certain times throughout the day.

    The news updates are decent and all, however a lot of content is NOT fact checked beforehand. That being said take each article with a grain of salt. As so with any other “news outlet or app”, do your own research after reading an article on here.

    As for the most part it has been helpful to know about the crimes and other information that has been going on in my area. Especially since I don’t watch the news on TV and I don’t get the newspaper. It has been helpful being able to comment certain articles and speaking with others around my area or even across the world. However, as with all comment sections and threads, don’t mind the trolls and nut cases, and you’ll most likely find out that this app is pretty useful to you as well.

  • Annoying false advertisement

    I’ve downloaded and removed this app multiple times because it promises to keep me “alerted about local news and crime”. Except— it doesn’t do that. It doesn’t do that at all. Instead, it notifies me every single hour about “breaking news” despite having EVERY option in the notification setting turned OFF. I was promised alerts and notifications about crime in my local area— but there’s not even an option for “local crime”, only “local alerts”, which does NOT notify me of crime happening near by at all. Give us an option to turn off breaking news— I have notifications set to low frequency and I’m still getting regular alerts for news that doesn’t even apply to me. I get that the app is called “newsbreak”, but it’s extremely annoying to have an app advertise itself as something that’ll alert you if there’s an emergency going on— without giving you the option.

    Also— c’mon, why is the app advertising itself as if it’s special for it to have a crime and SO map? Its public— oh, and look at that. Another sponsored notification from newsbreak. This is horrendous.
