  • Wonderful app

    For the past few days in using this App,
    This is a great app for listening,
    Especially while long drives etc
  • An online written version

    I would continue taking the app if a written version, similar to the AP were available.
    I’m hard of hearing and would enjoy being able to read the news even if it were merely transcriptions.
    The audio version that is currently used is difficult to understand at normal levels and becomes distorted with increased volume.
    Thank you,
    Margaret Ashmore

  • Fox and CNN

    This a lot better app than the competition. It doesn’t lag, nor does it stall. I don’t have to retry.
  • Always first to report the big news from around the world.

    My go yo app to find out what real news is breaking from around the globe.
  • Facts not opinion

    Please provide me facts and not opinions and the facts should encompass reality perceived by both parties with regard to a specific issue
    I don’t need to read your manipulative text and narratives. Let
    me make my own decisions and draw my own conclusions according to the true facts thank you
  • Great content, annoying interface

    I hate that this app has to be not only open but also front screen to work over Bluetooth. Works fine when it’s just on the phone speakers however.
  • Bernard W (Houston)

    Only news service worth listening to! Unbiased, accurate, best readers, best and most current content... Keeps one in touch with the real world -
  • Sound issues

    Why does the radio not continue playing after minimizing the app. Continuing to listen to the radio player while actively reading or doing other task. The radio player just stops as soon as some other task is done on the device. It should continue playing whatever the listener is listening to. Unless it’s paused or stopped. What fails. Does the player version need to be updated.

  • News only through podcasts??

    I absolutely hate only being able to hear the news, I want to read articles for myself and be shown the graphs before my own eyes. I cannot find a single written piece on here, maybe it used to include them but it does not whatsoever anymore. It should advertise itself as a podcast app so I don’t waste my time!
