Enjoyable
This app provides enjoyable learning of current events in French. I like that you can listen to the news in three different speeds according to your skill level. I enjoy reading along, and it is nice to be able to tap the words that are hyperlinked with definitions.
Logging in
So - I having had issues with my phone I try to log in, clearly forgotten password. But all I get is ‘No account with those credentials’
OK, so I try to reset password. Nope no opportunity to do so. So, I delete the app and try again and repeat. Same problem over and over again. For goodness sake - I cannot even create a new account as it will not let me. Pathetic

Really useful, the only learning method I’ve stuck with!
I’ve been using the app and the browser based on and off for several months now. I’m a really inconsistent learner, but I come back to News in Slow French for one main reason.
I believe the best way to learn a language is to speak it.
It’s amazing how much you can know in theory, but when you come to actually speak to someone, you are flummoxed! And probably the best way to practise speaking is language conversation classes. Unfortunately they are not available for just the five minutes you might have spare in the day!
However, listening to NISF, spoken by clear, native speakers, and stopping every few words to repeat - the old, écoutez et repeatez - I think is the next best thing. And the subjects are pretty good and hold the interest well.
Incidentally, I had been using google translate to do a similar thing myself, but the translators speak really fast (does focus the mind though!) and you have to go back to the beginning of the sentence or paragraph every time you stop and repeat.
I’ve been subscribing for a few months, but I’m actually only in browser mode at the moment because I only have a very few minutes a day and no income at the moment and it’s still great as although the articles are cut short, it actually suits me because I don’t have time to do full articles (although can leave you hanging on the punch line!)
Anyway, I’ve never written such a long review, but noticed it was really poorly rated and thought - that’s not fair! It’s a great product!!
Anyway, I have got to get on!

Insanely great content and app!
Being able to listen to these newscasts has been central to my day — and transformative for my language study. I am very grateful to the news desk, hosts and app developers.
Suggestion: It would be wonderful if there were an option, when you click on words and phrases, to have them and their translations load into a simple table to copy and export into .xls, Quizlet or other. That would be very powerful for review and retention.

Too left wing
The Italian language part of it is very useful but you have to put up with endless left wing diatribe and climate alarmism. The world is going to burn up any minute according to this mob and any right wing government elected signals the end of the world as we know it. I couldn’t cope any longer and abandoned it. It would be great if they just reported the news without the propaganda.

Doesn’t have payment on the app
I can’t purchase for having an account from the iOS app, it just has a login page, and also doesn’t have any information for I have to enroll only from the website.
I miss the old app
Well it would be nice to log in again to 360. I thought I’d give it another try but no way to purchase a subscription or recover password.
How do you sign up?
Would happily subscribe if I could finger out how
How to reset password?
Just downloaded the L360 app after not using slow news for a while. Is there really no way to reset a password in the app? Seems like a pretty basic function, just like other streaming apps. Also surprised at the tone of some of the developers’ responses to others here. If this many people have the same question, then maybe consider that you have not provided enough information. Not really interested in helping folks? Isn’t this an educational company?

Tone deaf company and app
How many people have complained and stopped using Slow Spanish?
Yet the developers write the same response.
Deleting app. Slow Spanish used to be a helpful tool.
