Love this news app!
Best news app since Summly!
Short, Fast, and Efficient
Great opportunity to be up to date with everything happening in the world in seconds
Ditch the app…
We don’t need more apps guys. You have great content but the app is unnecessary and clumsy to use
Finally news that are fun and informative
I stopped reading the news 2 years ago because I couldn’t bring myself to read so much. Since downloading Volv, I use it every day. I prefer using this app even over Instagram and I’m learning about the most important things happening. It’s easy to dive deeper into a story, and they recently added timelines for major events in stories such as the Ukraine Russian war. Couldn’t recommend more.

Meaningful content
Love it!!! Such a nice calm experience reading trailer-like bits of articles & newsletters about topics I’m interested in
Tried offering feedback, was asked to follow their social media in order to get a response!
Last week and after the latest update; the Share button kept crashing the app. So I sent them an e-mail. Received a response saying that if I don’t follow them on their social media, they may not get back to me!
I don’t need a response when I report a bug; but asking me to follow you on social media just so I can hear back is slightly unintuitive, don’t you think? Specially since we downloaded this app to get away from social media and news noise!

So easy to get my daily news
I read news everyday here to stay up to date with industries relevant to me. Love the short extract and the friendly UI.
Does way too much tracking
Apple privacy report shows 83+ tracking sites connected to this app. Does not ask if you will allow them to track before forcing you to create an account after downloading and installing. Does not follow Apple privacy policy.
Articles contain links to and are sourced from suspicious websites and clicking on a link in an article will give you a pop-up that says “Your iPhone has been HACKED”. Use at your own risk. I for one, do not trust this app after getting a message telling me my phone is hacked while using the app and clicking to read one of the feature stories. Also many stories have links which when clicked give pop-up advertising offers to enter contests “Win A free Rolex” (better known as give us your email and we will give you some malware). Article summaries use poor grammar and am guessing they must be written by an AI. All around interesting concept but shady execution. Nothing but a waste of time. Update: Developer response is disingenuous and not accurate. Articles, not all, but definitely some of them are linked to scammy/suspicious web sites as I stated in original review. I stand by my original review. And to the developers: I have zero interest in helping you “fix” a problem you deny exits. I have less than zero interest in helping you fix your business model.

Response from developer
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear this. We only link to credible, verifiable sources and we’re not sure how these suspicious websites are showing up. Nevertheless, we are looking into this issue! Please email us on connect@volvmedia.com so we can get in touch with you and fix this ASAP!
Volv is fire
I got Volv bc of my fav tiktoker futurebombs and this app fire recommend give alot of news i really need tho no cap
Slow and Biased
I make app for a living and this one is garbage, I tap one of their click bait headline notifications and it literally takes 30 seconds before I stop seeing a white screen… I have 1gbps WiFi and a brand new iPhone so it’s not me.
Secondly they try to claim to be unbiased but it’s extremely evident what side of the aisle the investors/creators of this app are on (LEFT)
The majority of their mass push notifications are either equivalent to reading a gossip tabloid or an echo chamber of covid/vaccine propaganda
