best news app

After artifact shut down I was a bit lost where to go but Ruby has by and large filled that gap for me, imo the experience is much better than any news I would consume from twitter, instagram, Facebook, etc… 6/5 stars!

The best news app ever!

This app is so well designed, I love it! The app icon selection is really good too. Highly recommend!!!

App does not work

I am unable to load any news articles. Keeps giving an error of unable to fetch news articles. I have tried different internet connections and uninstalling/reinstalling. Still not working. It appears I am not the only one that is having this issue. Hopefully the developer will fix this issue.

Response from developer

Issue has been fixed temporarily, and we're working on a long term patch that's already been deployed on visionOS and will soon be on the iOS version. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience. Update: 2.1 now fixes the issue permanently.

Unresponsive developer and buggy app …

App has a limited number of articles at any given time. Right now, the technology articles don’t work right. I emailed the developer several times with no reply. Disappointed at the arrogance of the developer in not replying and the limited nature of the app. Do not buy. Do not support.

Waste of 89p

App doesn’t load - please can I have my 89p back?

Response from developer

Sorry that you had this experience, some things regarding the API happened that were out of our control. With the launch of Ruby 2.0, everything should be very solid - would you be willing to give it another go and revise your review? Also feel free to reach out to me at apps@michaelb.nyc to talk about anything.

Favorite app but not working

This was my favorite news app for a long time, great features and interface and the ‘save for later’ and trending/search section are awesome aspects.

This should be a 5 star review, but it’s been over a month since I’ve been able to use the app. Nothing loads anymore and every time I open the app I get an error message.

Please fix the app! Been 4 weeks :(

Hey there, would you be willing to check out the latest version - Ruby 2.0 - and update your review? I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to reach out to me on email using apps@michaelb.nyc to discuss any concerns. Thanks!

Incredible

Best news app ever

Doesn’t load

News tab doesn’t even load!

Response from developer

Hey. I’m sorry you’re having this issue. More than likely it’s an issue with your internet connection being unable to contact the API where the News is loaded from. Contact me at michael@peroxaan.com for support. Thank you!

Favorite news app

One of my favorite news apps. Simple design makes it very smooth and easy to navigate without being too simple or losing key features.

Really great app from a really great developer!

This app is one of the amazing apps from the developer and continues to amaze me with how efficient in both performance and design his apps are.
