Great
I have a very short attention span, and they give info in small bite size pieces, enough to keep my attention. It also gives info from several sites, so it is very balanced in bias.
Great app!
I really love this app. It’s extremely helpful for me, and I’m sure a lot of others, to stay up to date on current events. I tend to have a hard time watching the news, or reading full articles. With this I’m still aware of what’s going on and if I see something interesting or that I want to know more about I can do additional research on it.
Overall I love the style and simplicity of this app as it gives you your news without the unnecessary stuff

i LOVE this app!
bite sized news reports and information is so easy to consume, the games are addicting, and visually appealing! new favorite app! my only critique is that when you reopen the app after closing out of the tab, it takes a few seconds to load back up. otherwise its great!
Amazing!!
This app helps me with everything! I can’t believe someone hasn’t come up with something like this before!

Nice! butttt I think it needs more color everything looks boring without color even if it's just neutral tones those look good too!
A Great Concept…
I really enjoy this app’s simplicity and functionality. You can easily focus on topics that interest you and inform yourself about them. They seem to propose relatively unbiased views (if not skewed left). However…
1. They don’t always use the highest quality sources as the basis for what they write. I don’t think citing a tiktok can be considered “news” most of the time, unless it’s a very unique situation.
2. Contrary to CF’s advertising, there are still paywalls. When you click to read articles behind the blurbs it functions the same as trying to view them on a browser. You still have to pay to read subscription-based news outlets.
3. The app is still in it’s youth, and pretty glitchy. The games are completely broken and crash my app whenever i click on them.
4. As a Gen Z person, I am not a huge fan of their slang usage when writing the captions and summaries. To some extent it’s fun, i get that, but to me personally it makes the app seem jokey. I’d love if they could pare back on that and just have simple summaries without using “totes” or an exclamation point every five seconds.
All this said though, CF has great potential and I look forward to seeing the conferatu team develop it more in the future.

Excellent way to catch up and stay informed!
This app is amazing! It keeps me well informed and well versed on all topics. Great job!
Has Promise
I was using this app daily until I began noticing a pattern of news stories not being up-to-date and stories with bad links.
I like the attitude, spirit and look of the app, but until those issues can be addressed, I am deleting.

Excellent Summary of News
Thank-you for your curation of top news in one place. You have created an excellent news app.
Difficult to understand
I love this app. The idea of cf is great, don’t get me wrong. But most of the time it’s hard to know what I’m reading, the titles are very vague and it’s frustrating. Also, the lowercase letters are cool, but annoying at times as well. It’d be great to have more customizability in the future for some of these problems.
