New Artifact
Yahoo News has become my go-to app for staying informed. The mix of curated headlines and AI-driven personalization keeps me updated on the topics I care about. The app is fast, user-friendly, and free of unnecessary clutter. In a world of overwhelming information, Yahoo News strikes the perfect balance between breadth and depth, delivering quality journalism in a digestible format. All of this thanks to the integration of the Artifact app.

Made a Former Artifact User Very Happy
I used to love Artifact, and was very sad when it shut down. I never got into the social features much, but I really enjoyed the news reader. Yahoo pretty much brought back everything I loved about Artifact. My only complaint is that some articles don’t render correctly, and there is no way to get to the direct article link. Viewing it on the web just views it in the Yahoo News web version. I would love a “view original” option.

Getting there…
I was a HUGE fan of Artifact before they called it quits and sold to Yahoo. I’m glad to see Yahoo News embodying the best features of Artifact. That said, I feel like it needs just a bit more refinement before it becomes truly great.
It seems completely arbitrary when the AI summaries for articles are available or not. I’d love to see these be consistently available. Also, having natural sounding AI text to speech would be a huge benefit for getting the news while multitasking.
This app is on its way to greatness. I hope it gets there.

Love the Artifact integration but Read Later feature is broken
I was an Artifact fan from day one so when yahoo acquired it and eventually integrated the features I was super excited. The personalized news aggregation part seems to work fine but for at least a few weeks the read later bookmarking feature has been totally broken which makes the app much less useful. Other than that it’s great and I’ll re review the app if and when they ever get around to fixing it

Yahoo is 24/7 Propaganda
This site regularly blocks comments from conservative. It’s parent company is infiltrated by CCP State Infofmatuon police. They are tasked with removing pro western ideas from Yahoo. Indeed The same algorithmic programs to catch fact based and pro freedom writings censor and omit them run here on US Yahoo servers.
The information distributed in Yahoo News is entirely authored for the purpose of protecting the corrupt totalitarian regime which now rules America. Federal Agencies deliver their political propaganda by co-opting Yahoos executives directives to employees .
Yahoo is party to the 2020 election interference which led to installing a totalitarian “Democrat Party” gang of thugs which is currently consolidating its power by waging a campaign of media lies against its opponents.
Boycot Yahoo: its is an enemy of free people accross the globe.

Re-reviewed
It’s poor practice when developers make drastic changes to their app such that it causes users to struggle to use it as they have been doing for months or longer. This is the case with the July 2024 update. They should warn us with an email to briefly explain the changes🤨. It took me a long time to remove all the trash click bait magazines from my news feed. Seems to be working better now.

App went from hero to zero
The prior version of this app was my go to news app and had everything I wanted. It was laid out like a customizable newspaper with your main news section, world news, sports, local news, etc. that you could rearrange, add, or modify. You could also set up sections with specific news sources. I loved it because it was like a newspaper, but it also gave me a balanced version of what was happening from different sources, different perspectives, and allowed you to cover almost every categories of the news you could possibly imagine. It was glorious.
The new version appears to be designed in order to eliminate your choices. Now there are FAR less categories to choose from, the layout is muddled (the sections all blend together), a lot of the categories are complete fluff, and there is no way to choose specific news sources. Instead of showing you news by sections, it appears to be pushing whatever the most popular clickbait story is. It also looks like it is trying to imitate a social media feed, just with all news stories picked by Yahoo. It also has tiny font and too much AI bullet points built in. The new update is just a dumbed down version of the Yahoo news app.
I guess I’ll go back to my old news app sources until they fix this pile of hot garbage that is their new update (or give you the choice to use a traditional layout)…they completely ruined this one.

So biased an educated person can’t read it.
Yahoo news is so objective and full of liberal nonsense that facts are often hard to find. Can’t journalists just report the facts and let people make their own judgments. Take the “migrant” crisis for instance. The vast majority of Americans , liberal or conservative, want the borders closed to illegal entry, but Yahoo reporters must spend the rhetoric of far left liberals and try to slant the crime, the vast cost to the American taxpayer and the overcrowding of schools and resources in a positive light. There is talk of cutting social security benefits and we have to pay to feed and house non Americans? This country is messed up.

New format is awful
1st you must allow to have the app to track you or it doesn’t work.
2. Clicking onto the article and reading it is the thing of the past. Now you have to click on the subject and than to whatever article you want to read.
3. The internet format you read the articles in is worse and I don’t understand why they changed it from the app format.
4. They took away the comment section even though it’s available on the website.
5. Just deleted the app and recommended you do the same.

Awesome update, love it
This is a great update and it’s smart and intuitive. It’s easy to use and picks out great stories to read, post and share. I love the the reader levels they give out for reading multiple stories. The only complaint that I have is I’ve been a yahoo user for 20 plus years and when I got my first level up it says member since 2024 even after I logged into my account. I’d like it to show the real number because I have a little pride in my yahoo time.. GREAT UPDATE.. Keep it up.
