  • Nice

    Pretty good news service. But to much ads.
  • Massive battery drain under 11.4

    As in MASSIVE.
  • Terrible

    A lot of the news stories are planted stories. Misspelled words and the worst is the toxic chat section that is censored not by language but by the moderators political beliefs.
  • A pirate ship has hijacked your app. Aaarrrh matey

    Annoying popup for a cruise line has driven me to distraction. Can’t be clicked out of, reemerges in defiance. Your app suffers as a result. Seeking another aggregator.
  • Pop up video ads for Winstar Cruises

    I now keep on getting pop up video ads for Winstar Cruises. The frequency increases the more I use Newser. Worse, the video never completes; it restarts after a few seconds.
  • Used to love it, now deleted.

    11second pop up (?add) of a barking dog every time I open a story???? Ridiculous. Until they fix it, it won’t be on my phone.
  • Pop up ads

    This was my favorite news app, but now the pop up ads make it unusable.
  • Used to be my go-to news app...now too many intrusive ads

    I’ve been a Newser website and app fan for years and told countless people about Newser...however, no more. Their app used to be streamlined with appropriate ads between news story paragraphs. Now when I open the app and click on a story, I’m either redirected to the App Store to download something, or I get a pop up full screen video (this time it’s just a video of a dog looking around...really).

    The developer response is that ‘these ads are not sanctioned’...that’s nonsense. I can’t blame Nwerser like many other news publishers or aggregates who are struggling to pull revenue in with advertisements - so of course they’re sanctioned - the Newser app team just hasn’t been able to roll them out effectively or is sloppy in their product testing.

    I keep trying to give the Newser app the benefit of the doubt because the developers seem to respond to comments and feedback...but the issues just seem to return again and again. Thank you for the years of an outstanding product, Newser. Unfortunately (and for some time now), that is no longer the case.

  • Irritating

    I used to love this app until it started randomly opening the App Store on its own. Pretty frustrating to be reading an article and then the App Store magically appears.

    I'm deleting it until this is fixed

    Update: I reinstalled the app since I like the premise of Newser. Recently, though, I am getting a pop up of a puppy every time I open a story.

    I’m officially done with this P.O.S.

  • Recently deleted

    I loved this app for several years, but today I started getting pop up videos that repeatedly returned after closing and restarting the app. I thought it was an issue on my end, but after I restarted my phone and opened the app, the vids returned after visiting one story. Look, I get it...this is a free app and advertising pays the bills. Incessant pop up adds, however, ruin the use of the app itself, which gets it deleted from my phone, which means no clicks or eyes on the ads anyway. Thank you for years of good performance, but at this point I’m out.
