Leave a Review Reuters News
Thought I’d give Reuters another try
It used to be a 5-star app. I reloaded it to see if they improved accessibility. Today, I opened ONE article and was blocked. They said I reached my daily limit and had to register. Huh? Really?
Register my info for “a more personalized experience”? Heck no! Sounds like a sales pitch, not news, to me. So I’ve deleted this app. Footnote: The previous issue from my review (below) was eventually resolved, which reminds me that I should shower praise on my favorite apps when things are good. Regrets, Reuters! You offered an excellent service for years! I usually have no trouble with the app, but like a few of the more recent reviewers, I’m running into the same issue. When I return to the headlines after reading an article in detail, I get bounced back to the top rather than scrolled down to where I left off. It’s so annoying I close Reuters and skip to another news app.Show lessEarlGreyNoCup

Hi, thanks for your feedback. This issue with being redirected to the top of the today page shouldn't happen. Could you please email me your details at dan.v@tr.com ?No More Widget
I have not been a fan of the latest updates, but I kept the app on my phone because Reuters is a non-bias source for news. That all said the last half dozen updates have been terrible. The new interface is harder to navigate and not as easy to read as the older versions. Another big reason I initially used this app was because I could put a news widget on my homepage. Now all of a sudden the widget has been removed. Very disappointing. It seems as though the developers updates are taking features away in an effort to streamline the look and feel of the app. All those efforts have resulted in an app that I use less, because features have been removed and it is more difficult to navigate to see the news I’m interested in. I went ahead and downloaded the AP News app which unfortunately does not have a news widget, but seems to be easier to navigate and organized better to make for easy reading, and navigation. I’ll continue to have both on my phone, but I find myself using the Reuters news app less and less every month. if they brought back the homepage widget, I would probably use this app more.Show lessJohnPhx1971

Hi, thanks for you feedback. Please note that in version 6.3.0 we've brought back both the Reuters 60 mins video and the Widget too. Update to the latest app version and let me know if you have any further feedback at dan.v@tr.comWhere’s the Auto Video Player??
I have been using Reuters as my primary news source for 6 years now because as an American… our national news sources are nauseating and annoying. Reuters with its very fact-based and neutral reporting of the events is so refreshing for an American like me. I truly love and rely on this platform to keep me informed.
But I’m writing this because I’m heart broken to see that with the new update they decided to go with a “social media style” scroll through the videos instead of the autoplay feature they used to have. I loved the autoplay. I would put it on in the morning while I get ready. Now I have to scroll to each video it only plays for 10-15 seconds then I click it, an ad plays and then the video. Then back out to the scrolling and start the whole process over again. Frustrating. Please, bring back the auto play for videos. I’m totally ok with watching an ad in between each one, if I can just have the option to let all the videos play. Thanks!Show lessScurvyIrving
