User Reviews: Boring Report

Top reviews

  • Phenomenal

    Exceeded my expectations while respecting my time, for the first time in decades I actually feel smarter after reading the News
  • Great news app

    I love this app's design, and I love that I don't have to pay for the news. Perfectly boring and such an amazing idea. A big thank you to the creator(s) of this app!
  • Exactly as the title says - Boring

    This is extremely useless. All this does is group a bunch of news headlines. There are like 500 apps that do this already. Do something novel other than just being a summary wrapper around ChatGPT.
  • Thank you

    I’ve been using this app for a few months and it really answers the need for non-biased news source.
  • Best way to keep up and stay sane

    I love this app! One of the reasons i avoid reading news is because all the sensationalism and outrage stoking leaves me feeling upset. But this app makes the news very boring, and provides short, bland summaries of each article. I can scroll through the app for ten minutes a day to get a sense of what’s going on without ever feeling annoyed.

    Would also love the ability to filter out articles by keyword.
  • Peace and information

    This app lets you know what is going on without all the clickbait designed to make you mad. It has made staying informed so much better.
  • Good concept but drains battery

    The concept and how the ai removes sensational headlines seems to work well. This is a novel idea. However, it is running my battery down because its running in the background. Ive also changed the setting to NOT run in the background yet it still is. If this was fixed it would be a big improvement.
  • Definitely liking this BUT…

    Really needs the ability to block sources—not just to avoid news sources we don’t like but to block news sources we don’t care about. I don’t want to have to wade through local news from Minnesota when I live in NYC. Also blocking topics. I don’t care about the UK’s Royal Family. Please let me not have to wade through all the headlines the next time a royal has a baby. I hope all this makes sense. Thanks otherwise for a good app!
  • Great start, needs a lot of work

    The premise is excellent and this is a great start. But there needs to be a LOT more customization and options for what you see. I want to filter out certain sources, and I want the “Entertainment” category to be more about movies and TV and less about celebrity gossip. Just needs a lot of work.
  • Not really news.. more like old news?

    I think this idea is great, all of the news articles that are marked "now" or by timestamp are not really in realtime. Sometimes they are 2 to 3 days old. The timestamp appears to be when the article was generated rather than when it was actually published. That makes this more like Boring Old News Report. Moving categories around is really kind of a pointless feature. it would be nice to have a fully combined feed with filterable categories. Also, some of the news sources are hardly what I would consider reputable if not completely unknown? Is it possible to filter out the unknowns?
