Your fix three days ago didn’t work to well, can’t even get it to open anymore. Yesterday it only appeared on half my screen then when you tapped on it to open up an item it was only half readable.

Doesn’t work

Since your last update 17 hours ago I just keep getting thrown out of the app. This is now useless to me

Sub optimal, more useless, don’t waste your time

Hi all, dropped this app from my viewing. Tired of 15 articles telling me the best ISP in regional USA. tired of opinion and entertainment pieces being put forward or passed off as actual news. Tired of click bait news headlines. Tired of best prices for sales events in USA. Mmmm maybe your AI doesn’t pick up that there is a difference between AUST & USA

Incessant ads

Used to be bearable but after last update there is constant pop up ads with timers, just deleted it!

Zoedog

I don't use social media in any form and this was a reasonable media cross section. To much woke leftist news now which goes unchallenged as many like myself only monitor this site and can’t give any written input. You do need a WHO CARES (WC) section for the social media queens as they are all about themselves. As we all know now Facebook etc are manipulated by outside influences so it’s not a moderator. Nothings changed since I wrote this review probably a year ago. Open up the responses without a so called moderator and you will have a better product. Not much to add as nothing has changed apart from more sites are requesting you pay per view, bit like a peep show. To many trying to sell news.

Since writing this revue I have deleted this news app as it has become highly censored and the comments section deleted. Woke fascists at work here.
BE VERY CAREFUL AS THE SO CALLED MODERATOR COULD BE ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
