I do not see conservative options like fox news to add and or follow? Am I missing it as I like to get all view points….

I guess this app is abandoned

Originally I love this app, which uses RSS to limited sources to only I want to read and have no distractions from unwanted sources or all contents in home are based on what I often read. Compared to Apple News which have full of ads and bugs, and Google News which have poor algorithm that suggest contents to user based on their interest and feedback to the content suggestions. Although it have downside, which automatically generated topics in home always duplicate or unrelated to selected contents and unable to turn off, and addon features in the subscription plan did not very worth to, it still my favourite news app.

However, it seems the app is no longer being supported and abandoned. The app only has one minor update last year since I first installed it. Meanwhile, the developer’s another app, Big Mail 2, has been fully abandoned and died even in TestFlight, and the developer seems also been disappeared since then.

It’s sad this app is abandoned forever, seemly. Maybe it’s time for me to move on to another app.

Crashes on setup

Bad experience, crashes thru setup can’t even go to the end of it.

No app updates since 6 months ago?

There has been no updates since 6 months ago. Great app but has the company stopped working or something and what happened to the big mail Mac and iOS release?

The best news app I’ve ever used

I’ve downloaded almost every news aggregator app out there and there always seems to be something frustrating or missing about them. Not Big News. This is easily the best news aggregator app and it allows to customize the sources I want to follow. Do yourself a favor and subscribe!
