But some ARE very local but don’t give specifics. Also, clicking on some stories brings up scam screens that I can’t get off. Now started getting scam texts. ### 3/5 — Breaking News *2025-07-15, version 2.1.3* Jeffries drops Epstein bomb: Trump Either ‘Lied’ Or There’s A ‘Cover-Up’ How 02 With Kevin ### 4/5 — MANQUE DES INFOS REGIIONALES *2025-06-11* Je suis en manque des informations concernant ma région autour de FRÉJUS et SAINT-RAPHAËL ### 1/5 — Was ein Schrott *2024-07-24, version 2.1.3* Man kann teilweise gar keine News öffnen weil kleine Werbefenster das überdecken. Schafft man es doch wird man so mit Werbung vollgemüllt das ist unglaublich. Schlechtere App geht eigentlich gar nicht mehr ### 1/5 — Too many pop up ads *2024-07-08, version 2.1.3* Too many adds and they pop while you’re in the middle of an article. ### 1/5 — Too Much Ad interruption. *2024-06-28, version 2.1.3* Too much Ad interruption, making reading of news becoming a task ### 4/5 — Dead on *2024-06-14, version 2.1.3* Tells you all the news with respect for the truth, not a version of it. Speaks frankly about Sheinbaum & Modi, and steps on toes in Myanmar. Elections in S. Africa are revealing. Keep up. ### 1/5 — Aucune modération *2024-05-03* Donc un simple avis ou une simple réaction finit en insulte et remarque déplacée Aucun échange cordial possible avec les autres utilisateurs car aucune limite n’est fixée ### 4/5 — Only News app that isn’t censorship crazy *2024-04-28, version 2.1.3* All the other news apps like yahoo and News Break will censor my comments. This is the only app that won’t all of my censor my comments. ### 2/5 — A little one sided *2024-04-06, version 2.1.3* Everything is not correct. One sided politically. What happened to accurate reporting. ### 1/5 — Wake up *2024-03-18, version 2.1.3* How about trying to report facts for a change ### 1/5 — 좌편 *2024-01-17* 중립지키는 언론이아니라 좌편향의 주빨같아 실망 ### 4/5 — Oso Ona (muy bueno) *2024-01-14, version 2.0.13* Agur ### 1/5 — Pas terrible *2024-01-02* Vraiment trop trop de pubs ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Negative slants *2026-08-15, version 2.1.3* I read a lot of news. I found more articles-tho factual-are written with a negative slant, with most being personal quips and complaints sprinkled in. Too much distraction in the articles, instead of just the facts. Writers not journalists…there is a difference. Deleted after 3 days… ### 1/5 — Ads! *2026-04-11, version 2.1.3* The amount of ads to read an article is ridiculous! I mean you can’t skip them and to get to one article you go through3 30-45 second ads? Longer than it takes to read the story! ### 1/5 — Triste *2026-03-30* Il y a de moins en moins d’articles. Ce site est voué à mourir car infesté de trolls. Mais il faut y rester pour les contrer. N’allez surtout pas sur ce site infesté de racistes, membres d’ultra droite, trolls, pseudos russes ou pro Poutine et j’en passe. Ne perdez votre temps ### 1/5 — Tell the truth *2025-11-02, version 2.1.3* The worst bias news ever . I don’t want your opinions I want the facts! Tell the truth not your twisted version of the truth. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2025-09-29, version 2.1.3* Loads of ads, news pieces just take you to another platform where you then have to agree to information collection or pay.. lousy ### 1/5 — Very poor selection of content *2025-09-25, version 2.1.3* It’s a mishmash of non-news and news articles mixed together. ### 1/5 — Just pop ups *2025-08-05, version 2.1.3* Terrible ### 1/5 — Another leftist rag. *2025-03-26, version 2.1.3* See the title. Where will I find unbiased news. I do not want left or right. Just the facts. ### 1/5 — Review *2024-08-14, version 2.1.3* If it’s a fair election, Trump will NOT lose!!!!! ### 1/5 — Agenda pushing app *2024-08-10, version 2.1.3* One of the worst agenda pushing apps out there sensoring comments and pushing only what it wants seen. I would rather watch the bbc and that’s saying something!. Would be nice you actually publish reviews! I’ve had enough of this crapple phone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great news *2025-08-20, version 2.1.3* One of the best news in town accurate in time. ### 5/5 — On top of your game, don't start selling groceries your safeway. *2024-07-19, version 2.1.3* The amount of things I came just flipping Thur in regards to Seattle wa. Where I was living caught fire On Elliott while I found it here with so great job.. With loads of local stuff, you would not but see it. You get to the meat of the matter for me.
