Simple and to the point ### 5/5 — Mandatory app for news junkies *2025-12-24, version 153.1.3* This App is great and keeps me updated on the latest breaking news around the world.

Otherwise it works great ### 2/5 — I like the app but…. *2025-09-09, version 153.1.2* I keep getting two notifications for the same thing. ### 5/5 — Miss the CBC *2025-08-14, version 15.0.19* Really enjoy your audio, really miss the CBC, why did you drop that feed, wish you had some representation of the Caribbean world ### 5/5 — Best app! *2025-08-04, version 153.0.18* Always ahead of everyone else with my news. Best news app I have. Ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why am I still seeing ad? *2026-04-26* I paid ¥800 for ad free option. I request refund. **Developer response:** You may need to use the same iCloud account ### 1/5 — Sem alertas *2026-02-11* O app realmente é muito bom. Mas de repente, parou de funcionar os alertas. Já entrei em contato com o suporte e desinstalei, mas não resolveu ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-09-08, version 153.1.2* Every article requires a subscription to the periodical to read it. What is the point of this app? ### 1/5 — Notifications *2025-07-28, version 153.0.18* It’s been a month plus and we still can’t see the notifications stacked ### 1/5 — Doesn’t post regularly. *2025-07-13, version 153.0.18* I’ve noticed that this app only post in drips and drabs. It seems like it stops working on the weekends as well. For some reason. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-06-22, version 153.0.14* I’ve already started using a backup breaking news app because, as others have stated, this app has only been showing the single newest alert (sometimes I’ll be reading a news alert and it will disappear before my eyes because another notification came through). If this isn’t fixed soon, I (and I’m assuming quite a few others) will be deleting and moving on. ### 1/5 — Push notice fail *2025-05-19, version 153.0.14* As others noted, only the newer push notice shows/stays. Considering the whole purpose of this app is to get notices of breaking news, this issue has now made the app pretty much useless without opening it. I hope the devs resolve this. ### 1/5 — Local news first then national will up three stars to a constant five stars *2025-04-25, version 153.0.12* I prefer to see my local news first for Indiana preferably the cities of Mishawaka and South Bend. And then have a choice of listening or watching all the other news for the USA. ### 1/5 — New upgrade broke the Radio feature *2025-03-11, version 153.0.0* The latest upgrade broke the Radio feature. The podcasts stop working when the screen is locked or when the screen is in landscape mode. These issues did not exist prior to the upgrade ### 1/5 — I banned nbc and you sent me there after clicking fox ! *2025-02-28, version 152.3.0* I went to Fox to read about White House meetings and instead of fox you send to legacy media nbc that distorted the news and trashed OUR President! NO WAY will I support you unless this changes! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-06-21, version 153.3.0* Had it for 5 years it’s excellent ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-21, version 153.3.0* Very relevant and informative. ### 5/5 — Important *2026-06-17* Important ### 5/5 — 5 Stars. No Frills *2026-06-12, version 153.3.0* The app just works. It’s not trying to be anything but effective at showing you information. I admire the developer(s) and thank them for creating this. ### 5/5 — So Perfect! *2026-06-03, version 153.1.15* Up to the minute news! No ads! NO PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED when you download the app! ### 5/5 — very good! I love it! *2026-05-05, version 153.1.15* HONESTLY i can’t imagine my life without it now!! ### 5/5 — Superb app, responsive developer! *2026-05-03, version 153.1.15* I have been using this application for a while to keep track of the most up-to-date news across multiple sources. I purchased the upgrade in 2023. Recently, I reached out to the developer as the restore purchase feature was no longer working after I upgraded to a new phone. In a short time, a new version of the application was pushed to the App Store and this resolved my problem. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Da best *2026-04-21, version 153.1.3* Seems to always get the news first. And I like the UI! ### 5/5 — Breaking news *2026-03-21, version 153.1.3* I love Breaking News. Best app I’ve ever had. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-05, version 153.1.3* Such a great, simple app. Does exactly what it says and does it well.
