### 4/5 — Where has the widget gone?

*2025-04-18, version 8.2*

This is a great app. But with a new - well, secondhand - iPad mini 5 with iOS 18, the widget didn’t transfer from my old iPad mini 2. Is it still accessible from the app?

### 2/5 — Diabolical—Can’t Restore Purchases

*2025-04-13, version 8.2*

I have this app on my old iPhone 7 Plus. I paid to have the ads removed and it’s great! 

Unfortunately, on any new device I can’t restore purchases. It says “Already Purchased?” at the bottom of the screen with no further text or clickable link. The only thing it allows you to do is purchase again. Having to repurchase the full AD-FREE version for every device that I install the app on is criminally manipulative—I wish it weren’t the case—because it truly is a unique and excellent app (even 7 years later). Total bummer—so I advocate everyone look elsewhere for an aggregate crypto news app, unfortunately.

### 5/5 — FABULOUS

*2025-03-05, version 8.2*

GREAT BITCOIN NEWS PLATFORM. THANK YOU

### 5/5 — Used this app since i saw it absolutely the best

*2024-03-06, version 8.2*

Best source of crypto news in a consolidated form.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past ads

*2023-01-26, version 8.2*

Anytime you want to see a full article, an ad pops up, and there is no way to get past it.  The button to skip the ad is not working, or too far up to be tappable.  
I understand the need to do ads, but they’ve made the app itself unusable. This use to be my go-to app for crypto news, but I am going to delete it if this issue is not addressed.

### 2/5 — Too many adds.

*2022-08-14, version 8.2*

Used to love this app, and I still kind of do. It is frustrating because it really is the best blockchain news source, however, you are walking on the verge of poor service quality. This is because most people are spending more time watching adds or waiting for them to disappear, than actually being able to utilize your service for what it is intended for, the dissemination of crypto news......or is that really your companies mission afterall? I paid the fee to get rid of adds and I have not noticed any difference. You are blatantly stealing money. You need to re-focus your business model and put an end to this nonsense.

### 5/5 — BTC News is Fantastic

*2022-04-08, version 8.2*

Great newsfeed that is remarkable with their updates. Customer support (Tal Barnea) is wonderful and so responsive!

### 5/5 — A-1 news . Every piece of news all in one place

*2022-02-11, version 8.1*

Perfect.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-01-10, version 8.1*

Many Faux informations !dissatisfy
Bloody nasty information on btc new very inaccurate info 
Btc try to manipulate the real news.

### 1/5 — Too many junk ads

*2021-08-17, version 8.1*

Worst are the full screen ads. I deleted this app 1/5 star.
