No option to remove it. Contact our team does nothing, will probably remove it ### 4/5 — Great App *2017-01-17, version 2.7* My app quit working yesterday. What's up? ### 4/5 — Excellent! *2016-02-27, version 2.7* Enjoy it very much! Keep up the good work. ### 3/5 — Good, with potential to be excellent *2016-01-24, version 2.7* With the demise of Pulse News, this is a similar interface that works. Sadly, can't add RSS feeds from any source or customize layout--this would earn it an extra star or two and make it worth $$. Ads are broken--I've tried a 1-month subscription and ads keep popping up. ### 3/5 — Great variety! *2015-04-27, version 2.7* Great variety of Canadian news & tons of great tech blogs & entertainment sites! But as I scroll thru all the blogs to find my favorites, it constantly crashes on my 4S! 😬 Very frustrating, otherwise, it has nice content! 👍🏻 ### 3/5 — App crashes *2015-01-15, version 2.6* Lately app keeps crashing. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Ok but keeps crashing *2014-08-16, version 2.6* Gives me local and world news. Keeps me up to date. Fix the crashing please. ### 1/5 — Ads and more ads *2014-03-18, version 2.5.1* Over use of ads ### 4/5 — Good App! *2014-01-22, version 2.5.1* I really like the app. Occasionally I find the upload of the story to be a bit slow. ### 3/5 — Needs fine tuning *2014-01-09, version 2.5.1* Many sections not updated, gets stuck on occasion; however, has good potential. ### 1/5 — Ads overpower the app *2013-06-20, version 2.2* BS update - you should have told us it was simply to include ads which overpower reading the news. That was not a nice thing to do and this is a paid app. The images they display in the examples above surprisingly do not show how the ads overpower the articles - why is that?? Deleting this now disappointing app... If you enjoy ads overpowering the app itself, then you will be happy knowing you will get what you pay for. If you want to read the news, look elsewhere - you have been warned. UPDATE: you can now pay $3.99 to remove ads - BUT- if the newspaper article has ads, guess what, yup ads are back and just as annoying. Please, spend your money on much better news apps out there. ### 1/5 — please fix *2013-05-16, version 2.1* This ap would be great if it worked! It never updates and shows the same old news for days! ### 3/5 — Good *2013-03-24, version 2.1* Good, but few bugs ( freezing) ### 4/5 — Great news app *2013-02-20, version 2.1* Love the app! Don't like all the advertisements. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why *2025-04-24* I chose my topics and they were ignored I am not interested in sports and do not speak French. Yet first 8 articles were in French and 5 of 8 were sports. ### 1/5 — Other reviews exaggerate *2019-11-20, version 2.7* The other reviews I have read overestimate the value of this app. It is much worse than described ### 1/5 — Not good. *2018-03-16, version 2.7* All you get is the app. Paid $2.79 and don’t get anything. Shows all the newspapers you can get, but you have to pay for a subscription. Junk, ### 1/5 — Takes forever to download *2017-07-11, version 2.7* Still waiting to see my first news page No support Don't waste your money ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-06-06, version 2.7* I had this app and it worked fine. I renewed it as an unlimited subscription and am now unable to access it. It now appears to be a con. Also no access to product support. Don't waste your money! ### 1/5 — Dead *2017-04-29, version 2.7* Or perhaps just resting for a few months. Deleted it anyway. ### 1/5 — Done *2017-04-14, version 2.7* This app doesn't do anything. ### 1/5 — Poor *2017-01-31, version 2.7* Very disappointing app. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Broken app *2017-01-24, version 2.7* Broken app. Since begining of year (2017) none of the newspapers will load. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-01-17, version 2.7* I used this site back when it was free and it worked very nicely. I paid for a 6 month subscription and now it won't load anything. The support page is in Chinese and the email listed for app support came back as deliverable. The only web page I could find was also only in Chinese. It is too bad since it used to be great. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love The Options *2016-11-20, version 2.7* Great way to start my day. You see. I'm a Canadian living in the US. Very little Canadian news coverage down here in the South. Or anything Canadian for that matter. So I greatly appreciate the various sources this app provides. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2016-01-14, version 2.7* Thank you for this terrific overview. ### 5/5 — Brilliant application, excellent service! *2014-01-04, version 2.5.1* I use this app daily to keep in touch with the news back in Canada. Wide range of selection for what to read, local and national ones. ### 5/5 — Great app very organized and informative . *2013-09-08, version 2.2* Well worth it. A great way to be informed with a quick reference to world news ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-03-12, version 2.1* Great app! Love having access to Canadian news on my phone or iPad! ### 5/5 — Best Canadian News App by far! *2013-03-08, version 2.1* . ### 5/5 — Very good *2013-02-06, version 2.1* I don't always have access to newspapers. Especially close to home so I use this often ### 5/5 — Useful *2013-01-26, version 2.0.2* This is my favourite app. I frequently send specific articles to friends so that we can discuss them. Whenever I am away from home, I am still able to access Canadian news. I start my day with it. Elizabeth ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2013-01-04, version 2.0* This is my favourite news app!
