### 5/5 — Great App For Any Elite Fan

*2016-08-31, version 1.5*

This app works just as described. It's a clean, simple way to stay up to date on everything going on in the Elite Dangerous galaxy.

### 5/5 — Straight forward, works well

*2016-06-01, version 1.5*

Exactly what you expect, all the latest galnet new without any clutter.

### 5/5 — As advertised, and even has Pop preview

*2016-02-12, version 1.2*

Actually one of the better (and few) Elite: Dangerous apps out there. Let's you keep up with GalNet when you can't be in game. I use it regularly.
Simple, clean interface. Smooth response. Now, add PowerPlay info, and you'll be cooking with gas!

### 5/5 — Useful addition to my app Arsenal.

*2016-01-18, version 1.1*

In all seriousness, this app is amazing for those days where you're just too lazy to log in/ don't have the time.

I mean, yeah, you could just go to the GalNet website from your phone, but this is just ease of access.

All in all, very useful.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2016-03-30, version 1.4*

Loaded app and it basically showed a blank screen with "Galnet News" written on it. This app clearly isn't tested and should be removed from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2016-03-30, version 1.4*

All I'm getting is a loading screen. Nothing populates. Hopefully this can be addressed at some point.

### 2/5 — No longer updates

*2020-04-29, version 1.16*

It was a great ap in the beginning. I can only guess the developer has abandoned the ap. It no longer updates the Gal. new news.

### 3/5 — Do you need twitter to use this app?

*2018-12-11, version 1.11*

Do you need twitter to use this app?

### 3/5 — Nice Galnet news reader, except ....

*2016-02-29, version 1.2*

Been looking for a nice simple Galnet news reader for ages. Every single RSS feed reader I've tried seems to screw it up somehow. Anyway, this is close except .... it seems to miss off the first sentence of the article (e.g. 27 Feb 3302 article re: meta-allows begins with "Since then ..." rather than "Last month ...". Any chance of a fix?

### 4/5 — Excellent App Overall

*2023-06-01, version 1.16*

Please, please please can we have notifications!

### 4/5 — Very cool

*2022-08-28, version 1.16*

Please provide font option, or provide one that more closely matches game. Also, prevent screen lock option would be awesome.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2020-12-11, version 1.16*

I'd say this app is great, you can check galnet wherever you are whatever your doing, my one complaint (and the reason it's 4 stars) is that it doesn't send you notifications when a new article is out, other than that it's a great app

### 4/5 — Simple but useful

*2016-03-06, version 1.3*

Useful app on the go to keep in touch with Galnet

### 4/5 — Keep an eye on GalNet wherever you are

*2016-03-05, version 1.3*

Basic but functional GalNet news reader. Stay in touch with the Elite: Dangerous universe when you're on the go. Much appreciated!

### 5/5 — gets the job done

*2026-07-11, version 1.16*

and thats good enough for me

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-07-21, version 1.16*

I haven’t been able to play Elite for quite a long while but this app is great for keeping up with events in the game’s lore

### 5/5 — Amazing, still works as for 2023

*2023-09-07, version 1.16*

Great app! Still uploads all the new articles that come out as if 2023!

### 5/5 — Fun little app

*2023-05-29, version 1.16*

Fun little app, makes the game feel alive. More inclined to read the news reports on my phone than anywhere else.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2021-12-04, version 1.16*

I love this community and the fact that there is an app for the news in game is wonderful

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2021-11-10, version 1.16*

I love the gui and the interaction. Overall, it is a fairly straightforward and well programmed app. I have not seen a single bug. It’s nice to have this up while docked at a station or flying through hyperspace. Maybe I’ll get the dev a large drink. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-10-13, version 1.16*

Great app for checking on Galnet news when you aren’t in game. It has a great interface and is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Extremely impressed!

*2019-05-05, version 1.12*

This app has an amazing GUI and an even better response time. Everything is quick and simple and easy to learn. 

I do recommend possibly adding two tabs, one for the stories you mark as read, and one for new stories. 
This is just a recommendation, I love the app and can’t express how impressed I am with it.

### 5/5 — Great content!

*2018-07-02, version 1.8*

It might be one of the only apps available for ED players but the quality is superb. Thanks a lot for the content.

### 5/5 — 👍🏽

*2016-11-07*

Nice simple way to read Galnet. Wish I found this app earlier.
