User reviews

Great app, but adverts need a review

The news content and app itself is great, but the inline adverts are awful. I’m constantly shown pictures of disgusting fungus-covered toenails every single time I use the app. I have no idea why some algorithm thinks I want to see such disgusting imagery, but I think I’ll just start using the website with an ad blocker instead of this app. It’s a real shame, as this shouldn’t be how things are with a serious news app. I think CNA should consider a review of its advert content, as it really is off putting.

Scrolling is buggy

Scrolling is not smooth and jumps around, making reading very annoying

Good

Clear ui, no delays 👍

Response from developer

We appreciate your positive feedback on the clear UI and responsiveness! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Maybe calm down…

An INSANE level of notifications… i have turned off practically everything and i still get pings every 20 seconds.
They push EVERYTHING. Not even only important/major stuff, but practically every story. It’s annoying as hell.
Either allow better customisation of notifications, or realise that not every story needs to be forced to notification.

強烈な差別的扱いを受けた

アカウント作成時に性差別、年齢差別を受けた。少なくとも入力例通りに生年月日を入れてもエラーを吐く現状は治していただきたいものだ。
