### 2/5 — Useless app

*2026-01-20*

Most links are to stories behind paywalls

### 1/5 — Too many pop up ads & paywalls

*2025-07-13*

Tapping a headline gets you a list of publications that carried the article but tapping to actually read the article typically leads to either a paywall or a barrage of pop up ads.

### 1/5 — Nothing but ads now

*2024-12-25*

This app started out as good but these days when I try to read a story all I get is ad after ad after ad and I never get to read the story. I am deleting this app from my phone because it is now useless.

### 5/5 — Great Info

*2024-11-04*

Always look forward to keeping up to date with Cruising. Keep up the great work!

### 2/5 — Adds

### 3/5 — Too much RCL!

*2024-02-10*

Is there a filter we can apply to the recent news postings?  It seems RCL gave the press a free cruise on the condition they write an article about it, and this app is useless in finding real news because of it.

### 4/5 — 1st Time Cruiser

*2023-04-11*

Great way to stay informed.

### 1/5 — Can’t Read Articles If you don’t Subscribe to Newspapers

*2022-11-29*

You have great stories to tell but you can not share if you don’t buy a subscription to the newspapers. Is there another way to get the stories out ?

### 1/5 — Subscriptions

*2022-09-11*

It’s very hard to read any of the news stories on this app because you have just copied a new story from like the Wall Street Journal etc. and they all want us to become members of their electronic membership. I don’t know why you can’t share the article and give credit to the source without us having to join or the article will be great out and you cannot read it
