### 4/5 — New GUI needs some fine tuning

*2026-02-15, version 7.4.9*

The App is great. Love the new headline view, however the headlines don’t rotate when you swipe. They actually open. The rotate headline gui needs some updating.

### 1/5 — Horrible Update

*2025-12-29, version 7.4.9*

This used to be the best app to get cybersecurity news, and now it’s ruined. I paid for ad free and with this update it’s all ads. Opened 3 “JIRA Tickets “ with no response. Been using for 9+ years, Loyal is losing a loyal customer.

### 1/5 — Ads galore

*2025-08-13, version 5.0.25*

### 1/5 — Soooo many ads make it useless

*2025-04-16, version 5.0.20*

Soooo many ads make it useless

### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL Ads are offensively bad

*2025-04-13*

It is impossible to use the app, ads cover all content, last for 30 seconds plus and appear every 15 seconds or so.

### 1/5 — Killed by Ads

*2025-03-23*

After years of valued use, this has been made unusable by short sighted use of ads.

Unusable, ads after every article and cannot clear them.

Deleting 

Disappointed

*2025-03-14*

It is too annoying and too many advertisements and subscriptions is very costly, I suggest use feedly and create your list.
