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 — Killed by Ads *2024-11-03, version 5.0.9* After years of valued use, this has been made unusable. Unusable, ads after every article and cannot clear them. Deleting Disappointed ### 1/5 — Too much adds *2024-10-22* Annoying. Uninstalled. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with our app didn't meet your expectations due to the ads. Our team is dedicated to making improvements, and your input is invaluable in helping us do so. If you have specific concerns or need assistance, please reach out to our support team. We appreciate your patience and support. ### 1/5 — 5 ads in and still haven’t read a single article *2024-03-11, version 4.1.4* Ruined by ads. Impossible to use getting multiple ads before I get to a single article. Have to uninstall because it’s so hard to use. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-06-13, version 4.1.3* I opened the app for the first time in (months? Over a year?) and was immediately shown an ad for a crappy toss your money in this hole sort of game. Deleted. ### 4/5 — Great articles - Too many ads *2022-12-24* Great app! A lot of very informative articles that offer valuable insights in the cyber industry. The ONLY bad aspect of this app is the constant ads. I was just reading a security article about malvertising on the app, and seconds later a shady ad is presented to me from the app. If that can be fixed, this app is a 5 star! Thank you guys! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We are busy updating our ad settings and really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Though we need to run ads to keep the app free, we do offer an affordable ad free option! ### 1/5 — Have to watch ads nearing a minute *2022-12-08, version 4.1.0* Too much forced ad to watch every time I open this app. Not worth the time. ### 1/5 — The cyber security news app you need *2022-10-15, version 4.0.5* Edit: changing rating from 5 stars to 1 star because the ads have become overwhelming and ad-ridden apps are typically accompanied with security issues. Previous review: I use this app daily as my primary source for cyber security news. Fresh content, common sense app features, and it’s free. ### 1/5 — Bug bug bug. What a shame! *2022-08-25* Since 3 releases, when I click to an article, your application stops to run. Why? Because I block some DNS domains (user’s tracking or ads). ### 4/5 — My go to security app but… *2022-07-23* It’s buggy. Most recently I cannot get past the advertisement. The ad shows for five seconds then the “x” button pops up to close the ad but tapping the “x” does nothing. Can’t get into the app. **Developer response:** Mrcrowley74, thanks for your review! We are working to make the ad experience acceptable to all, if you have a screenshot of the ad you mentioned please send it to hello@loyal.app and we will ensure it works or remove it. We do offer an affordable ad free option as well. ### 4/5 — bonne application pour s’informer *2022-06-13* très bonne application ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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.

Ads are ridiculously long and require multiple taps to clear. ### 1/5 — Ad overload *2025-01-12* I was interested in this app based on topics and reviews. Immediately after downloading and installing I was forced to sit through a game app which couldn’t be closed. I spent the next few minutes trying to view topics to see if this app would be informative for my needs but was hit with numerous additional ads. I have no problem supporting developers and paying for ad free versions but I cannot even evaluate to see if this app is worth the contribution. I’m deleting it. **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working diligently to resolve it.
