AI top of the line. ### 5/5 — Pidgeon es excelente!! *2025-02-02, version 5.7* Pidgeon es una muy buena aplicación para leer noticias de una manera limpia sin publicidad molesta o alguna otra distracción, subdiseño es muy limpio e intuitivo, ademas puedes fitrar las noticias en diferentes temas. ### 5/5 — La idea es genial *2025-02-01* Me encanta esta aplicación y la idea fantástica una manera diferente de por fin en las noticias. Lo único que espero que lo traduzca al español y no tengamos que traducir las noticias con con la propia aplicación pero bueno mientras tanto lo hacen es una alternativa que se puede usar ### 5/5 — News Brief Made Simple, Elegant, and Private! *2025-02-01, version 5.7* Pidgeon is the best AI partner in News! You can access a Digest of the Day which includes the ~40 top articles of the day from around the world. Don’t want to know what’s going on in a specific region that’s local to only that region? Disable it in Settings. Want to learn more about Today in News for Gaming or Entertainment categories? Enable the Category filter and check out the News on a per-category basis. Want to check for new articles? You can do that too, with a refresh button at the top to make staying on top of the News a breeze that’s powered by intelligent AI and using a gorgeous interface that makes checking the News a fun interaction to lessen the burden of checking the News. On top of all these great features, the News can be perused in a format similar to short-form content platforms, where you can swipe up to view the next article in a set of articles, such as when checking out a specific News Category filter. There’s also a Search feature in case you briefly see an article in the app and later want to find it again and learn more without having to re-find the article all over again. Last, but certainly not least, Pidgeon does not collect any personal data, meaning you can peruse the News without having your personal data needlessly collected. This app truly is a brilliant execution of AI-powered News articles in an elegant and fun format. Thank you StreetCoding Ltd for making such an indispensable app for catching up with the latest in News developments! ### 5/5 — Stay informed *2025-01-30, version 5.7* LOVE this app! I’ve tried a few news readers in the past but I’ve always been disappointed by the number of ads or random paywalls. This app synthesizes the top stories for you and makes it super easy to know everything happening in a few short paragraphs. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2024-11-24, version 4.0* Great concept for reading news that otherwise I would miss. Summaries are always on point and I can quickly scan through multiple news in seconds. ### 5/5 — A must have app for news reading *2024-11-19, version 3.0* I recently downloaded this news reading app, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The interface is incredibly modern and well-designed, making it an absolute pleasure to use. The app is curated with such care, providing a seamless and enjoyable experience ### 5/5 — Well designed app *2024-11-19, version 3.0* This is a app that has the user’s convenience in mind. News at your front door in bite sized easily digestible format. You control the type of news you want and from which regions too. ### 5/5 — 5 Stars – A Game Changer *2024-11-13, version 2.0* I’ve been using this app for a while now, and I have to say, it’s absolutely fantastic! As someone who needs to read quickly having not much time this app has saved me hours of time. ### 5/5 — amazing *2024-11-13, version 2.0* Super user-friendly and really easy to navigate. Everything works smoothly. Highly recommend it!” ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-11-08, version 1.0* This app is amazing, it saves me the hassle of finding articles to read. The UI is modern and very well organised, I can’t wait to see more features in future ### 5/5 — Perfect for keeping up to date with minimal effort *2024-11-08, version 1.0* I was looking for something like this. I don’t like spending too much time opening multiple news sites to find out what to read and with Pidgeon I don’t get the annoying ads anymore, news are summarised and compact. The filters are amazing to get control of what I want to read. Keep up the great work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake promotion *2025-02-03, version 5.7* False lifetime free promotion, defaulted to annual subscription, refund my subscription fee. ### 2/5 — Lack of important features *2026-04-14, version 6.3* Users can customize themes, and the app will automatically search the web for relevant news articles related to the themes. In addition to English, news content must also be provided in Chinese. ### 4/5 — Really nice *2025-02-09, version 5.7* Nicely designed, with good summaries. Would be grateful to see the following updates: 1. Ability to set a static background colour 2. More tech-related articles, especially those relating to cyber security 3. Ability to re-order categories 4. Ability to add custom feeds via RSS (import OPML) 5. Move the metadata row immediately below the headline, rather than right at the end ### 4/5 — So far so good. Unbiased and clean summaries. *2025-02-01, version 5.7* App looks like it’s in its early stages of development, with simple layout and clean summaries without the unbiased language. Few visuals which need a little refining and a bug when trying to ‘share Pidgeon’ from the settings. Just used the main app sharing feature with iPhone instead. Great thing is it gave me £0.00 lifetime membership so when the app does develop, I’ll have full access to test all features. Looking forward to using this app. ### 4/5 — 希望增加中文支持 *2025-02-01* 希望增加中文支持 ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-02-01, version 5.7* Tapping on the unfamiliar words for the lookup feature would be the perfect addition :)) hope it will come sooner ?! ### 5/5 — Thank you dev! *2026-05-16, version 6.3* For continuing to update this app! Great work! ### 5/5 — 增加中午资讯 *2026-05-09* 建议能增加中午资讯内容，或者增加翻译功能。 ### 5/5 — It Was a Five Before *2026-04-18, version 6.3* And it remains a five even after adding a paywall (which I haven’t paid, yet). I noticed AI images creeping in, but I’ve enjoyed the app since it launched. Once it’s light enough in the room*, I’ll snag a Lifetime subscription. It’s a well-made app. *phone can’t see my face to pay and I’m trying to sleep in. ### 5/5 — Super App … *2026-03-17* … jedoch würde ich auch gerne Nachrichten aus meiner Heimatstadt Bamberg sehen. Es wäre gut, wenn man regionale Nachrichten einbinden könnte, sowie vielleicht selbst die Quellen (gerne auch von RSS-Feeds) bestimmen kann. Es wäre schön, wenn weitere Seiten eingebunden wären **Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback! Regionale Nachrichten auf Stadtebene sind technisch eine große Herausforderung, aber wir hören solche Wünsche häufig. Individuelle RSS-Feeds sind auf unserer Wunschliste – noch keine Versprechen, aber das Feedback hilft uns bei der Priorisierung. 🙏 ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A genuinely good app! *2026-03-16, version 6.0* If you like news, this is it. UI and everything. ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-03-16, version 6.0* I’ve been subscribed for a while now and have seen this app evolve and progress over that time. Really enjoying the platform and customized news feeds. Love the summarized quick and personalized reads along with “Inside this story” links to help dig into the story deeper if desired. Very well done ### 5/5 — Latest Update = Wow! *2026-03-09, version 6.0* What an amazing update. Thanks so much! Pidgeon is a the best way to stay updated on the News in a concise manor without getting sucked in. The new features added in the latest release are really impressive. I especially like the Wikipedia Links, interactive maps, AI generated questions, and the In This Day section. The podcast summary is excellent, though I wish there were more than one voice option. Also, I wish there were more granular control over which news content providers are used. All-in-all this app is incredibly useful and I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-10-18, version 5.9* I had a small hiccup during my initial review submission. Fortunately, the developers were quick to respond and effectively resolved the issue. After re-downloading the app, I found that my lifetime access was fully restored, and now everything is running flawlessly. I genuinely enjoy using this app, particularly the remarkable instant translation feature it offers. A big thank you to the developers for their outstanding work! ### 5/5 — Great News App *2025-02-23, version 5.8* Really like this for scrolling through the news and getting an idea of what’s going on in the world without getting too much detail (which is also there if I want it). This latest update allowing a reorganization of categories was a great addition! Keep it up! Great app! ### 5/5 — 希望增加中文语言 *2025-02-03* 希望增加中文语言 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
