When I look up a topic I get many varied responses. I scroll through to find one that looks interesting, tap on it and read the article. However, when I go back to the listing of sites I am thrown to the top of the page and I have to scroll back through to find another link that looks interesting. I would like it if after using a link I am taken back to that spot when I page back instead of to the top where I then have to scroll to where the link was that I just came from. **Developer response:** We’re truly sorry for the frustration caused by the tabs issue. Our tech team has fixed it, and things should be working smoothly now.

Waste of time ### 2/5 — Clumsy to use … *2026-03-09, version 2.10.14* … requiring too many operations when engaging multiple topics from emails. ### 2/5 — Man Made Climate Change is Real according to a simple search on Freespoke *2026-03-01, version 2.10.14* It seemed to parrot everything the MSM has been saying with few alternative explanations. What about the research article by Grok? What about anything from the Climate Depot? Did not seem to produce even a balance of research on this topic. In order to get anything close to a balance by any AI that scrapes the internet, there needs to be an algorithm that provides 75% of references from conservative sources and 25% from mainstream sources. Any quick search shows that the internet is highly skewed left and liberal. An algorithm must then be highly biased towards “conservative” to get anything close to 50 / 50 in sources provided. Gave it 2 stars vs 1 because at least this is an attempt in the right direction. ### 4/5 — I Love Where Freespoke Is Going! *2025-12-06* I have been using Freespoke for a few weeks now. I am loving it for the way it helps me cut through all of the bias out there. But, the pricing is very confusing to me. I gladly paid for an annual subscription, but keep getting messages that say I have accessed 4 out of 10 free articles, then offers to upgrade me to premium without explaining what premium is. Freespoke, please don’t confuse people. ### 1/5 — Subscription Required *2025-09-12, version 2.10.6* Like most big tech, this app went from free service to subscription. Don’t waste your time. There are plenty of free options to receive the same news. ### 1/5 — Extremely slow *2025-07-26, version 2.10.2* I think I’m going to cancel my subscription with free spoke. Anytime that I click on something it either doesn’t come up at all or takes forever. Most the time I get a blank screen. Solutions? ### 1/5 — Unbiased???? Baloney *2025-06-14, version 2.9.0* I so wanted to believe I could find an unbiased search engine but apparently it’s not to be. Early on you could choose results from a left, middle or right bias but suddenly you have to buy this privilege. If you don’t, it’s like Google - the first 3-5 pages of results are more left and far left. It is so disappointing to have to pay for equal quantities of left and right results. No better than Google. Certainly not worth paying to get specific biases. ### 4/5 — Buggy *2025-06-13, version 2.9.0* iOS 18.5 on 11 Put something in search and nothing comes up but the home page Tap on Help or whatever and still home page Please stay on top ### 3/5 — PLEASE REPAIR THIS APP! *2025-06-11, version 2.9.0* Love the search results but app & website doesn’t work at all! Please fix it! Thanks!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hi *2026-06-09, version 2.11.3* This app it ok but when I try to delete it it just says “to delete this app you must download another searching app “ but im not allowed searching apps do I couldn’t delete it but other than that is is pretty good ⭐️⭐️ I would say two star review ### 1/5 — What a crock *2026-05-21, version 2.11.3* Freespoke ignores verifiable facts, instead offering just another example of the tired “both sides are the same” argument. It gives equal weight to opposing perspectives without offering any actual fact based scrutiny of the claims made. What a waste. Delete! ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2026-04-24, version 2.11.1* This app started out great, and then slowly all the horses turned into bait and switch where you have to buy a subscription to continue reading articles. ### 1/5 — Where is free version? *2026-02-25, version 2.10.13* I heard about Freespoke from a podcast. I goggled to see if it was free to use or just download The response was there was a free version or you can upgrade for a fee. Being on a fixed income I opted for the free version. However I found no way to bypass the ‘free trial’ version which would automatically enroll you in the paid subscription. So how does one get to the free version?? ### 1/5 — Still left wing biased *2026-01-02* I downloaded and immediately put it to the test by asking it about people like Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, etc. Consistently, the AI answer at the top conveniently left out key details of each case and filled the rest with emotional sob stories. Then, the next link is wikipedia (full left wing misinformation), followed by random podcasts (most frequently Ben Shapiro, no thanks), then followed by all mainstream news broadcasters (cbs, abc, nbc, nytimes, etc). Using this app is like watching Fox News. You think it must be decent because it’s right of center, but the fact is the “center” is so far left these days, even Fox is left wing. I’ll stick to my usual news sources that have been consistent (Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, Liberty Daily, Revolver, etc) ### 1/5 — Fake news *2025-12-11, version 2.10.8* It’s a waste of time ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-27, version 2.10.8* Worst app ever ### 1/5 — Seem ok *2025-11-26, version 2.10.8* Couldn’t read first article right after downloading because the screen jump all over the place multiple times from ads and pop up’s. I’ll try again some other time and see if works better. ### 1/5 — No *2025-11-20, version 2.10.8* This app says no tracking then ask over and over to turn your phone into a news machine gives you 8 articles a week for free and wants $40 a year for full access. I don’t need an app feeding me news or telling me what it means. ### 1/5 — History delete function removed *2025-10-04, version 2.10.6* Since your most recent update the 'History Delete function disappeared' meaning that those in control of Freespoke either 1. Haven't seen this bug or 2. Are becoming as transparent as Google removing our freedoms little by little while collecting more and more data on each user. Address this immediately ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unbiased and amazing *2026-05-03, version 2.11.1* I can't stress enough how important real news is and not biased. Although I think this app has its flaws like every other but it's gives you facts. ### 5/5 — Found it love it *2026-04-24* No more left leaning news. Never use Google cause I realize that they were left leaning then I use Yahoo as a search ending engine but now I realize they’re left-leaning used to pay monthly for Apple news until I realize everything was left leaning and deleted it so now I’m doing Freespoke and at least they’re in the middle and nothing left or right everything is equal. ### 5/5 — FREESPOKE is a breath of fresh air *2026-04-02, version 2.10.14* FINALLY a truthful search engine that shows both sides, all with NO TRACKING. ### 5/5 — Freespoke *2026-01-05, version 2.10.10* Love it so far! ### 5/5 — Yes *2025-12-31, version 2.10.10* It is private thank y’all ! ### 5/5 — Woke News Stories *2025-12-19, version 2.10.9* Never let your guard down of the propaganda of the Internet ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-10-19, version 2.10.8* Works great and I feel good about supporting patriots 🇺🇸 respecting private citizens privacy 🙌🏼 ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT *2025-09-24, version 2.10.6* Thank for an alternative ### 5/5 — Great app and website! Fair and balanced! *2025-08-15, version 2.10.3* Seems older problems are fixed and it’s smooth sailing now! Love the search results and the ability to get any biases. I always find things I need , thnx! ### 5/5 — Free spoke browser *2025-06-14, version 2.7.2* Excellent great job they talk the talk and walk the walk really work great on my iPhone plus not easy for app to work with it old iPhone thanks Tina skinner --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
