Someof the news are already history. ### 4/5 — GMA review *2023-07-26, version 4.4.5* As a foreign with Philippines family I follow GMA for typhoon information and things that can effect my family while I’m working away so I want weather information Alerts plus headlines ### 3/5 — News evening time *2023-05-03, version 4.4.2* I find it very inappropriate for the news that shows obnoxious scenes specially during the evening meal. However finding news about happenings in the country is appreciated. ### 2/5 — Boring as usual *2023-03-02, version 4.2.11* Most of the news posted is about some people’s lives. Who is in love, celebrating a birthday. Blah blah blah. There are many more issues and things to discuss in the Philippines. ### 2/5 — News *2022-07-25, version 4.2.7* Delayed in the news, repetitive news ### 5/5 — Definitely 5 of 5 (Updated from “4 of 5”) *2022-05-07, version 4.2.1* Generally, I’d consider G.M.A. News good in terms of covering Philippine. The (then-)missing star is due to technical reasons: The app (new v.4.0.0, 4.0.1, and the latest so far 4.1.0) crashes without fail while loading on my iOS 15.4.1 on iPhone 7 Plus. The 1st & last time it worked was just after upgrading to v.4.0, allowing me to configure settings on what sections’ articles to display. Then, it crashed… and continues to crash hence forth, just after displaying the newly-overhauled branded signboard (which looks awesome, by the way!). A pity! I’ve been excited to see how the new app looks new, but am stuck looking at the still-the-same website for PH news. Hopefully, it can be fixed, so I can add the missing star. Update: Sorry, nope. The app still crashes with the latest release (v.4.2.0). The next one, I hope? New Update: The v.4.2.1 works! ᜀᜅ͓ ᜄᜈ͓ᜇ (“Ang ganda”)! The layout looks awesome! Thanks to all the G.M.A. crew! ### 5/5 — GMA News *2022-03-04, version 3.9.0* Comprehensive ### 5/5 — Interview of Presidential candidates *2022-01-28, version 3.9.0* Very good questions and all pertaining to governance, leadership, corruptions, educations, health, etc. most of all about help and upgrade the quality of life of all the people in the Philippines. Well done Jessica the most intelligent, witty interviewer in the Philippines. Kudos!!!! ### 5/5 — Great news *2021-12-16, version 3.3.9* I like to read and watch more news from the Philippines thank you ### 4/5 — It’s getting better *2021-10-24, version 3.8.0* A little more improvement it will be 5 stars…. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Efficiency in news presenting *2026-07-07, version 5.8.4* Please refrain from scrolling your cp and update upload asap for the benefit of readers ### 1/5 — Full of ads *2023-10-21, version 4.4.5* Can’t even open an article without page getting flooded by ads. Article is totally greyed out by the almighty ads and nothing is being done about it. Useless app in my opinion. ### 1/5 — Still the same! *2022-12-31, version 4.2.10* No significant changes, always showbiz! ### 1/5 — GMA News *2022-05-13, version 4.2.3* What happened to GMA news? The election is over! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2022-05-04, version 4.2.0* I had to delete this app due to constant crashing. It never opens on my iPhone, even though I tried to reinstall the app, restart my iPhone and also have the latest version of the software for my iPhone and for the app. Kind of disappointing. ### 1/5 — Completely useless *2022-04-15, version 4.1.0* Now that I got the 2nd update since it crashes still. I reinstalled it and it still does the same thing. ### 1/5 — Still Crashing *2022-03-21, version 4.0.0* Dear GMA News online app developers, this is my third review on the same issue. The app fails to launch every time. The old version worked just fine on my phone, the fact that the updated version crashes could only be due to the app itself. Please fix this ### 1/5 — Your New version App is crashing when open *2022-03-17, version 4.0.0* Hi your new version app is cashing when opened. Regards Eric ### 1/5 — App & Site *2021-05-04, version 3.5.1* I am looking for a certain answer on a news. I got to the site at the end of the article you have click a button that say continue reading on gma news. Once click it never loads. I open the same article in the app, same. You will click a button that says continue on gma news but then again it never loads up. Just maintain a site or the app. This app is rubbish!!! ### 1/5 — This is a Pro-Duterte government company *2020-10-15, version 3.3.9* Please open your mind. We need you to broadcast what is the real Duterte is who is selling the Philippines to China. PLEASE TAKE NOTE IN EVERYONE’S MIND THAT HE IS THE PET OF XI JINPING. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wassim *2025-03-16, version 4.9.2* In generally good news in the Philippines ### 5/5 — GMA radio and tv. *2025-01-02, version 4.8.2* da original radio station ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-09-28* I appreciate your news articles. **Developer response:** Hi, Good day. We appreciate your feedback. This will be forwarded to the department in charge. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Objective and Relevant Reporting *2024-08-29, version 4.7.3* Very informative and unbiased. I disagree with the reviewers that say GMA favors one party over the other. Reporting what really happened, without adding personal prejudice, just stating the facts, is not being biased. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Love This show *2022-09-25, version 4.2.8* GMA ,I been watching gma since I was 18 years old I am 58 now . ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-08-25, version 4.2.8* This App has come along way, works very well.
