This is better for the comfort of the eyes and for the battery. We are waiting for the dark mode ! No option to search, we have no magnifying glass It would be nice to have a search feature in the app. ### 2/5 — ? *2020-06-01, version 4.35.290052764* The only pictures that appear are the adds. All other blocks are blank and many of the news stories require picture. Reloaded it twice. Suggestions? ### 4/5 — Odd pictures *2019-10-16, version 4.34.160047543* I miss the fun pictures ### 2/5 — From good to bad *2019-10-14, version 4.34.160047543* Used to be the best all around news but seems to have really taken a major leap backwards. Articles not complete, some you have to go somewhere else to finish. No Odd New funny pics anymore (one of the best features, as is all the Odd News) Please fix ### 1/5 — Repeats stories *2019-09-28, version 4.34.140046751* This app used to be good but is no longer functional. Using iPadOs13 it has stories repeated from 3 to 10 times per page. Instead of having individual paragraphs about each news story the app repeats the same paragraphs over and over. Will definitely have to delete this app and try a different news app and provider. It’s too buggy to waste time on anymore, hope they fix it for someone else. ### 1/5 — Terrible Propaganda *2019-01-06, version 4.32.820042748* A news headline that refers to our Governor Jerry Brown ‘Moonbeam’ and not his name? He is the longest serving governor in California’s history, in the 5th largest economy in the world. Inclusion of alt-right propaganda from Beth Baumann of Townhall is unacceptable. See yah! ### 1/5 — Latest changes are distracting *2018-11-14, version 4.32.610042447* Pop-up ads that are hard to dismiss are distracting. Latest update is cluttered and hard to navigate. ### 3/5 — Seems OK as a source for news *2018-09-21, version 4.30.410039716* Nothing special, same as other news apps, but works well. ### 2/5 — To much reality TV *2018-06-03, version 4.29.630037159* The entertainment section has way to much emphasis on reality TV such as Teen Mom, and the now boring Kardashian’s ### 3/5 — GDY *2018-05-14, version 4.29.630037159* This app is so informational. I don't have time to always watch the news daily with my busy schedule. I am so glad headline news keeps me informed so I am up to date on what is happening this country as well as other countries. Sometimes the stories need to be more in depth. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Breaking News! *2025-05-04, version 5.12.030062812* Doapp app hasn’t been updated in five years. 05/04/25 Seriously. Nothing to see here. No news, no sports, nothing. 02/10/24 review: Still needs to be updated. Only now the most recent content is from 11/05/2022. 06/29/22 review: This app needs to be updated. The most recent content is from 10/22/2021. 🙄 ### 1/5 — 02/10/24 *2024-02-10, version 5.03.190061427* Still needs to be updated. Only now the most recent content is from 11/05/2022. 06/29/22 review: This app needs to be updated. The most recent content is from 10/22/2021. 🙄 ### 1/5 — Not happy *2021-01-06, version 4.35.610058036* I’m not getting the pictures and I miss the funny photos under odd news ### 1/5 — Watch this video is a still photo *2020-07-21, version 4.35.290052764* Who ever is running this app please either make sure there is a video to play when you say Watch: woman ride coast to coast or Change your captions ### 1/5 — Fake News! *2020-07-05, version 4.35.290052764* Just another junk website that pushes biased, fake news. Totally disgraceful news organization! ### 1/5 — Lacking *2020-06-05, version 4.35.290052764* The app doesn’t load any pictures except the advertisements...deleting. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2020-05-23* This used to be good but now isn’t worth having on your iPad as very few of the images are visible in the latest iPad software. You also used to be able to rate and send comments to the software suppliers, but this has gone too. It looks like they developed the software and then disappeared, well before Corvid19 hit us. Have removed it and am trying alternatives. ### 1/5 — Headlines update *2019-10-22, version 4.34.210049075* I use to read Headline News everyday for the Funny Pictures..after the update, I can’t find them anymore under Odd News, so I am very disappointed and will probably take the app off my phone. ### 1/5 — No more funny pictures *2019-10-21, version 4.34.160047543* The only differentiator between this news app and others was the odds page:funny pictures. They have discontinued this item. It’s a shame, bring the funny pictures back and be great again. ### 1/5 — Opinion headlines *2019-10-04, version 4.34.140046751* Have had same articles on my phone for a week have done everything wont update. Deleted up dated still same article for over a week. What is wrong ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent source of news *2023-04-20, version 4.35.730059382* I totally enjoy as they provide breaking news before any other news channels. Very prompt and updated news . ### 5/5 — Weather/Traffic *2022-01-17, version 4.35.730059382* Used to get weather radar doesn’t show it anymore don’t know if something I did or in settings ### 5/5 — 1st to know *2021-05-16, version 4.35.610058036* News, news & nothing but the news! No opinion, no bias just good old fashioned real news. I love this app!❤️ Its always first to know about everything going on in the world👍🏾👍🏾 That being said, the news feed hasn’t updated since 5/11/21. Please fix. ### 5/5 — Boston man *2020-01-21, version 4.34.380050311* Best newscast in world ### 5/5 — Retired IBM manager *2019-10-08* Excellent!!! ### 5/5 — Bi-partisan with a humor section *2018-12-19, version 4.29.630037159* I love it that it shows news from different sides and my daily portion of fun pictures. ### 5/5 — News review *2018-12-08, version 4.32.820042748* Love the content. I like the presentation ### 5/5 — Read it every day *2018-07-28, version 4.30.410039716* Keeps me up-to-date on all the news. I read it every day. ### 5/5 — Very good information *2018-07-21, version 4.30.410039716* Really in-depth ### 5/5 — Traffic and Weather *2018-05-08, version 4.29.630037159* Joining traffic and weather makes it much less useful for me. Traffic is important and I use it almost daily. The SF Bay Area has traffic nightmares often. Weather is something I don’t use. Please give traffic its own section at a higher level. The info is good but getting there is clumsy often. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
