There was one at one time but it went away. Please bring it back. ### 3/5 — Yeah Nope *2024-08-01* I have been using this app for apple news and technology for quite some time. At first it was completely free of ads, then over time it changed to show you an ad every time you opened the app, but now with the latest update ads pop out every couple of minutes. Soooo I had to part ways from it as now you have to endure full feature ads that can’t be closed until they run their course. Yeah. No thanks. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ads. We're constantly working to enhance the user experience and will take your comments into consideration for future updates. Thank you for using our app. ### 3/5 — Fix it *2022-10-20* Ads are still popping up when I open the app and I can’t ex out of them on my iPhone. Very frustrating. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to send in your review and alert us of this issue. We have been updating our ad settings and expect you will not see these ads in the future. We do offer an affordable ad free option! ### 4/5 — One stop for most things Apple *2022-08-26* The site frequently advertises that there’s a huge price drop offer on Amazon.com. I am from India and it’s useless to me! Site managers should at least be concentrating on Asia specific articles of such nature. Another issue, I noticed is that at times, very good but costly apps in the App Store are posted there as ‘free’. Some of them proved to be otherwise! ### 4/5 — Great little digest *2022-06-16, version 3.9.8* Simple and convenient ### 4/5 — Is this the best? *2022-02-20, version 3.9.8* This might well be the best app of its type. Users will certainly be up to date with any recent developments. It's well worth downloading and then making your own judgement. ### 5/5 — everything Apple and more *2022-01-18* Just an excellent app for keeping in touch daily with everything that goes on with Apple.. you won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Top app *2021-09-14, version 3.9.7* Very good for news and analysis. ### 4/5 — Review *2021-07-26, version 3.9.7* It very precise and concise and very informative but it has to work on a few tweaks for 5 * ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-04-18* It's a very informative and well designed app. Keep up the good work guys. Cheers 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — All news in one place *2020-11-02, version 3.9.7* Great app. All the news in one place. ### 5/5 — Love This *2020-10-21, version 3.9.7* It's a must have if you are in the Apple loop. I have iPads, Pods, Macs, Phone... Airways great knowing you can stay up to date with AAA. ### 5/5 — News *2020-09-19, version 3.9.7* All good!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2020-07-25, version 3.9.7* This is a great app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deleting the app *2022-10-08, version 4.0.0* Latest update brought ads? No thanks. I did enjoy the app but deleting now. ### 1/5 — Ads Now???😡😡😡 *2022-10-08, version 4.0.0* I have been using this app for years and it has been great. After the “so called” update yesterday, all it did was make it so there are ads now. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly! *2021-12-23, version 3.9.7* Not helpful at all! ### 1/5 — Not a Fan *2021-08-31, version 3.9.7* Hey how about not monetizing me with adds? How about not shaking me down for $3.00 to get rid of them? ### 1/5 — Troubling *2021-03-27* Just downloaded app today. I keep telling the app I don’t want Notifications; but, it keeps asking numerous times during the brief period I have had the app. The app is not listed in the iPhone’s Settings’ Notifications page, even though this page shows other apps which show notifications off. Tapping links to get from story results to get to website resulted in garbage: rapiidly flickering website. App store says app does not give info on privacy. I see why. In order to make comments, I signed in with Google, then was told cookies would need to be enabled. My dealing with this atrocious app is going to be short lived. Will delete it as soon as I finish this comment. ### 1/5 — Nice Application but need an update. *2020-01-28* I use this application daily, i find it very useful for me as i like specific news about apple. Which this application provides me, but now this application need an update with some bug fixes especially for the notch display iPhones. ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads, Too Little News *2019-07-19* App only gives about 2 or 3 sentences worth of news, smothered in Ads. Have to launch a Web Browser each time to get full story, or even to just get enough info to judge whether to read article(s) further. Once browser is launched, you’re bombarded with more Ads while attempting to read the story. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry you had a bad experience. Please note that we have absolutely no control over (nor do we profit from) ads in source sites. You can also block sources you dislike by long-tapping the article. For ads in the app itself, we offer an ads-free experience, including a week-long free trial. We hope this helps. We're happy to learn more and help further at support@newsfusion.com. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Cyclopses Folk Music Festival Visions *2018-04-20* It’s another Apple Reich Propagandist publication with a new wrinkle a one time this far remove the Ads monetization to sell you on why to buy a pumped up Cyclopses vision of a manufacturers methodology of brand marketing for a new century’s “AppleCare Plus One” (CRM) pre-sales Op-Ed (a popular view of any subject popular culture - fandom style techno ideas beta sales which express to the reader the best possible way to envision equities and market share losses in a bold new easy to sell and swallow “packaged goods store styled checkout line non-tech-technology; a magazine to sell the tale of future new production cycles cult styled articles for a longer terminal timeframe before abandonment inevitably is the best found in final days of the once “Gold Standard” International corporations products. ### 1/5 — Very shallow reporting *2018-04-18, version 3.9.7* No depth ### 1/5 — latest update *2017-02-03, version 3.8.2* the latest update doesn't even update as it loads but stops right at the end of the wheel then a minute or two later you get message saying try redownloading now or later, tried a few times and now won't load however i thought about deleting the app and re download it again but now it won't even open up please fix app as it's an awesome app to stay up to date on tech news etc all other updates went fine and i'm on iphone 7 plus phone with the latest ios version ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Always good intel *2024-01-12, version 4.0.1* Always good stuff and reliable. ### 5/5 — Retired 40 40 *2022-11-08, version 4.0.0* Very good and informative tech app. I like the layout.
