User reviews

Great news source, but…

Reporting is balanced and fair. The app itself is clean and easy to navigate, however it lacks many features like read aloud, comment, and save articles. Also cannot create accounts if not subscribe to a plan. Overall the news is good, but the app can be improved.

Scammers

This app has become useless. I can’t read a single article without pop up’s interrupting me. When you try to close these pop ups, they send you to a warning that your iPhone is infected. The only thing you can do is close the app and reopen it. Then it starts all over again. You’re only getting one star because there is no option for zero.

“App” runs Spyware on your Devie

This app used to let me read news articles unhindered. But recently it starts running spyware “scans” without even touching a link. And it pops up little window ads that I have to touch the “X” in the corner to close out. It’s like playing wack-a-mole on steroids. Then it takes over the entire screen pretending to run a virus scanner. I have to close out the app and start it again. Then it kicks in and starts to run another spyware “scan”. I can’t even read the news anymore using this app. I like John Solomon, but does he know that his app is totally rife with spyware and spam? Is there a different app available that has no spam and spyware that I can read ‘Just The News’ news articles? Otherwise, I going to have to remove this app from my phone.

Pop-ups will kill you!

I really enjoy the substance in writing of the articles at Just the News, but there are so many pop-ups on this app that you can rarely read more than about two lines at a time. It’s barely worth having the app

One year user

Very hard to use this app. Way too many ads and click bait. So frustrating to scroll through and ad for every paragraph or two. John Solomon is sharp but his app isn’t worth the click bait infestation.
