For those like me developing alternative front-end apps, it is concerning as many users love the translation option. ### 3/5 — Wieso nur noch auf englisch *2026-07-06* Was ist der Grund, das es kein deutsch mehr gibt wie es vorher war. ### 4/5 — 翻译问题 *2026-06-30* 负担不起翻译成本的话有没有考虑过让用户自行接入翻译 API？ ### 4/5 — 语言设置只有英文了？ *2026-06-18* 软件本身很好用。 但是为什么最近内容显示的语言只有英文了？原来支持很多语言，希望能更改回去。 ### 3/5 — 更新后其他国家和地区内容现在不能以中文显示了吗？ *2026-06-16* 原来没更新之前内容都是我选择繁体中文，更新后怎么变成英文了？（除了中国和台湾外） ### 3/5 — Guter Überblick, doch leider keine Übersetzung mehr in deutsch *2026-06-14* Gelungene Nachrichtensammlung. Gibt einmal täglich einen Überblick über wichtige Ereignisse. Dabei kann man Rubriken und Länder auswählen. Bisher fand ich auch die Möglichkeit, Artikel in einer bestimmten Sprache zu lesen. Leider jedoch ist dies neuerdings nur noch in Englisch möglich. Da nutze ich lieber Alternativen. **Developer response:** Vielen herzlichen Dank für das detaillierte und durchdachte Feedback und für die 5 Sterne! Und Sie haben absolut recht: Die App soll eine Orientierungshilfe sein und kein intensives Lesen ersetzen. Vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen! ### 3/5 — Automatische Übersetzung funktioniert nicht mehr ☹️ *2026-06-11* Kagi News nutze ich jetzt seit ein paar Monaten und bin echt angetan. Statt ständigem News-Geballer gibt es einmal täglich eine Presseschau mit Artikeln aus verschiedenen Quellen. Die Auswahl ist gut kuratiert, neutral und international aufgestellt. Besonders gefällt mir, dass keine Werbung eingeblendet wird und keinerlei Tracking erfolgt. Die App wirkt dem ständigen Scroll-Zwang klassischer Newsfeeds entgegen und hilft, das eigene Medienverhalten bewusster zu gestalten. Kein Dauerfeuer, keine Push-Hektik – dafür mehr Überblick und Ruhe. Ich merke, dass sich das auch positiv auf meine Stimmung und Konzentration auswirkt. Die Möglichkeit, Themenbereiche individuell zu priorisieren, finde ich super praktisch. Auch regional. Ein Stern Abzug, weil die Headline der Tagesausgabe manchmal etwas „clicky“ wirkt und sich das leider nicht anpassen lässt. Noch nerviger, außerdem werden Beiträge leider nicht mehr automatisch in der Übersicht und im Artikel selbst auf Deutsch übersetzt. ### 4/5 — nicht genug konfigurierbar *2026-06-10* Ich werde mit Sportnachrichten zugesch!ssen und bekomme sie nicht weg. edit: Thank you "Kagi", you are right. It was my fault. Please excuse me. **Developer response:** Hey, just go to the settings (icon in the top right) and add or remove any categories you don't want to see, like sports :) ### 3/5 — Nicht schlecht, *2026-05-24* aber belegt viel zu viel Speicher auf dem iPhone. Knapp zwei Gigabyte sind es bei mir. ### 4/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2026-05-19* ...but it's not perfect... I hope Kagi can make this idea work out! It would be fantastic to have AI aggregate news content in real time, from the global pool of multiple language sources, deduplicate and prioritise according to actual news values, linking through to the best quality source material in a transparent way, without distortion... so far it kinda works, but the pool of source material seems limited, and the AI does a correspondingly poor job at ranking items... I think it could more efficiently spend less effort on trying to summarise -- because it is difficult not to distort the facts when you do that -- and put more effort into getting more items to rank. ### 2/5 — Keine Übersetzung und nichts aktuell, da leider immer ein Tag hinten dran *2026-05-17* Schade, dabei gefällt mir Kagi sehr gut. Wünsche es gebe einen Übersetzung Button, wenn schon die eingestellte Ländersprache nichts bringt und wie wäre es noch mit einem Voice Ausgabe Button. Auch fehlt mir eine aktuelle Tages Zusammenfassung als Daily News App. ### 3/5 — Excellent app with a fatal flaw *2026-04-27, version 1.1.0* For the first day or so, Kagi News worked brilliantly and I was blown away because this approach to news is a dream come true. However, certain Categories (for me it’s privacy, cybersecurity, and good news) just disappear from my feed rather than remain with the little note that says there’s no news on the topic(s) for that day. Further, they’ll intermittently reappear on the categories list depending on the day, which means I end up re-adding them to my preferred categories and rearranging them. That is, before they disappear another day depending on (what I assume is) a lack of news traffic. I LOVE Kagi’s philosophy on news, so hopefully they can fix this sooner or later! ### 4/5 — App window size for Mac and light mode *2026-04-26* The app window size should be changed for Mac laptops by making it more horizontal and wide than tall and vertical. The app should have an option to change between light and dark mode. ### 4/5 — Excellent at its task and community backed *2026-03-30* Firstly, no login , no ads yet still quality. An ai summary is not sth I would trust because of ai hallucination, what is the purpose of the owners, how does it work removes any trust and value. All this is known here, how the project works and gets its sources is known and the community checks and reports any hallucinations which are fixed . It’s constantly refining based on feedback and u can get involved. The filtering is essential. It helps my FOMO on news without going to sites that are rabbit holes. A star off because of ai. ### 4/5 — Dots confusing *2026-03-20* What’s the dots under the calendar day for ?? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 這個軟件對我已經沒有什麼用啦 *2026-07-11* 自從語言設置只能是英文以來，原諒我無法看懂外文，所以這個軟件對我已經沒有什麼用了，很少打開了，就算是打開也只是看看軟件有沒有恢復中文介面而已，有提過意見，再保留一個月，如果還沒恢復，只能是卸載了，很遺憾。 **Developer response:** 很抱歉让您感到困扰，我非常理解。由于成本原因，我们不得不暂时移除了这项功能…… Sorry for the frustration, I understand. We had to temporarily remove this feature due to cost reasons... ### 1/5 — 更新后其他国家和地区内容现在不能以中文显示了吗？ *2026-06-26* 原来没更新之前内容都是我选择繁体中文，更新后怎么变成英文了？（除了中国和台湾外）,差评！ **Developer response:** 很抱歉让您感到困扰，我非常理解。由于成本原因，我们不得不暂时移除了这项功能…… Sorry for the frustration, I understand. We had to temporarily remove this feature due to cost reasons... ### 1/5 — War mal gut *2026-06-17* Warum jetzt die App nur noch Englisch oder die Sprache des Landes anzeigt, ist mir schleierhaft. Deutsch hat doch immer wunderbar funktioniert ### 1/5 — 要注意 *2026-05-12* 一見かなり良さげだとは思うけれども、AIによる要約全般に難がある点を一旦置いておくとしても、悪名高いプロパガンダのニュースサイトや情報の質の振れ幅が非常に大きい掲示板などがソースに含まれていて注意が必要。いい感じにフォーマットされて視覚的に信憑性が増しているのが不安になる。使用する方はどうか気をつけて。 ### 1/5 — Seit gestern keine Funktion *2025-11-18* Seit gestern keine Nachrichten mehr. ### 1/5 — Good idea but broken *2025-10-21* After the first couple of days it stops updating and just shows news from a week ago forever. ### 1/5 — AI slop *2025-10-02* Clearly no human is even reviewing or even reading the content, which is embarrassing since they only update it once a day. For example today is October 2 and it has article “President Trump unveils $100,000 fee in H-1B visa”, which happened weeks ago. Probably some team worked on this, they decided it was a bad idea, not even worth having a single human support it. It’s funny because the big lesson from TikTok is that you can get good results if you actually pay humans to select good content. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Nach einem Update ist sie plötzlich nur noch auf englisch verfügbar. Was soll das ????????? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent at its task and community backed *2026-06-28* Firstly, no login , no ads yet still quality. An ai summary is not sth I would trust because of ai hallucination, what is the purpose of the owners, how does it work removes any trust and value. All this is known here, how the project works and gets its sources is known and the community checks and reports any hallucinations which are fixed . It’s constantly refining based on feedback and u can get involved. The filtering is essential. It helps my FOMO on news without going to sites that are rabbit holes. But it uses ai. ### 5/5 — Good news aggregator *2026-06-20* A simple yet wonderful news app. It aims at keeping you up to date on world events while respecting your time. Free of charge, no ads. Though AI-driven, multiple sources are always provided. You should try it! ### 5/5 — Magnificent and useful *2026-05-25* Excellent app that aggregates news while providing the sources! ### 5/5 — Great news reading design that won’t draw much unnecessary attention *2026-05-25* Love that it only updates once per day, and the framework providing perspectives not just stories or entertainments with sources for further resources. My wish list: - To be able to sync account settings on app where it is possible now on web (e.g. news categories). - Select texts like what other apps do so that I can translate with Kagi or other apps. - Allow individual language settings per category. ### 5/5 — Reclaim your time *2026-04-08* I have deleted all my other news apps. Kagi gives me the perfect nugget of daily context in a short 2-minute session. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 🌟 We love the way you described the experience! ### 5/5 — BEST NEWS AGGREGATOR EVER!! *2026-04-02* Seriously, I’ve been looking for news aggregators for a long time and all of them need some kind of paid subscription. I love Kagi news cause it’s all free and so much useful data included. Thank you kagi team for this open source contribution. ### 5/5 — これ！ *2026-03-14* これは良すぎる。 余計な機能はなく、シンプルにニュースが読める。 ただ、個人的には、 スポーツとか、ニュースの内容を自分好みにしたいのと。 開かなくてもすぐ読みたいので、widgetが欲しいです。 ### 5/5 — L’actualité à la portée de toutes et tous ! *2026-03-11* Il devenu difficile de s’informer librement de nos jours. Kagi News me permets de suivre le fil de l’actualité rapidement et simplement sur une diversité de sujets. Les résumés sont neutres et concaténés avec plusieurs sources de qualité. Il n’y a pas de pubs, pas de traqueurs et aucun algorithmes derrière qui essaye de vous faire gober des âneries. ### 5/5 — Best news reader *2026-02-06* This is the best news reading app… like ever. Compared to some other you have finite number of stories, which you can read in a short period of time. Each story has a nice summary and multiple sources. You can choose the themes you’re interested in, which is great instead of choosing specific sources / websites. **Developer response:** Thank you! This is wonderful to read! We designed Kagi News to be focused and finite on purpose, so you can actually get through your news without feeling overwhelmed. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. ### 5/5 — 整体是好用的 *2026-02-05* 速度有点慢，要是有时间就好了，许多新闻没有具体发生的时间，文章也没有撰写时间 **Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈。 关于速度问题，我们一直在持续优化加载和刷新性能，并希望很快为您带来更流畅的体验。 感谢您如此深入地使用我们的应用并提供如此具体的建议；这些对我们非常有帮助。若您有更多建议，请在 kagifeedback.org 告诉我们。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
