Random and all the posts are the same. Its like a fake app being run by a few people. Some people just really don't know how to keep things simple. ### 1/5 — Dud *2015-06-20* Downloaded it. Tried to create an acct so i could use it. Got to the bottom of the required information.... WTH, nobody invited me. Unable to start using unless i fill in that blank with a known user. Uninstalled. Bye. Only giving you one star because i am not allowed to give you zero. ### 1/5 — Unique login??? *2015-06-17* Unique login for a newsfeed? Come on guys, your content is pooled and not even original. Deleted. ### 1/5 — No stars is better *2015-06-16* You should be able to rate something no stars. ### 2/5 — Alright *2015-06-18* Have an option of receiving alerts of breaking news. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2015-06-17* I want to really like this. Followed a bunch of folks from my phone, logged into my iPad and it didn't sync. Logged out of my iPad and now I can't log back in. ### 3/5 — Invited by "kite" *2015-07-02* For the invited by section, simply write in "kite". Now you're in. See what a simple Google search can do? ### 3/5 — Almost *2015-06-27* I really like this app, and it will get better as it grows its user base. However, I wish there was a place to leave feedback other than here, but here goes anyway: 1) I wish kite would sync between my iPhone and iPad, esp as I add different sources. 2) I still get a lot of my reading material from other sites and I wish I could share to kite from sites like Twitter. ### 3/5 — Good start; a little buggy *2015-06-16* I love the UI and the concept. Can't get the app to share stuff to FB, tho. I'd like a web interface, too. Hope that's on the roadmap. Good start! ### 4/5 — So much promise *2015-06-19* I like the direction Kite is heading and it shows enormous promise. But for love of Pete, please add a sharing extension so that I can share articles from inside whatever app I happen to already be in. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this browser alternative!!! *2016-12-15* If you haven't tried Kite, you are doing yourself a disservice. It is simply the best browser alternative out there. It's not bloated with a bunch of features you don't need. A super simple yet incredibly powerful experience. Never thought I would love a browser this much. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-07-09* This app is great! I love the access to all different news sources. I can see this becoming part of a Poli-Sci/PR course curriculum. Great for news fiends like myself! ### 5/5 — Everyday read *2015-07-09* Congratulations and thank you to the creators of Kite for coming up with something that makes my life so much easier. I read an average of 3/4 papers a day and now I can get them all in one App as well as I can read some articles that people share that I would not have look at and that are still very interesting. For the people who had trouble downloading not sure how can someone find it difficult to enter the word kite when they ask invited by. Well done! Looking forward to read every morning and during my breaks. ### 5/5 — Best way to start the day *2015-06-19* Easy way to start the day reading great articles from people who shared as well as going to my favorite sites. For the people who rated 1 single star, if you can read you would know to use the invite kite. ### 5/5 — Everything I've ever wanted! | nevermind the 1 stars, people can't read I guess. *2015-06-17* Totally what I've been waiting for. Great UX, awesome UI. Great job Marc Andreeson should love this!! P.s - STOP rating 1 star because of no invite!! This app doesn't deserve that. Use naidevcodes, drcrypt, or kite!!! Yeesh, it's in the first line of the description. ### 5/5 — Not Bad At All *2015-06-16* Takes a few minutes to get used to, but overall, it’s a good app. For those of you writing 1-star reviews because you need an invite name: use “Kite,” (no quotes). ### 5/5 — Awesome social news reader *2015-05-13* This is the reader I've been waiting for, hope it takes off and I can interact with more thought leaders on kite. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-03-23* This app is terrific. It is a great, fun, and easy way to read news from your favorite websites, save items for later to a reading list, and follow what your friends are reading! ### 4/5 — Needs more right-leaning content *2015-06-16* This is great, but it'd be nice if not every single site you have available on here is left-leaning. Mix it up for the rest of us. You know, conservatives like to read too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
