### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-08-24*

An amazing source of news that stands for the people :))

### 5/5 — Out of step with other apps

*2022-03-01*

In 2022, this app needs a major update. The layout of the articles makes them difficult to read and most of the buttons don’t really work. But I’m giving it five stars because Liberation News is the best.

### 3/5 — Love the news, poor design

*2021-08-12*

I love Liberation News, but the app design leaves something to be desired. Quality journalism deserves a quality app, comrade ;)

### 3/5 — Needs to be updated

*2021-05-10*

The news is good, but it looks like the design hasn’t been updated since it’s release, could use a refresh

### 5/5 — Good New But

*2021-03-24*

Very horrible app design. Needs to be updated. Needs a modern design.

### 3/5 — Great articles, broken app.

*2017-11-03*

I’m very happy with the news articles contained in the app. A welcome respite & true alternative to the MSM bs.

I do have an issue though where I can’t share articles to social media, whenever I try it says the app needs “stream publishing permissions” yet gives me no option for granting those permissions.

### 5/5 — Great midia!

*2017-05-09*

An explendid source for alternative midia!

### 5/5 — My News Updates

*2016-02-02*

The app allows me to instantaneously share articles with all my social medias.

### 5/5 — LET ME TELL YOU!

*2016-02-01*

Awesome app! great alternative to the mainstream bs you see every day! commercial free. it's for the people and by the people. gives you a real understanding of our current political climate in the US. Good to see there is a outlet for the working class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

### 4/5 — Okay, but...

*2016-01-31*

It's really great to have updates on PSL articles, and all those podcasts, but the app design is frustrating. Click a link from the story, and the in-app browser won't close without leaving the story. Navigation is outdated, would love to see an html5 side menu, and settings options of some sort. Thank you!
