### 1/5 — Needs LOTS of Work

*2026-01-26*

I clicked on app support but it doesn’t work - when I clicked on contact it went to a multi-page ad. Didn’t see anything else so guess I will try this way through a review. Your links to stories are no good most of the time. It takes you to a story that has nothing to do with the story notification that you click on. Very frustrating. I can never seem to see or find the story I was interested in via the notice. I know it can work because I have another app of yours - KXII News. I never have any issues with the links it provides. Even hours later. Please fix this issue. Not much point in keeping the app if it doesn’t work well or properly and I can’t see or find the story I received the notification about (that I actually want to read). Thank you.
Jan 26, 2026 UPDATE - no one seems to care enough about this app (or the consumers) to fix it. It’s pretty worthless. The only benefit I can see is to read the notification headline (this time took me to a “we’ll be back shortly” message - and I had clicked IMMEDIATELY on the notification!) and then look it up on a different news source to actually see and read the story. This is the only reason I haven’t deleted it yet - just to see the headline notification. If it is not fixed soon I will wind up deleting the app because I’m not wasting valuable iPhone storage space for an app that doesn’t work. You haven’t even tried to update the app in a year’s time.

### 1/5 — Glitchy?

*2025-08-22*

I cannot get the app to open, it freezes on the personalize page. I restarted my device twice, still won’t work.

### 1/5 — We don’t need another left wing news service.

*2025-08-10*

I downloaded it and the headlines were all left slanted garbage. No thanks.

### 1/5 — The Collin Alread app

*2024-10-31*

I watched LNL on Pluto for a while (I'm in Texas), and it was wall to wall ads for Collin Alread. I was amazed that they allow lies that Ted Cruiz supports illegal immigration! Really LNL? Then, the one actual news story I saw was about how democrats favor IVF and republican don't (fact check, they do). Unbiased they are not. If you want your news to tell you Orange Man bad, this is the app for you!

### 5/5 — Free unbiased news!

*2024-10-09*

Nice to have access to this service in app form. Hard to find unbiased news these days. And there’s no paywall. Thank you!!
