### 1/5 — Can’t navigate.

*2025-05-30*

All I want is to read currant news. I can’t !

### 1/5 — Just conservative talk radio

*2024-11-08*

Same old grievance media.  Fox wannabe.  Deleting now.

### 1/5 — Totally Bogus

*2024-04-21*

The “unbiased” claim is totally bogus. Much disgust that 1440 is advertising itself as such. Hopes for genuinely unbiased news dashed.

### 1/5 — App performance stinks

*2024-03-31*

I have no idea if the content was worth anything or not. Commercials would not stop playing, even if I exited the app. Tried to navigate to weather and traffic and could never back out of those screens. I had to exit the app, refresh the background, (Apple) and then go back into the app. I never even got to hear one news story, because I was so frustrated with the app’s performance. I prefer to read anyways so it was no issue for me to delete this worthless app.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-03-22*

Unusable. Slow, full of ads, hard to navigate.  Deleted and still looking for an unbiased news app.  I won’t hold my breath.

### 2/5 — Hard to use

*2024-02-15*

I’ve had this app for all of 2 minutes. It’s glitchy and not very user friendly. The segments aren’t labelled well enough to know what they even are, and it’s just set up weird overall. It also keeps playing the news station even when I turn it off and it says it’s not playing. I haven’t gotten into the actual content, but the app itself could use some serious work.

### 1/5 — I was hopeful.

*2024-01-30*

I was hopeful this was truly an unbiased app but immediately it showed it’s true colors with Sean Hannity hosting the program playing. Needless to say, I removed the app and now I’ll wait to see what kind of junk gets sent to me. A little honesty would’ve been nice.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time, partisan propaganda

*2023-08-09*

If you heard about it from an ad that stated it was unbiased news, don’t bother. Came from Reddit thought actual news would be cool. Starting listening and from the get go it was just literal yelling about democrats destroying America. The host was reading from a book what was titled democrats destroying America or something to that effect. Stuck around for 20 minutes thinking it was a commentary or something. Nope just this guy thinking he’s saving America from evil libs. 0/10 not worth the time to download and uninstall, app has a pretty terrible format, no selection, nothing is intuitive, and they had to lie just to get my download. Greatly disappointed all around.

### 2/5 — 1440 WHAT NEWS?

*2023-06-17*

this app is bullsh*t.

### 1/5 — My IQ Dropped - Mind-numbing Radio

*2023-06-01*

A broadcast started as soon as I opened the App. It was about historical US land surveys. The word survey was repeated so many times my ears rang; the voice was intent on listing geographical features when can be surveyed. News Flash for you 1440, this is not news. It sounds like a stoner failing to teach a preschooler’s geography class.
