New New New( not your local station)

Absolutely love NEWSBREAK! They don’t water down or hide the “News” you need to know.

saved my sister in laws life.

100% worth downloading.

Your ad

Your ad is the most ignoring ad. I think I’ve ever seen and that’s saying something about the ads that you have to endure while playing games play your ad one time I don’t need to see it over and over and over. You must think people are idiots. we are not and we despise you were despicable ads. I know how to write ads. Do you want me to come to work for you because evidently the people that work for you have no idea.

Location marker in the way.

Great app but I can’t view the crimes directly near me because of my location marker popping up every time I try to click a crime report.

Lots of ai

For a news app there’s surprisingly a lot of AI videos junk videos like keep watching and you’ll see it kind of videos and there’s nothing honestly on the new side. I’ve gotten some pretty good news from it but the AI and the ads and all of that ruins the whole app too many of that if I’m gonna scroll like TikTok or Facebook or whatever at least have it be news related I get more news from TikTok actually than I do this app
