### 5/5 — Best AI News Summary

*2026-06-25*

Excellent app, best of the AI ones I’ve tried, the formatting of including 5ws and ELI5 is fantastic. Only suggestion would be to add a read/completed button or toggle for each article and to filter for just for today’s releases so there is an end - I can sit there and scroll forever!

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2026-02-11*

A focus on types of articles/stories don't seem to be available and the summaries provided often focus on stating the issues regarding the matter but not including the reasons why

**Developer response:** Hi Fred, thanks for taking the time to leave a review — this kind of feedback genuinely helps us improve NewsCard.

Just a couple of tips that might help! For article types, you can filter by category or search for any term you like to find stories on the topics that matter most to you. And for the 'why' behind a story, try tapping the Background link on any card — it's designed to give you the deeper context and reasons behind the headline.

We hope that improves your experience! Feel free to reach out at support@newscardapp.com if you have any further suggestions.

### 5/5 — Quick, smart news

### 5/5 — Loving NewsCard Already

*2025-09-19*

I just installed NewsCard and I’m already loving it. The summaries are so clean and easy to follow, it makes keeping up with the news feel simple, and I actually understand what’s going on without having to dive into long articles.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that NewsCard® is making it easier to follow the news and stay informed without the overwhelm.
