Won’t load stories most of the time
Have a new phone so it’s not an equipment issue. Love this app but am getting frustrated with the inconsistent content loading issues.
Trash
I have somehow been disallowed to comment unless I use disqus, who is then allowed to post on my behalf. Less than one star if allowed.
No longer works
Please fix the app. Keeps saying I have to “verify my session”, then takes me the online version of Newser.
Bigotry being platformed and on-tap at Newser in the Comments sections for every story.
The Newser app crashes over and over. Some days it doesn’t work all day, then it’ll work again, then it will break again for a day… wash, rinse, repeat.
Also, it’s becoming apparent that many stories are now being churned out using AI.
Also, the comments sections for the stories are completely overrun with poorly-spelled, obnoxious, ignorant, racist, christian-nationalistic, misogynistic and homophobic creeps who don’t contribute anything to a conversation. These commenters are solely writing things to offend/upset people.
And Newser admins do absolutely nothing about it, even when those users are reported… which is a form of supporting such behavior. Platforming soccer-hooligan-style “own the libtards” commentary makes Newser complicit. Sure, they want clicks, and outrage spawns clicks… But come on, Newser. Ban people who are breaking your own rules of engagement, please. It’s sad and vile and greedy, and you should be better than that.
For real objective news, I am now using BBC and C-SPAN. Newser is part of the problem. Too bad… it was a convenient format. Goodbye, Newser.
