Used to in the past. Otherwise, pretty good. ### 2/5 — Old news from CBS is dumped into feed *2020-05-20, version 4.5* All of a sudden there is a plethora of CBS news dumped into the feed and it’s from months ago. You need to fix this glitch. You aren’t a great newsfeed, but you’re succinct and usually have varied news sources listed. Get it together, guys. ### 1/5 — Extremely frustrating. *2020-01-02, version 4.4* I only need a few local news feeds, it is frustrating in the extreme to have to hide each one individually. It took 30 minutes to turn off all the U.S. feeds and there is no obvious way to do it simply, by having a switch for each country. Now uninstalled, but I will keep an eye open for new versions. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2019-11-26, version 4.4* I once, keenly used this app but it has sold out to subscription news providers. If you don’t pay a subscription you don’t get the news. Mark ### 1/5 — UNSTABLE *2019-10-20, version 4.4* You need to fix this FAST. Since OS update 13.1.2 this app has become almost unusable..... flickers..... jumps ..... more than a week later STILL unstable !! ### 1/5 — Very Straight Forward *2019-09-27, version 4.3* Ah yes a very straight forward news app that in it simplicity lulls the reader into thinking this is all very unbiased. Nothing could be further from the truth, most stories come direct from the NYT, New York Times. ### 3/5 — Titles missplaced *2018-12-05, version 4.3* Often click headlines only to find the body of the article belongs to another unrelated headline. Headlines lead to nonexistent articles. Your editing leaves a lot to be desired. ### 4/5 — Too much *2018-09-18, version 4.3* Far too much Australian news The Sports section is very relevant ### 1/5 — Too many teasers *2018-08-20, version 4.3* Flooded recently with subscriber only article news sources. ### 3/5 — Great Breaking News replacement, but needs a way to prevent spoilers *2018-05-22, version 4.3* This is a great replacement for Breaking News, but there’s no way to filter for spoilers (sports, entertainment, etc). 5 stars if they sort this out. ### 1/5 — CK *2018-03-31, version 4.3* This was a decent site but now they pull articles that dead end on subscription sites & most annoying is the ton of pop up ads that they will remove for a fee ### 1/5 — DONE *2018-03-13* After being a loyal user of this app for over FIVE years I’m officially deleting it. The developers pulled one of the lowest, most disgusting moves I think I’ve ever seen in. You may no longer manipulate videos (pause, FF, RW, see length) because they’ve so gracefully placed a mini rectangular unremovable ad box across the bottom of the screen. It’s beyond annoying and the only way to remove it is to dish out money for news you can literally get for free anywhere else, with just a click. To the developers: You guys are the literal definition of dirtbags. Enjoy your downfall. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-06-13, version 4.7* This app has gone downhill in recent years but it has reached a new low by mixing in articles from circa 2020. I’m done. ### 1/5 — Privacy nightmare *2021-10-25, version 4.5* This app copies data from your clipboard every time you open the app. Developer refuses to stop harvesting personal data. ### 1/5 — Clipboard snooping *2021-09-03, version 4.5* It would be a 5* otherwise. App deleted. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-06-10, version 4.5* In the last few days, 10/6/21, app won’t work. It only opens a few local papers..seems it won’t work with Safari anymore ### 1/5 — This app no longer works *2021-06-10, version 4.5* Since 9 June 2021, any news story you open flashes up briefly on screen and is then replaced by message ‘a problem repeatedly occurred with page...[page link]’. ### 1/5 — Flash is the right word! *2021-05-28, version 4.5* As a news app this one is a disaster! Only virulent ‘left wing’ papers run with next to no reloads, all the rest just reload and reload ad nauseam - always have and, it seems, always will! Is there no one on your developers team with the computor skill to correct this? ### 1/5 — Spyware? *2021-03-17, version 4.5* The App keeps pasting the contents of your clipboard without you giving them permission to do so. This means if you copied something to your clipboard to use in another application, and then opened NewsFlash, a warning will come on screen telling you it pasted those contents to NewsFlash. This seems dangerous. ### 1/5 — Steals from clipboard *2020-12-10, version 4.5* Why does this app need to steal the contents of my clipboard every time I use it? ### 1/5 — Security risk *2020-10-23, version 4.5* Application unnecessarily reads clipboard on start ### 1/5 — What’s with the “paste”? *2020-09-27, version 4.5* I used to really love the convenience of this app, however with the updates in ios14, I’m curious as to why I get a notification every time I open the app that it’s automatically pasted whatever was last on my clipboard. Dodgy dodgy dodgy. I’m out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rediscovered *2025-04-27, version 4.7* Lots of news for good overview ### 5/5 — Icon *2024-09-17, version 4.6* I’ve been using this app for years. It’s fantastic ! Please change icon to be able to have dark mode also ### 5/5 — The best IMO *2020-09-23, version 4.5* Seriously have tried ALOT of feed readers and this one is great! Besides being able to add your own feeds and hide other feeds, makes this THE most usable reader out there. It’s simple. No bloat no crap. People have complained that some news sources don’t work. True they don’t because the news site changed feed policies or the link was changed. It happens. I went in and added SO MANY of my own links and everything works. So don’t be lazy...learn! Update: still the best. I really hope the developer keeps the app updated for future iOS versions. This is a amazing news feed app. Hands down 10 ⭐️!!! ### 5/5 — Feedback *2020-03-07, version 4.5* This app definitely NEEDS a widget fast because it’s a great app but it needs a widget put that on this app soon it’s talking so long to get it put on ### 5/5 — The best. *2019-09-18, version 4.3* This is my go to app for news. Can’t believe the negative reviews. Pay for the add free version and enjoy. For the price of one newspaper you get the world at your finger tips. ### 5/5 — Great convenient fast app *2019-07-19, version 4.3* Runs on the lowest of bandwidth, fast. Love its feed into other countries. ### 5/5 — Automatic Reader view is wonderful *2018-05-22, version 4.3* ... And the widest selection of news from around the world of all the apps I've tried. ### 5/5 — Still the best news app *2018-04-29, version 4.3* This news app gives the most comprehensive diverse news experience. The best experience is when it is set to open articles in reader mode rather than safari. If an article doesn’t load well in reader mode you simply hit the top right “reader” button to view it in web mode. ### 5/5 — Version 4.3: bug report - ads appear even though I paid to remove them *2018-01-15, version 4.3* BUG: I paid the premium to remove ads in the app, but the new update has ads at the bottom. Please fix. PROS: 1-A snapshot of news from a variety of sources, so instead of getting just one view, you get a variety. 2-Love the nightfall theme, which is easy on the eyes. 3-You can customise the home screen so you get the topics you want in the order you want. 4-You can change the font size so anyone can read it comfortably. 5-Swipe right along the topics bar and you can change the country of origin. HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: 1-Add the ability to delete feeds that are no longer active. 2-Add the ability to delete the default feeds instead of just hiding them. 3-Make it easier to add RSS feeds. CONCLUSION: I’ve used several news apps, and this is one of my favourites. ### 5/5 — News Hound *2017-07-31, version 4.1* Being a working Mom I don't always get s chance to sit down and watch the news. Newsflash keeps me informed on what's going on in the world. I love this app!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
