### 2/5 — Blah

*2026-08-20, version 510.0.1*

This app has always been serviceable. But, it’s just blah. Not clean, not organized, not easy on the eyes. It’s a sub par app.

### 3/5 — The Guthrie Channel

*2026-07-31, version 509.0.0*

I was really hoping to get some kind of balanced news delivery and for the most part I was happy with that but then the Nancy Guthrie case hit the news and NewsNation seems to have some kind of fixation with it no matter what else is happening in the world and there's a lot happening so I'm done. Deleted.

### 2/5 — Worst car play app ever

*2026-06-14, version 508.0.0*

Please figure this out.

### 3/5 — Ads too easy to accidentally click

*2026-05-28, version 508.0.0*

I like this app but when scrolling through an article it’s too easy to accidentally touch one of the many large blocks of ads and off you go to look at the product being advertised. It’s very annoying and disruptive

### 3/5 — Beginning to Resemble Fox News

*2026-04-05, version 506.0.0*

I like having a news network and app that is moderate politically, but NN now seems too motivated to trend toward MAGA nation with the Pavlich hire.  If I wanted Trump loving kissy kissy “conservatives”, I would just watch the sycophants at Fox.  Why not go get a true free market economic libertarian type at 10 pm?  Trump loving hosts cheer him on as he expands big government statism and graft.  Come on NN - go get a young George Will type at 10 pm.  You know they exist somewhere.

### 2/5 — Great news, horrible app

*2026-04-03, version 506.0.0*

If you want to design the worst possible interface for a news app, look no further. It is here.

### 3/5 — Moves to other stories without action from me

*2026-03-07, version 505.0.0*

When I am scrolling through the stories the app seems to have a mind of its own, jump to other screen/stories I wasn’t looking to read.  Frustrating that it keeps moving to other areas in the app

### 3/5 — Stopped loading 3-7-2026

*2026-03-07, version 505.0.0*

Reinstalled and still
Blank 

Clicked on app support and it just tries to open the same blank screen

### 3/5 — Pictures way to big

*2026-03-06, version 505.0.0*

Great content but those full screen pictures give me a headache. Until I can adjust in app I will pass on this app. Thank you.

### 1/5 — ANNOYING

*2026-02-10, version 504.0.1*

This app just randomly opens articles and ads while scrolling. I can’t tell you how many times you have to click the back button or get out of some pop up ads cause the app just opens randomly.

### 2/5 — Can n longer stream through Apple TV

*2026-01-27, version 504.0.0*

I used to be able to stream News Nation through Apple TV linking through my cable provider but I got logged out and in order to get logged back in I need to use an activation code. For some reason every time I submit the code I get an error saying the code is no good. I sent 3 emails to their support team but no answer. Horrible customer service!

### 2/5 — Jumps into article while scrolling.

*2026-01-22, version 504.0.0*

This app needs to be worked on, it always jumps to the news articles as I’m scrolling and always find myself having to go back to the main page.
Please fix.

### 3/5 — Good News Feed - Annoying App

*2026-01-15, version 503.0.1*

Good news feed, but as you scroll down it constantly scrolls right to other sections. Very annoying.

### 3/5 — Decent news source - bad ads

*2025-12-30, version 503.0.1*

I realize ads are the easiest way to monetize these apps. I can live with ads but when the ad placement prevents me from simply scrolling through the story, or the application itself, I give up. Too frustrating to use efficiently - deleted.

### 1/5 — Works Poorly

*2025-12-23, version 503.0.1*

Though the content is good. , operation of the app suffers horribly.

### 1/5 — Over commercializes

*2025-12-17, version 503.0.1*

Way to may commercials and constantly clicks on article that you haven’t actually clicked in a way to achieve more money from sadvertiseds

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-06-16, version 508.0.0*

Really needs help with its usu ability. Performs horribly when working in concert with other apps. Needs zero stars tbh

### 1/5 — YouTube TV link doesn’t work

*2026-06-14, version 508.0.0*

Tried to Link my YTTV sign in for live news on the app and it doesn’t load. Stays on a blank screen every time. Tried it on my laptop browser same thing. Will delete the app for now and hope they fix soon.

### 1/5 — Can’t login using YouTube tv

*2026-05-23, version 508.0.0*

Fix YouTube tv login.

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2026-05-12, version 507.0.0*

Notifications not working with IPhone. NewsNation doesn’t show up in the notifications options for iPhone.

### 1/5 — Annoying link redirects

*2026-04-23, version 507.0.0*

It’s annoying how many link redirects there are when you’re simply trying to read an article.

### 1/5 — Do they even care?

*2026-03-28*

The App is so different than what I experience with the network. Do they even have people working on the app?  Do they care? The interface is inefficient and the top news stories are often not covering the top stories of the day.  Videos don’t run smoothly. Images don’t appear in the story. Ads pop up inexplicably. I really like News Nation Networl for its relatively neutral coverage of the News but the app doesn’t seem to align with the Network in terms of bias. I have patiently been waiting for the app to improve but I am very close to reaching the point of deleting it.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2026-03-23, version 505.0.0*

I try to read an article and new articles are constantly opening without my clicking on them. No longer worth the hassle. Used to be a great source for news.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-03-17, version 505.0.0*

First is the ads that you keep tapping accidentally which takes you away from the app. Then its the switching screens constantly, drives you nuts. Now on top of that, the articles are now in hieroglyphics, very difficult to read! Terrible App

### 1/5 — Guthrie

*2026-03-05, version 505.0.0*

Hundreds of people are abducted/murdered everyday. Who tf cares about Nancy fkin Guthrie?! Not me!!!!

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage

*2026-02-16, version 504.0.1*

This app is dysfunctional, whoever developed it for NewsNation owns them a complete rebuild or a refund!

### 5/5 — The Only News Source I Truly Trust!

*2026-05-16*

If you are tired of partisan spin and want actual, objective journalism, the NewsNation app is an absolute must-have. It has officially become my main news source—and honestly, at this point, it’s the only one I truly trust to give me the facts straight without some hidden agenda.
The reporting is incredibly well-balanced, streamlined, and covers crucial stories that other mainstream outlets completely ignore. The app itself is fantastic—it runs smoothly, has a clean and professional layout, and makes it incredibly easy to navigate breaking news and in-depth investigations. If you want high-level, credible journalism right at your fingertips, download this app immediately. I really can’t recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Notifications not appearing , TV login issue

*2026-05-01, version 507.0.0*

Notifications don’t appear on iPhone . I have the newest iPhone with the latest software The notification prompt doesn’t appear & isn’t in my iPhone notifications settings either. There is also an issue where it won’t let me connect my YouTube TV account. Other than that it’s a great app five stars I wanted to bring this to your attention

### 5/5 — Most Unbiased News

*2026-03-04, version 505.0.0*

Thank you for the real reporting. I’m so sick of the left and right channels trying to tell us how to think. America needs more news from you and candidates who will work together on what they do agree on as opposed to all this tribalism. Your people are great - thanks again!

### 5/5 — The ONLY station to watch for UNBIASED news.

*2026-01-05, version 503.0.1*

I love this station and watch this all day long to stay abreast of the news!  I trust no other station!

### 5/5 — About time

*2025-11-05, version 502.0.0*

I really wanted a unaffiliated politically centrist approach to news and now it’s a reality.

### 5/5 — Judy Lynn

*2025-11-03*

I love News Nation although at this time I can only listen to it on my IPhone. Chris Cuomo and Dan Abrams were my favorite though I am learning to like the replacement. Suddenly the app is no longer opening for me. I just get a blank page. Please advise. I consider myself an Independent Republican. Help me know how to hear it again. I had heard it about 6 months until yesterday!

### 5/5 — Unbiased news

*2025-10-10, version 501.0.0*

Unlike every single other news channel NewsNation focuses on giving the facts without any opinions, so you can have your own.

### 5/5 — Mobile app for car

*2025-09-16, version 501.0.0*

Love NewsNation and used to listen via Apple car play but for some reason the app closes as soon as you open it. I have deleted the app and reinstalled hoping this fixes the issue. 

Love the channel and hosts. Keep up the great work!!! 🥳

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2025-06-23, version 500.8.1*

Great app for all the news,  when you just want the news, not opinions.
