Several updates in the last week or two
I usually time out while waiting for information to load. It might be nice if they actually tested their updates before they issued it. Can we go back to the version three or four versions ago because that one didn’t seem to have any problems.
Excellent!!!
I love this app. Use it all the time.
disappointed in NFB News Line and just a few ways
it’s very disappointing that NFB News Line doesn’t insist that the Boston Globe lets us read by line. Also that there was a telegram and Gazette‘s content is almost nonexistent except for obituaries. You know there’s a lot going on in Worcester. We don’t even get to hear about it because you refuse to bake them, give us the content of the newspaper.

Difficult to change
It makes me wonder if NFB thinks we never move from one place to another. I’m having a difficult time changing it from Indiana to Kentucky. There seems to be nowhere to change my information. I really think the app is outdated and doesn’t work the way it should. And then that makes me wonder if my data is being stolen and sold.

Articles from newspapers
I had the Saint Paul Pioneer press as one of the periodic articles that I'd like to check out. Predominantly for the obituaries. Sundays are only 10 listed here. Why only 10 when there's Sunday has many many more?!
NFB-NEWSLINE
Good evening NFB-NEWSLINE team developers my name is Ulises Gomez. I am a proud NFB-NEWSLINE customer. I’ve been using the app for a long time. It is 100% accessible with VoiceOver. I would like to see updates coming into the app. Keep up the great work NFB-NEWSLINE team sincerely, Ulises a proud NFB-NEWSLINE customer three periods six!!

This app is useful.
This app is useful. As a blind person myself, I am able to read the news and other magazines just like everyone else. I've been subscribed to NFB Newsline since 2023 and it's awesome.
NFB Newsline Review
I am highly pleased with the service. Newspapers are struggling to survive and my hometown newspaper has a lot of reprinted articles from other papers so I feel fortunate to have access to The Washington Post, New York Times, etc. I’m very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you.
Hartford current articles are being reported partially and not full
I fully support NFB-NEWSLINE, however, for the past week articles being reported in the Hartford current which is my hometown newspaper are not being reported in full and they’re indicating that if you’re subscriber, then you have to sign in or and this is not functional and it doesn’t make sense so I just wanted to express my disclosure with this issue which is going on like I said for one week

Five stars when it actually works
But zero stars when it doesn’t. It’s August 25, 2024, and for the last several weeks the app seems to be crashing on a regular basis. Can’t use it at all when that happens, which is terribly inconvenient. I appreciate that it’s free, but lately I’ve been getting what I paid for.
Just one issue
This app is pretty good, does what I need it to do and I can read the news I want to read. But for some reason, none of the articles I’m reading contain apostrophes. It’s like they’ve been removed, and voiceover will read things to me like, “can t” or “didn t”. What’s up with that? Is this a weird thing the developers have done, rather than escaping the ‘ apostrophe character? No clue, but anyhow that’s my only complaint.

why do you make changes without input from the users?
once again, you’re making changes without input from the users. The weather forecast is now much more tedious than it was containing information that’s totally useless. We are not scientists please remove the decimal point from the wind, speed and temperature. It makes no sense, including this information, and only makes the app more tedious than you have already made it tedious by making a swipe past periods in a text. also, why is there no response from NFB News Line regarding the 300 comments that are in place? Why are you so out of touch with the people you’re supposed to be serving?

Very disappointed
First of all I very much appreciate NFB News Line and the people that are providing us with this content I’ve been a user for many years and felt that the original version was much better. The new version it is so tedious it’s just plain sad. I read the Boston Globe and recently they did away with being able to read articles line by line. Spacev there’s no way to read an article line by line so if I miss something near the end I have to start all over again on a waste of my time. Adding a reader to this app was just such a big mistake. Regarding the my favorites section it worked just fine before I could read the whole paper going back-and-forth back-and-forth back-and-forth from page to page it’s extremely tedious and not very well done. I have called the 800 number many times and talked about things that don’t work and they’re very helpful.
It’s about a year later and they still haven’t fixed saving an article to my email.
Also, many publications have incomplete articles like Consumer Reports. The first four articles are nonexistent just a byline and a headache.

Global news search not working in 3.3.1
No matter which device I use, iPhone or iPad, global news search always tells me that there is a problem communicating with the server. So I can't look up anything. Other than that, it's a great app and provides a service to great to evaluate.

Grumpy
Super unhappy with all the changes from the recent update.
I got good news and bad news
The app has been very effective for for several years but starting in July 1 the new update has caused the app to be unusable I have notified the helpdesk and only have been told today to reinstall this must be corrected because I utilize this app daily
Latest update has made the app on usable
The latest 3.1 update on July 2, 2022 has made the news line app unusable. I am no longer able to open individual articles. This renders the app useless.
This is very disappointing to me because I use this app daily. It is my primary source of news information.
Sure do hope whoever is responsible for the app figures out what has broken, and pushes an update ASAP.

Keeping updated in today’s world
Politically speaking access to the left and to the right worldwide. Lots of good entertainment, environmental issues, and access to the medical world.
Out of the darkness
I would like to state my appreciation for the NFB Newsline for providing a wide range of magazines, and other interesting information that would otherwise not be accessible to blind persons. I love the fact that smartphones can access this service on-the-go and how easy it is to navigate. Thank you for opening the eyes for blind people, by helping us to access a great variety of topics. I give a rating of excellent!
