NTD seems to have far more news and reports on issues regarding Trump. ### 2/5 — iPadOS 26.2 messes up yet another App *2026-01-18, version 1.10.3* Do you recall the way iPads used to do when the Y had minimal memory and when you clicked on an app there would be a flashed black screen and the app wouldn’t open? Well now with over 120 Gb of free memory and running the iPadOS 26.2 that Apple forced us to install, OANN is doing it again. I will delete the app and re-install in a few weeks after developers have time to fix this problem, probably just about the time that Apple messes it up again! ### 3/5 — Good App *2025-11-28, version 1.10.3* Seems to crash a lot with iOS 26 ### 3/5 — What’s wrong? *2025-11-28, version 1.10.3* Use this app everyday for news articles but the last two days it won’t open. I keep looking for an update to fix the glitch but there are no updates. ### 3/5 — Update Please *2025-10-17, version 1.10.3* It needs work updating headlines and latest news. Same stories for days ### 2/5 — Bad formatting, slow, uploading, cannot leave comments *2025-08-05, version 1.10.3* Bad formatting, slow, uploading, cannot leave comments ### 4/5 — Needs Font Size preference *2025-06-24, version 1.10.3* App is much improved over previous versions, but still lacks the ability to choose font sizing and text reflow for users who require larger point sizes for legibility. ### 2/5 — Why are you later than others *2025-02-25, version 1.10.3* You are constantly 1-2 days late with news headlines. I’ll read about the goings on with other apps and what I read today, from those apps, will be a OANN headline notification tomorrow or even the day after. ### 1/5 — Why? *2025-01-25, version 1.10.3* Been over 7 hours since confirming of new Secretary of Defense and your latest headline is failed Harris seeking advice from Cinton. WTH ### 1/5 — They need to fix this *2025-01-19, version 1.10.3* I have tried 5 million times to sign up and pay for; have a subscription to, This app and it is the most frustrating thing in the world. I can’t get anywhere. There is no contact us, no support no webpage type presence at all. It’s just a page with two fields to sign into and then it doesn’t take your name and go on and take you to register you as a paying customer. ### 1/5 — Disgusting Ads *2025-01-12, version 1.10.3* Ads frequently show disgusting images such as worms growing out of people’s feet. Other news providers don’t seem to suffer such issues. I have deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Apple TV *2025-01-09, version 1.10.3* Doesn’t Work. Every time it hits a commercial break, it buffers then crashes. Apple TV and app are updated. All other streaming services are working normally. ### 2/5 — ADS CONCEALED AS NEWS -FAKE *2024-12-25, version 1.10.3* DELETING App after years due to increasing AD TRASH posing as NEWS. The sad thing is people believe it. They are fear tactics to get you to buy or subscribe to the advertiser. The ads and news are not even distinguished apart from each other. DELETE AFTER I POST! I won’t be back this time! ### 1/5 — Why the smut ads? *2024-12-12, version 1.10.3* For a news provider that leans conservative, what’s with the slutty advertisements between stories? I look elsewhere for my news just because I don’t want to see that junk. ### 1/5 — Always crashes…never loads after a news “alert” *2024-11-24, version 1.10.3* See above ### 3/5 — Spools and kicks off *2024-11-14, version 1.10.3* I like the content of the OAN app, but getting into it is difficult. When I’m sent a notification from it, and touch on it, it spools. Often times it goes from spooling to kicking me out completely. I try to get back in directly from the app, but it often kicks me out at least 2 more times, before I am successful. I keep hoping the updates will fix it, but it never does. I don’t know how to contact the app admins, so I guess I’ll voice my concerns here. I have several apps on my phone, but this is the ONLY one I have this problem with. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-11-07, version 1.10.3* It does not open and does not stream videos correctly and just crashes. Fix it please. ### 2/5 — Needs a big improvement *2024-11-02, version 1.10.3* The app continues to stop working or will not update the post. On IOS it has stopped working after IOS18.1 was updated. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App Crashes at startup *2026-08-12, version 1.10.3* Every time I open the app it crashes. I deleted and reinstalled and get the same result. ### 1/5 — Chinese Sponsored *2026-07-06, version 1.10.3* Years ago this was a descent app, but no longer. Temu advertising in boarders between news stories with pictures of scantily dressed women. This isn’t a news app, it’s just a Chinese run catalog dressed in sheep clothing. ### 1/5 — No Notifications *2026-04-28, version 1.10.3* Used to get notifications until recently. Tried uninstalling but no joy. iphone 8 running iOS 16.7.15 (20H380) ### 1/5 — BROKEN *2026-02-10, version 1.10.3* I never had a problem with this app until now. No new stories in 4 days. I have tried everything including swiping down to push new stories. I also uninstalled/reinstalled and it’s still the same. Please fix the app so that I don’t have to move on. ### 1/5 — Advertising *2025-11-23, version 1.10.3* Disgusting advertising showing female body parts for I have absolutely no idea what because the print is so tiny, but there is no option to delete ad or hide ad or not interested in ad, I have deleted this app ### 1/5 — No free flag *2025-08-25, version 1.10.3* You have to purchase magazine subscription to pay for the flag. Do not download. ### 1/5 — None of the articles open to read. *2025-06-21, version 1.10.3* Installed uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. The article name and photograph comes up, but when you touch the screen to open it, nothing happens that just doesn’t work on my Apple phone at all. Other than that, the content is great cause I read it on chrome. ### 1/5 — Terrible formatting *2025-02-09, version 1.10.3* This APP is not formatted for an IPad. Tops of pictures are chopped off and sometimes there is a double picture. Even in your APP preview one can see a picture with the top chopped. ### 1/5 — Worms coming out of bottom on foot. *2025-02-04, version 1.10.3* WTH. Why you do such gross ads!!?? That’s why I left you. But, realy?!! Why ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-01-28, version 1.10.3* Takes a long time it sometimes didn’t load at all. I use a Ground News instead now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App issue *2025-11-28, version 1.10.3* This is not review. I have been trying to open the OANN app on my I 16 phone and it doesn’t seem to be working I’m not sure why I’m hoping you can help me with this issue. Other than that I enjoy the news feed. Excellent news feed ### 5/5 — Top News! *2024-11-09, version 1.10.3* This is the main news source I used nowadays, as well as NTD. I switched to OAN because of Fox News turning their back on us. OAN is the best news out there, and I recommend it to everyone! Thank you Robert Herring! ### 5/5 — Just the facts *2024-10-15, version 1.6.3* I have tried many Apps and this one stands out in front. No need to pay for honest world news, keeps you up to date with the important world news. ### 5/5 — Real news! *2024-03-09, version 1.6.3* I finally found news I can trust. ### 5/5 — Truth to power *2024-03-08, version 1.6.3* Honest and non woke news reporting. ### 5/5 — Needs update - iOS 17 *2023-10-03, version 1.6.3* App was working flawlessly until the iOS 17 update. I play and listen in my vehicle. If I get a call or something, the app stops playing. Will not respond to play on the vehicle screen or within the app. I have to close the app out and reopen it. Kinda hard to do when driving. ### 5/5 — Love *2023-02-24, version 1.6.3* Love this station, and got the Live version. For some reason though, their service has issues sporadically maybe because so many are bent on removing truth in media, which is why I stay loyal. Keep up the good work, and let us know when your site is back up again! ### 5/5 — Great work *2021-07-11, version 1.4.1* Please add Apple TV to the supported devices. Many thanks ### 5/5 — Trouble! *2021-04-16* I love this news station! I get notifications on my phone but the problem is when I go to open it it just disappears so I’m download I had downloaded the app and I go to Owen and hit it and it starts to open and then it just disappears so for some reason lately I cannot get it! It just won’t open. I would appreciate it if somebody would write me or text me back to let me know what the problem is is it the the liberal extremist that are stopping it or blocking it because I don’t I can’t get it anymore so thank you for any help! ### 5/5 — Great News, but same problem with crashing. *2021-02-13, version 1.4* Every time I try to read an article or stream, it crashes after approx 10 to 15 seconds and boots me back to home apps page. Today is Feb 13, 2021. I give it a five star for news quality and a 1 star for being able to read or stream. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
