I haven’t seen frequent, unstoppable adverts like this app carries since the early days of the internet. ### 2/5 — Blocks my comments *2026-06-24, version 8.8.1* I’ve been adding my comments as I’m entitled to FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!! I am open to anyone messaging me if you disagree or AGREE. As FREEDOM OF SPEECH WORKS FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING!!! THAT’S WHY EUROPE, AMERICA AND THE UK FOUGHT 2 WORLD WARS. ### 3/5 — Advertising *2026-06-03, version 8.7.0* Too much advertising after reading now and then it’s just too much ### 4/5 — Приемлемо. *2026-05-19* Сам агрегатор новостей неплохой. Только раздел «Для вас», который не убрать, - подборка антироссийских статей из фейковых источников. Крестик на рекламе ведет на сайт рекламодателя. Половину источников, причем незаблокированных в РФ, открывает только через ВПН. Но в остальном нормально.. ;-) ### 3/5 — Wird immer unbrauchbarer *2026-05-16, version 8.7.0* Früher man eine tolle App. Aber mittlerweile eine Katastrophe. Immer wieder kann man nicht weiter scrollen weil Werbung geguckt werden soll. Neuerdings immer wieder Abstürze wo dann gar nichts mehr geht. ### 4/5 — INTERMEC *2026-03-27, version 8.6.0* ROBUSTA & ARABICA ### 4/5 — student *2026-03-24, version 8.6.0* & fear’s ! Why thing’s happening like this,.! ### 2/5 — Ultima actualización con exceso de propaganda *2026-03-22, version 8.6.0* La ultima actualización inundó de propagandas en cada scroll dentro de la app. Le das cerrar en lá X y te envía a comprar en la App Store. Me canse y decidí desinstalarla después de varios años de uso por este problema ### 3/5 — good but it put my music to silent or pause *2026-02-26, version 8.5.5* When I'm listening to music and the moment I open this app to read news it pauses my music. It's annoying!! ### 3/5 — Anuncios *2026-02-23, version 8.5.5* Son demasiados anuncios y me sacan de la aplicación ### 2/5 — Werbung *2026-02-20, version 8.5.5* zu viel Werbung ### 3/5 — Навязчивая реклама *2026-02-15* Навязчивая частая реклама, которая мешает чтению. Приходится постоянно перезагружать приложение. ### 3/5 — Zu viel Werbung *2026-01-20, version 8.5.4* Schade eigentlich: Konnte man mal sehr gut nutzen — mittlerweile ist Lesen kaum noch möglich, da man komplett mit allerlei unnachgiebiger Werbung zugemüllt wird. Sehr unangenehm. ### 1/5 — Clickbait and Lies *2026-01-18, version 8.5.4* Every article is more deceitful, dishonest, and decoupled from reality than the last. I’d give zero stars if possible. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-17, version 8.8.4* Used to be good but trying to read anything is ruined by ads ### 1/5 — Это фиаско *2026-08-11* Баннеры сплошняком ,новости не свежие, виснет, очень все не хорошо. Лучший выход удалится ### 1/5 — Biased *2026-07-29, version 8.8.4* Your rabid leftist daily dose of Trump hate. ### 1/5 — Leftist content *2026-07-14, version 8.8.2* I am deleting the app after enjoying it for several years because it post everything any leftist nut job prints without verifying the validity of it. Goodbye ### 1/5 — Click Bait City *2026-03-15, version 8.5.5* Trying to unsubscribe. This site is run on click bait, fake stories going nowhere and tons of ads from companies and places I would never engage. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Ads are annoying and fail to close *2026-03-11, version 8.5.5* Ads fail to close after opting out. Tired of the ads that interfere with articles. Stop the ads!! ### 1/5 — Crazy ADS *2026-03-07, version 8.5.5* I use to be a big fan. Way more ads than ever now Really POOR!!!! ### 1/5 — Stop ads pop mid during read the news *2026-02-13, version 8.5.5* Why there ads kept popping up every time I click different news and pop up during mid reading the news!!!!!
