User reviews

Great, and could be excellent with 1 fix

Great app - customizable, balanced, and beautiful…. But why can we not change the reader font? It seems like we are stuck with one reader view which is very annoying. Please enable us to change the font!

Has promise but news source filtering doesn't work

I had so much hope and went through and turned off most of the default news sources, including The South China Morning Post. Go back over to the Top News tab and one of the first articles I see is from that exact news org, then I notice one from The Daily Wire which I also had made sure to disable. With sources such as OAN in the mix (default enabled...really!?) which knowingly publish falsehoods and conspiracy theories this means I can't trust the app.

The topic filters also appeared not to work, but after a few rounds of re-filtering and reloading they did take effect.

Great news app until it’s not

Have used for a while. Love the content and local news, however recently it won’t even pull up any content on my iPad and asks me to remove filters and retry. Frustrating and sorry to see a good content app going up in flames for me.

Going downhill

Before this app changed its name. It was my favorite news app. Now it takes way too long to load, and the stories that it feeds are a joke. There’s way more fluff pieces now than actual news, and it’s not worth the time anymore. Removed from my devices

Not even opens

I downloaded this app. But, when I try to open it, immediately closes down. Waste of time to download!
