### 5/5 — Great, and could be excellent with 1 fix

*2022-11-28, version 4.0.67*

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!

### 2/5 — Has promise but news source filtering doesn't work

*2022-10-28, version 4.0.67*

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.

### 3/5 — Great news app until it’s not

*2022-05-21, version 3.2.19*

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.

### 2/5 — Going downhill

*2022-05-21, version 3.2.19*

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

### 1/5 — Not even opens

*2022-03-21, version 3.1.3*

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

### 4/5 — Update

*2021-11-01, version 2.1.2*

I’m going to give this another chance and upgraded to a 4…will change to a 5 if promised fixes come through. Before the app began having issues it was phenomenal—wide range of articles, truly balanced selection, let’s you filter out those behind paywalls. I got an immediate response after my complaint, and fixes are in the works. I can be patient. 

Original review:

I really want to like this app—apple news is beyond slanted and mostly subscription.  But: it never works. It shows articles but when you select them it sends you to different articles. It shows there are 17 articles in a topic but when you click to see them, it takes you to a loading screen then freezes, the only way to leave that is shut the app down completely. Delete and reinstall doesn’t work. No way to contact creators except email that doesn’t work. Look elsewhere

### 1/5 — Why is this app featured?

*2021-09-12, version 2.1.2*

Really limited. Haven’t been updated in months

### 1/5 — Buggy App- Lazy Developers

*2021-06-28, version 2.1.2*

Signed up on their pre release beta. 

App released end now can’t get into app,

Try to create account and it says my email already exists.

Try to go signin and it says email doesn’t exist. Same for recover password,

Developers not interested in helping resolve.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-06-11, version 2.1.2*

I don’t review often (because I’m lazy), but this is truly one of the greatest apps of this year. It is designed so well. It has no ads. It is extremely unbiased.

Great jobs guys.

### 2/5 — Biased

*2021-05-26, version 2.0.44*

Get a lot of Fox, Breitbart, and Newsweek in the feed. Deleted
