### 5/5 — Relieved

*2026-06-27, version 4.6.6*

Living in a small, predominantly conservative town, finding The Pink Press felt like finally exhaling. When the local news doesn’t reflect your life, your community, or your existence — this app does.

The Pink Press fills a gap that mainstream media has ignored for far too long. It covers the stories, legislation, culture, and community moments that actually matter to LGBTQ+ people, without having to piece it together from a dozen different sources. Whether it’s political updates that directly affect our rights or feel-good stories celebrating queer joy, this app delivers it all in one place.

As a lesbian in a town where representation is nearly nonexistent, having a news source that sees me — and reports for me — is genuinely meaningful. It’s not just an app. It’s a reminder that our community is large, vibrant, and worthy of coverage.

Highly recommend to anyone who’s ever felt invisible in their local news feed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 5/5 — Love You!

*2026-05-18, version 4.6.6*

I love your app I just discovered! I love seeing great stories about my people

### 1/5 — This lot is unbelievable...

*2026-01-06, version 4.6.6*

The whole things is so untransparent. I got my comment banned... in an instant. No reason was given, there was no way for me to have another look at my comment, possibly edit. (Design flaw or intentional? Probably the latter.) We are just subjected to some algorithms with no way of defending yourself. Now... that is what I call fascism. Still... as long as they can gender, the(ir) world is all rosy and perfect and the rest can eff themselves. One star 'cause I am coerced to do so... I'd gladly have given them absolutely nothing. This is PC in reverse.

### 5/5 — TMC

*2025-09-30, version 4.6.6*

Great to see what’s going on in the world for our community in these very challenging times

### 5/5 — One Problem

*2025-09-09, version 4.6.6*

I Love ❤️ the app and what you do for the LGBTQ Community. The only problem is when logging into my account after putting in the necessary information and logging in. All I get is a blank black screen and when tapping on it. Just brings me back to the account log in like nothing ever was attempted. Please 🙏🏻 fix this issue. Thank You.

### 1/5 — Slow and drains battery

*2025-06-22, version 4.6.6*

I love Pink News. I love the site. I love the content. But…

This app doesn’t work well on my phone. Maybe my phone is too old but it frequently takes over a minute to load a new feed or fails and needs another refresh. And if I forget to exit the app completely after using it, it will drain my battery in the background.

### 5/5 — FOREVER PRIDE

*2025-05-23, version 4.6.6*

It is nice to have a news service where I can read and learn about news and events, stories related to LGBTQ+. Having grown up in the sixties everything then was protest oriented or political negativity.

### 1/5 — Update more frequently

*2025-03-16, version 4.6.6*

Same news articles for days. Nothing new regularly. Gets old seeing the same articles day after day. Nothing new to read.

### 1/5 — run by abusers.

*2024-12-11, version 4.6.6*

at first, as a trans person, i really valued pinknews as a source of positive lgbt news and i enjoyed using the app. now i’m uninstalling it and never visiting the website again as i’ve learned that the founders have been accused of sexual abuse of multiple junior team members. the community deserves better than this, and i can’t in good conscience continue to support this source and app.

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2024-09-29, version 4.6.4*

I deleted this app when it came to light all the awful things the owners did. I went and reread some articles and you see how all of them are written to pink bait the community not empower it.
