Relieved

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

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

One Problem

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.

Slow and drains battery

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.

FOREVER PRIDE

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.

Update more frequently

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

run by abusers.

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.

Deleted

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.

Billy boy

Yes

Amazing App

I’ve enjoyed this app for a while now new updates have it made it better in my opinion & the ability to see lgbtq+ news & be able to pick certain topics to show up on your feed of sorts is great.

Inability to log in

Whenever I attempt to login to an account on the app it doesn’t let me and whenever I attempt to reset my password it says that there’s an error and doesn’t let me reset my password

It’s helpful

Thank suou. We love this app.

Poor standard paper

You rejected my comment but you are quick to take the money for me you are no longer a gay paper good bye

So interesting

We love the app but it’s a little better than when I downloaded it last time and I feel like it would be better if you put me in the news

Poor performance

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a fibre connection so not the worst tech in the world. However scrolling through the stories causes severe stuttering which was so annoying I deleted the app. Probably the issue is caused like so many other modern apps and packed to the rafters with trackers and advertising. Not a great first experience Guys 😔

Clunky

Can be slow to load and a lot of notifications load a blank screen and have to quit and find it yourself. Would also recommend they stop using social media post in news that are for threads if they don’t reproduce the thread as it means, especially with X, that you can never read the thread without signing up to X. Rather be signing up to Pink News and not have them be a poster board for X 🫨

Always something good to read

Love this app there’s always something that catches my interest on it.

Kay

We Trans people need all the help from pink news THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE.
if we divide we will fall

Hmm

so for a while now there's been no point "refreshing" the app in filtered stories mode, you just get the oops message - so the quickest way to update the feed is to hard quit the app and launch it again
