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 🫨 ### 5/5 — Kay *2023-10-06, version 4.1.5* We Trans people need all the help from pink news THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE. if we divide we will fall ### 2/5 — Too many cookies *2023-07-15, version 4.1.2* Just noticed that the app now allows many many companies to track you when looking at the app. What a shame that capitalism trounces privacy and the LGBT cause. I have deleted the app now. ### 5/5 — Deserves 5 stars *2023-05-28, version 4.1.0* 5 stars correct review ### 5/5 — App issues *2023-04-30, version 4.0.10* Having some issues with the app. First when I open the app and switch between latest and for you it always says connection issues when my wifi and cellular connection is perfect. Also when I scroll sometimes it’s a little slow and once I reach the bottom sometimes articles disappear. Hope to see an update that can fix some of these issues. ### 3/5 — Preferred the previous format *2023-04-17, version 4.0.10* No links anymore to areas of interest such as religion ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2023-03-26, version 4.0.10* Online you have the option to react to articles but the app doesn’t have these options. Deffo needs adding to the app please!!! ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Finally, a good LGBTQIA+ News App! *2023-03-05, version 4.0.6* Finally, a good LGGTQIA+ News app! This is one of my favourite apps! ### 5/5 — GLBT News *2022-12-22, version 4.0.3* I LOVE PinkNews it is all the News you Could ever want ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Poor standard paper *2024-04-09, version 4.2.3* You rejected my comment but you are quick to take the money for me you are no longer a gay paper good bye ### 1/5 — Poor performance *2023-12-11* 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 😔 ### 1/5 — Hmm *2023-07-22, version 4.1.3* 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 ### 1/5 — Low quality *2023-03-07, version 4.0.6* No news from the Southern Hemisphere! ### 1/5 — Latest revision too the App is awful *2022-12-08, version 4.0.2* This latest release of the app is a massive backwards step. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Billy boy *2024-09-10, version 4.6.4* Yes ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-08-13, version 4.6.4* 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. ### 5/5 — It’s helpful *2024-04-24, version 4.3.1* Thank suou. We love this app. ### 5/5 — So interesting *2024-01-15, version 4.1.5* 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 ### 5/5 — Always something good to read *2023-12-01, version 4.1.5* Love this app there’s always something that catches my interest on it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
