### 3/5 — OK…

*2026-06-21, version 4.1*

Basically, just a paid subscription to NYTimes..

### 1/5 — Does not load news

*2025-02-05, version 4.1*

Does not load news. Just sits and says loading

### 2/5 — Doesn't work

*2024-11-20, version 4.1*

I used to love using this app. It allowed me to not jump from one news app to another, which I loved. I recently tried to use the app, but it won't load for whatever reason. If my app would load after deleting and then reinstalling, I would give the app five stars.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-03-09, version 4.1*

Reliable and helpful!

### 1/5 — I am not a Democrat

*2023-12-10, version 4.1*

Sup y’all. Name’s Grant. I ain’t no Democrat. I rule these parts. Better watch out. Don’t want no donkeys getting crushed by ma elephants ya hear me? Republicans been better these days. Darn Democrats. Never’ll understand. My boy Rey here hears me. He gets it. Ain’t y’all getting it too. Watch out Democrats, watch out. Da elephants comin’ to town.

### 5/5 — Excellent!!

*2023-07-10, version 4.1*

Great coverage and format😀. Well done!

### 3/5 — Interesting

*2023-06-04, version 4.1*

I downloaded this to find a place to read News that wasn’t so tainted by Right wing media bias. I didn’t realize I would have to subscribe to separate companies to read the articles. I don’t think this is practical or feasible for most people including myself. I think this concept is excellent. However, now they need to bring all these more “liberal” News sources together under one umbrella and charge one flat monthly fee. It should be under $10 per month. By charging separately for each different company you’re nickel & dining people to death. 

Democrats keep saying they want to engage more young and minority voters. MAKE the online liberal News FREE to Millennials & Generation Z voters! I’m not that age, but I would have no issue with this.

### 5/5 — Excellent
