Amazing!

Unbiased news! Love this app!

Good app but…

Good app but, it would be more convenient to be able to change languages…even though it’s a great app for information

If you like a completely AI run app, then download it, otherwise don’t.

This app seems to be entirely ran by artificial intelligence. If you click on certain countries like India or China, their flags are wrong, and look to be generated by AI. It wouldn’t be that hard to go in and put the proper flag of each country in its proper place. Some countries that are major players in the world don’t even have flags. France, Norway, just to name a few. This isn’t app breaking, just frustrating. It seems like no human effort was poured into this app whatsoever.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for flagging this, and I'm sorry it landed poorly - you were completely right. A handful of country flags (China, India, and a few others) were rendering incorrectly on or not at all on some devices, due to a rendering bug on our end, not a content issue. We've now fixed it: every flag in the app has been rebuilt to display correctly, and the update is on its way. I really appreciate you taking the time to point it out - it genuinely helped us catch and fix it. If you spot anything else: support@rootnews.app / Many thanks.

Better than anything i tried

Usually i would just hear news on the tv, and then the part i wanna hear gets unheard….So then i always go and research it, but that takes too much of my time. Thats when i found this gosh dang amazing app ever. Its so organized which i love, but i do wish there was canadian politics, but im hoping thats coming soon

I have had this app for a month now and it is so good there is no adds at all and it is so worth having it if you are always looking on websites or other apps with a bunch of adds. Thank you sooo much for not having adds on your app🤩🔥👍
