There is not enough of a writeup in the listing to glean what is in the article. One has to open almost every article to get an indication of what it is about. Go back to the previous format, and quickly. ### 3/5 — Hidden Ads *2025-03-04* I pay for no ads on this app, BUT they continue to show articles that when opened display a message that we must watch an ad to read the article (Daily Galaxy News, for one). The developers of this app are misleading those of us that pay for no ads. Either they refuse to show any article that requires an ad or they boldly display a message above the browser button, that this article requires a viewing of the ad. **Developer response:** We apologize for the recent issues you've experienced with ads and content. Our team is actively working to address these concerns and provide a better experience for you. ### 2/5 — Intrusive ads *2024-12-07, version 5.0.16* To see content you must view in browser where intrusive ads attack continually. ### 2/5 — Tooooo many ads *2024-11-18, version 5.0.8* Your app makes it extremely difficult to read and enjoy when constantly being interrupted by ads. I am about done with this app. ### 2/5 — The ads have gotten out of control *2024-09-07, version 4.0.7* Prior to a recent update, there were ads but they were fewer and could be dismissed much easier. Now, however, the new ads have made the app much less user-friendly. Disappointed. ### 4/5 — Space program *2024-08-31, version 4.0.7* I tremendously enjoy this educational and funny and informative program. Yash Madan ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2024-07-15, version 4.0.6* Useful information, great to have in one place, but any time I switch to a different app and come back it's playing an ad and it gets frustrating ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2023-04-28* While scrolling in app, the scrolling screen just stops for few milliseconds and then again run. That feels really awkward and just disturbs your brain. Pls make it smooth experience. ### 4/5 — Doesn’t miss very much *2023-02-21, version 4.0.2* with lots of pertinent information. Great up-to-date summaries. ### 5/5 — The best of current astronomical topics at your fingertips *2023-01-30, version 4.0.1* I rely heavily on this app to give me the latest in astronomical and astrophysical news from a multitude of different sources. It covers not only topics about the universe in general, its origins and future, but also about the elements within it, galaxies, supernovas, planets, pulsars, black holes and other phenomena. And, in its broad scope, it includes topics on space technology from a number of reputable publications. The only problem I have with it is that it unexpectedly freezes at times or kicks me out completely. Its last update was in October so the people in charge may need to do another soon. The app has just been updated. The only times a freeze or end of session seems to happen now are occasionally when I try to post an article to Tumblr. ### 5/5 — Fantastic articles! I get news here that I don’t see anywhere else. *2023-01-16, version 4.0.1* Great publication and information not available anywhere else! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No new news in 4 days... *2026-04-03, version 7.4.9* In addition to ads being displayed despite paying for no ads, it now appears the site is not getting updated with new stories.. Been 4 days...Looks like there may be other issues going on besides the ad scam. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2025-12-16, version 7.4.9* Update to the below review: The app is basically unusable. Ads are presented willy nilly, and it takes great effort and a bit of luck to get anywhere near the articles. Deleting the app and looking for a better replacement, which shouldn’t be difficult. Sad ending to what was once a good app. Original review: The new format is awful. There is not enough of a writeup in the listing to glean what is in the article. One has to open almost every article to get an indication of what it is about. Go back to the previous format, and quickly. ### 1/5 — Adverts adverts and adverts *2025-10-20, version 5.0.25* If you like adverts come on down… Avoid this outlet its using other peoples stories to farm advert hits and make everything we know and love about money. Saddos. ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads *2025-05-18, version 5.0.22* You can't even open or use the app due to constantpopups and ads. Not worth the trouble ### 1/5 — dcscfi *2025-05-11, version 5.0.22* Never had an app with so many adds! There’s so many that you can’t get any data, and the add types are the type that you can’t opt out of! ### 1/5 — Hidden Ads *2025-04-09* How Many times do I have to report this issue before u do something. YOUR SITE IS FALSE ADVERTISING. YOU ARE PROVIDING ARTICLES THAT REQUIRE VIEWING AN AD even when I pay for no ads on this app, BUT (Daily Galaxy News, for one). The developers of this app are misleading those of us that pay for no ads. FIX THIS PROBLEM. Either they refuse to show any article that requires an ad or they boldly display a message above the browser button, that this article requires a viewing of the ad. **Developer response:** We apologize for the recent issues you've experienced with ads and content.

Until today. As of Feb 19th, it updated and now has pop up ads. Wow, that’s an awful update. I used to read space news every night for years. Then tonight I saw the icon changed and when I opened it, first thing was a pop up ad. I’m so sad to have had to delete the app now. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2018-02-04, version 3.9.2* Uninstalled due to annoying and blocking ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ads display despite paying for no advertisement *2024-10-15* Update: I did hear back from the developer and I am glad to say that both issues have been resolved. I am thrilled because I read their news articles daily. I have used this app for years and really enjoyed it and then two weeks ago full page ads started popping up despite paying a monthly fee for no ads. I reached out to the app support. They responded they are working on. At the same time the app started providing “inspirational quotes” in lieu of news ( 9 on one day’s ”news feed”).. ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. **Developer response:** We apologize for the recent issues you've experienced with ads and content. Our team is actively working to address these concerns and provide a better experience for you. ### 5/5 — I recommend this for true Astronomy fans *2024-08-24, version 4.0.7* Absolutely my go to for all news related to space ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-07-30, version 4.0.7* Ready love it ### 5/5 — Space News app *2023-12-29, version 4.0.2* Right up my ally.
