Great app for students!
Spotlight News is the absolute best app for staying up to date on the news, especially as a Gen Z reader. They really understand what my generation wants!
How do you set up account or log in?
After logging in with Apple ID on the website I was able to get in, but app is non-functional. If accessing through browser, I can tap “Access through the Spotlight app” but that just results in “Spotlight News” with a spinning logo on a green background, interspersed with a pop-up “Login Failed -1001” box. Now I have a headache…

Great News Site
This site is perfect for keeping up with all the news. I am interested in. It really does a great job and just finding the things I’m interested in.
Hi! New bug *updated*
*only rating this one star so developer will notice* I just updated the app and now when I open the app it is the start page when you first download the app. When I try to press next it immediately crashes. Thanks for making a cool app! I hope this bug is fixed soon so I can continue using it.
Update:
App is working now. Thank you!!

Spotlight News
I’ve had the Spotlight news app for a week and I find I’ve been reading more articles everyday. I check it in the morning and at night. Thank you for making a great app!
#1 for reading about your favorite University or College++
All your favorite content in one place. Looking for your local, regional, national or world news. Want to read your favorite magazine or the latest financial. But what I most enjoyed was that I could follow all of my kids school news from one place, in real time!
Sleek news app
Simple and sleek app that offers many local and college papers conveniently. Their “Interests” feature is really nice and allows me to focus on articles that I prefer to see. Their content catalog always seems to be expanding too.
Almost useless
No matter which publishers I follow or not, I see almost everything in my feed. I only want to see the Daily Collegian (Penn State student newspaper) yet I see stuff about Auburn, the Mets, etc. If not fixed in the next release I’m deleting this app and using the Collegian web site instead.
Response from developer
The behavior you describe is unexpected, if you could message us, team@spotlightlabs.net, we would like to figure out why Spotlight is not working properly for you.
Collegian destroyed
Sadly, one could decide what one wanted to read in the previous app. Maybe real news but what someone else has decided I should read.
Response from developer
If you follow The Daily Collegian, you should see every article that is published by them. If this is not the case, please message us, team@spotlightlabs.net, we would like to know what articles are missing.
Needs horizontal in addition to vertical display.
A basic functionality!
Response from developer
Version 1.1 now supports landscape, on the iPhone and iPad. Please let us know if you have any other suggestions!
Amazing Idea And Execution
As a college student myself I can definitely say it’s easy to get lost in all the different kinds of information sent around and it’s nice to know Spotlight exists to make it easy to stay in the know.
Love it!
I love this app! Super sleek and easy to navigate. I love how easy it is to get factual reporting about events at my university.
REAL NEWS
It’s nice to be able to read something and know it’s not fake. This app has done that for me and it’s so refreshing to be able read articles and not asking myself if it’s fake or not.
No more misinformation!
It’s nice to know this news is real and verified and providing a platform for underrepresented journalists.
