Nice app! ### 5/5 — No Fox News, 5 Stars *2016-05-31, version 1.1.5* Very nice app for summarizing news. Well done. ### 4/5 — Very useful *2016-05-31, version 1.1.5* This is a great little news app with my fave news channels. ### 5/5 — Very good stuff *2016-05-29, version 1.1.5* I have to say I am impressed with what you have done here. There's a similar function from a bot on the news aggregate site, Reddit, that does this. I'm so glad to have found a dedicated app to that function. You have a bright future ahead of you if you keep up this kind of quality. App's design is stellar and smooth. Great look and feel. 5/5 starts ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-05-28, version 1.1.5* My go to news app ### 4/5 — Good start, needs tweaking *2016-05-28, version 1.1.4* Interesting approach. Tags allow you to search categories. Individual news sources are sorted by time however there is no way to sort responses by time in the joint feed. The app does not appear to sync between the iPhone and the iPad. This app needs to have some user defined options. Good start, room for improvement. ### 5/5 — This is amazing! 👍 *2016-05-24, version 1.0.1* This is the best app of it's kind. It's very good at summarising the news perfectly so all news is straight to the point and bite sized. It's amazing it's all done locally. Amazing job! ### 5/5 — Cool *2016-05-24, version 1.0.1* Although the 3D Touch inside the app is not very responsible. The delay is a bit long. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open *2020-04-06, version 1.4.0* The app can’t even open on my phone. Never experienced anything like this. Why is this allowed to be downloaded? Smh ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2019-10-15, version 1.4.0* It crashes to desktop after choosing the sources, and it’s been like that for at least 2 years and they haven’t had any updates for 3 years. Basically it’s an abandoned app. ### 1/5 — Does it work? *2017-03-01, version 1.4.0* Continuous crashing after selecting sources. I start the app, it crashes; I re-start the app, it crashes. Guess what happens afterward? It crashes. ### 1/5 — The app on the iPad is horrible *2016-07-07, version 1.3.0* The app's experience on iPad is so inconsiderate. Something is just not at the right place, there might be a problem of auto layout. And there are weird animations and buttons. Finally the summarization sometimes doesn't make sense. Please fix these. ### 1/5 — No Fox News, no stars *2016-05-28, version 1.1.5* Why gave you not included Fox News? ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 13. Just keeps crashing when opened; can’t use it *2019-10-07, version 1.4.0* The app just crashes immediately when opened. ### 3/5 — Keep crashing on 4S *2016-07-12, version 1.3.0* This is an awesome app. However it keeps crashing (go to the home screen). I don't know if it only affects iPhone 4S. Please fix it to us (iPhone 4S users). ### 3/5 — Good theory but it keeps crashing :( *2016-07-04, version 1.3.0* I really wish I could use this app because it sounds exactly like something I would love. However, it keeps crashing as soon as I open it. :( ### 4/5 — Awesome, minor complaint *2016-06-19, version 1.3.0* I love this app. It's awesome and visually stunning; except for the navigation bar. I think the icons should be refined a bit to look more elegant, and not so... clunky. Something like Instagram's or Twitter's. ### 4/5 — Interesting *2016-06-02, version 1.1.5* It's Avery nice app.i have interested to read news. Nice app very useful one ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful *2016-10-06, version 1.4.0* Useful app to stay updated with all the news at your finger tip ### 5/5 — Clean and simple to use app! *2016-09-04, version 1.4.0* Clean interface and has my content sources of choice. Will be using now for news ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2016-09-02, version 1.4.0* Designed very nicely, and extremely practical too. The summarization algorithm could still use a little more tweaking but overall it works well enough to be useful. Worth the download for sure! ### 5/5 — Amazing!ö *2016-08-17, version 1.4.0* An Amazon app at summarizing news!Thanks so much! -SA ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2016-08-08, version 1.4.0* Summit has become my go-to news app. I love that summit will summarize the story so I can decide if I want to read the entire article or just move on. The full article opens in app. ### 5/5 — Great news app! *2016-07-23, version 1.4.0* Nice design and easy to use. I like that it is tagged with a category like technology and business. Nicely organized. ### 5/5 — Sleek, clean, efficient. *2016-06-19, version 1.3.0* While the summaries still need some refinement in order to read more naturally, this app is overall just what I've wanted from a news app for a long time. Love having easy access to headlines from around the world with no baloney. Major points for night mode too! ### 5/5 — Easy to look at and easy to use *2016-06-14, version 1.3.0* It's simple and uncluttered. You don't have to make an account/profile, but you can still save articles for later and whatnot. I really like that you don't have to have to add a source to your feed in order to read articles from them. ### 5/5 — Awesome App!👍🏽 *2016-06-13, version 1.3.0* This is a great app for a busy mom like me.It keeps all my articles of interest in one place. Fabulous, and keep up the great work!😀 ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2016-06-03, version 1.1.5* Great design and idea ! 👏🏻✌🏻️😄 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
