### 4/5 — ザッピングに最適ですが、

*2023-06-09*

ブックマーク機能があれば★5つでした。それが無理なら記事の元ページに飛べるURLがほしかったです。気になったニュースがどんどん流れていって、後からアクセスしにくくなるので。

### 1/5 — 読むだけ

*2023-03-13*

その後シェアも何もできない。EverNoteぐらい対応してほしい。

### 4/5 — 素晴らしいが、、、

*2022-01-14*

記事を読むのは申し分ないです。
できれば、読む記事をシンプルじゃなくてオリジナルで読みたいのでいちいち変更するのが面倒くさいので自動でオリジナル記事を読めるようになるとさらに素晴らしい

### 5/5 — お願い🙏

*2021-12-11*

前回アプリを閲覧した時以降に更新されたニュースだけを出してくれるページを作ってくれないでしょうか？お願いします。

**Developer response:** コメントありがとうございます。読み上げモードを解除するには、記事詳細画面の右上の歯車ボタンをタップして、「テキスト読み上げ」をOFFに設定して下さい。これで、音楽が止まらなくなるはずです。

### 1/5 — 落ちる

*2021-03-07*

起動するとすぐ落ちてしまいます iOS14.4です

### 4/5 — なかなか良いです。

*2021-01-20*

新製品の発売技術情報が豊富で

### 4/5 — 読み上げてくれるので良い

*2019-07-23*

家事の時間など、手は離せないけど無駄な時に、ちょっとした知識が身につく、良いアプリです。
音声の速さを1.5〜2倍に変えられるとありがたいです。
