I am not really a news reader, so I didn't think that the Monitor App would impact me that much. But now with the app, I find myself reading the Monitor multiple times a day! Truly - morning, noon and night. Something about the user experience on the app makes it so approachable and easy to read. The app has a very calming feeling that isn't overwhelming.

Such quality journalism! ### 5/5 — News App I Can Trust *2026-02-12* I’ve only been reading with this app for a little while, but I think it’s great. I want to stay informed but every other news site seems hyper-focused on sensation. The Monitor gets that sensation isn’t what we need or want. One step toward us all feeling more connected is good journalism. I think the Monitor, and their new app is helping to bring that to us. I also enjoy the podcast area of the app. It’s become part of my morning routine. ### 5/5 — A fabulous app with fabulous news *2026-02-12* This app is the perfect balance of usability and a calm news experience.

It’s the most balanced and informative news source around and I’m delighted to now have a handy app on my phone for listening or reading wherever I am. Powerful stories that don’t pull any punches, but without the sensationalism that so many media are promoting. The Monitor reporters always leave me with a sense of hope that truth will be the victor! ### 5/5 — Refreshing! *2026-04-05* Clean format, clean content. This is a big upgrade from getting news from social media platforms, no overwhelm of doom. Easy access to podcasts and more. A great way to get the latest news. ### 5/5 — Well organized news interface *2026-03-14* This app is easy to navigate. Nice clean format, a big upgrade from getting news from social media platforms. This makes access to related podcasts more accessible too. ### 5/5 — Best news source *2026-03-13* Super glad to see this app launch. The Monitor strives for truth in all ways. It’s my go-to when I need clarity and help to understand challenging topics in the world. ### 5/5 — Great news app! *2026-03-11* This app is a great news source. It’s easy to navigate, and has up-to-date news coverage that includes US and international news. The reporting strives to be unbiased, offering a variety of perspectives on news topics. The only issue I have is that there’s no “back” button; to exit an article, you have to press “home,” which takes you back to the list of articles, at the article you exited from — so at least you’re where you left the list, but it’s a bit counterintuitive. ### 5/5 — Great News Source *2026-03-06* My only problem with the app is I wish it wouldn’t log you out. It’s not like anyone else uses my phone. I’m sure they’ll fix this soon though. ### 5/5 — Best news app ever *2026-03-06* This app has exactly what I look for. It’s full of features, and I like the fact that it is searchable by regions and you can follow writers. The coverage is unbiased in depth and thoughtful. One of the best features is the text is large and very easily readable. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-04* Works well and still one of the best newspapers around ### 5/5 — Great progress *2026-02-26* Grateful for the new CSMonitor app. It’s easy to use, puts the top stories I’m interested in right at my fingertips and helps fulfill its mission to stay abreast of the times.
