### 5/5 — Real News

*2025-08-10, version 3.0*

Common Sense and Not Spun on High Dry

### 4/5 — No dates clearly posted

*2025-04-05, version 3.0*

This app is well organized. The top criticism I have, which is a pretty major criticism, is there are no clear dates posted on most of the content. This is extremely annoying because you don’t know if what you are watching was posted 2 days ago or 3 years ago. Why would you create an app this beautifully organized then destroy it by removing basic information people need to make the app functional?

### 5/5 — AUDIO PROBLEM

*2025-02-15, version 3.0*

FIX THE 4 second audio problem. It drives me NUTS.

### 5/5 — Great content

*2024-12-11, version 3.0*

Watch many types of media, this is the best.
