User reviews

The app

Now all out for subscription! Used to be the best but not now xx

What bright spark has changed the comments to a light grey box and white text?

Very difficult to read

Used to be good

This used to be a good app for scrolling through for random articles, some completely irrelevant but the odd one that wasn’t to useless. But now all they want is for you to pay for the decent articles and you can only view 15 free articles a week. Deleted and I’ll be better off for it!!

Needs a design refresh

Fresh install, Home Screen shows only Want More header, My News is empty. Only after logging in and selecting topics do I get to see articles. This is bad and most users will just uninstall at that point.

Home Screen still empty except for the 3 live events accessible via the top right button.

UI needs a big refresh, this look feels dated. Fonts feel basic. Spacing are inconsistent and kinda bad. App needs a redesign and a simple design system.

No obvious fancy AI features, overviews, screen readers. No easy reading mode. Bleh.

Let’s give the old 🌮 app some love huh!

Charging to use the app

This app is now a joke taking the piss trying to make people pay for the use of the app no reason other than making money when you used to be able to read all of the news for nothing, so that is why I’ve deleted the app
