### 2/5 — MARGINAL

*2026-03-22*

Annoying,marginally functioning app!Jerky,gets stuck on a screen etc!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-15*

This app used to be excellent, but the recent changes have ruined the ease of access to and display if information. The app is no longer useful…the “feedback” tab in settings doesn’t even work

DEC2025 update:
Recent “updates” to this app have only made things worse, if that was possible.  Major difficulties loading stories is compounded by the constant ad pop-ups that bump news content…

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-09-19*

Went from a good app, to whatever this is now.

### 1/5 — Just deleted the app - poor readability

*2025-07-07*

Have used this app for a few years but the latest update made it very hard to easily read headlines to select the stories I wanted to read. The largest printed info is how long ago the news item was released - the headline is much smaller, and the photo of the story is too small to easily see what the story is about. Not sure if this is due to the size of font that I have set on my phone/the app but it worked far better before. I have deleted the app.

### 1/5 — New update is horrible

*2025-07-06*

Before the update you would not get repeats of the same article. Now the same article from 5 days ago is in 4 places on the main page

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-02-23*

Double loads. Gets lower and bogged down with time. Half the time you can’t share articles. It’s been like this for long time. I’m going delete it.

### 1/5 — So many issues

*2022-02-12*

I can’t believe so many people are having the same issue of pages double loading, not being able to go back to main page, app crashing and a few others but the app has not been fixed. Terrible app

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2022-02-11*

Articles double load or don't load at. Share button doesn't work

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work!

*2022-02-09*

This app used to work fine but for the last year or so it hasn’t worked. You can read one news article before it stops working and then you have to close the app completely and re-open it to read one more article, and then repeat the process over and over again. It’s easier to just delete this app and not use it at all

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-02-06*

This app sucks , full of bugs …try updating it once in a while ..gonna delete it permanently
