User reviews

Push notification glitch

Something’s wrong with the latest app update. When we received news via push notification and we clicked on it, the app would not direct us to the clicked news. Instead, we are just directed to the home page of the app. I have reinstalled this app and the issue still persisted.

Paid subscription with unconsented ad

The amount of ads are appalling ! I paid subscription to read news, and not ads that I cannot skip and some ads go on for almost a minute.

Caution!

This app allows advertisers to post fake warnings about fake viruses that are “definitely on your device“ and then require you to download the fake virus protection app before you can move on. I am surprised that Apple allows this app in the store. if you use this app, be sure to quit when you get that warning rather than hit the download button

Is this a joke app?

This app plays more ads than those annoying free games.

How can you take any of the news posted here to be serious?

Ridiculous. Just delete this nonsense app.

Ads take too long

Unable to exit ads. Stupid apps. I used to read this everyday but not anymore.
