Unfortunately it force closes constantly. Please update your app. ### 2/5 — Horrible ads *2016-10-11, version 2.0* Horrible. Can't read anything because there are too many ads. Potentially a great app the read is awesome but it takes too long due to restarting from exiting apps😫 ### 2/5 — Highly Informative *2016-08-11, version 1.0* A not so great app as far as functioning. However the content is great for the mind and soul. You will discover tons of information that is not readily available regarding black people and cultural events, history and up to the minute subjects. Beware there are technical hiccups to endure. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2016-04-14, version 1.0* I can't access any articles because the ads for apps just keep popping up it is very aggravating ### 3/5 — Review *2016-10-12, version 2.0* I like urban intellectuals but the ads popping up obstruct viewing actual website. Ads need to cease and desist. ### 3/5 — Revie app *2016-09-08, version 1.0* It's great information but some of the links do not work. ### 3/5 — Great app *2016-07-19, version 1.0* I love the info, but the pop ups must go, very annoying! ### 3/5 — Love this app *2016-01-07, version 1.0* It really is news I can use ### 4/5 — Great app needing more contributors *2022-09-02, version 5.0* I’ve held on to this app for awhile. It’s gotten so much better over the years but I’ve noticed content can go stagnant. How can we help to find more contributors or get more content produced? ### 4/5 — Good content. Needs some polishing. *2020-02-22, version 5.0* I love what they are about and are doing! Education, healthy debate within the community, and inspiring our future by learning from our true past. The 4 instead of 5 is simply because of the app functionality is still a bit clunky... but that comes with time to develop! KEEP IT UP!! And thank you for what you’re doing ❤️✊🏽 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Volume 5 *2020-07-14, version 5.0* I paid for 4 volume 5.Where are they?????? ### 5/5 — Urban Intellectuals *2017-07-28, version 4.0* Great App....Thank You ### 5/5 — Great news sorce *2016-10-04, version 2.0* I can get basic day to day news, and the coverage of positive things happening in communities nationwide.
