User reviews

Still broken pretty broken.

Send feedback feature doesn’t work so I’ll paste this here:

1. Can’t change my profile picture at all even after the latest update.

2. India is still in the list of topics even though India and Pakistan aren’t fighting anymore.

3. You still mess with people’s keyboards. When I type in the app, everything is forced lowercase. The app also doesn’t respect my auto correct or auto punctuation settings.

4. The app heats up my iPhone after prolonged use. I’m on a 17 Pro Max on iOS 26.4 beta 2. However, this has occurred even when i wasn’t on any beta.

Please look into these issues ASAP. Thanks.

Still broken.

Can’t change my profile picture at all even after the latest update. Also why is India still in the list of topics? India and Pakistan aren’t fighting anymore.

Used to be great now just verrrrrry buggy

This app used to be my go to for quick bite sized news. Lately though, not so much. It’s constantly crashing, will stop scrolling, and for some reason will go on and on and on about the same topic just different article like Trump/Epstein (big losers) or anything happening in India. I’m not sure why it favors soooooo much content from India lately. So this app has fallen in the gutter and needs to be rescued.

Response from developer

Hi! We’re really sorry to hear this. That’s not the experience we want you to have. The crashing and scrolling issues are especially concerning, and we’d love to look into this right away. Please email us at connect@volvmedia.com with your device details or if possible, a screen-recording so we can look into it and get this fixed. We’ve also recently updated our feed algorithm to improve content balance. Please let us know if you’re seeing improvements. Thanks again for the honest feedback – we truly appreciate it.

Extremely Biased

App looks and feels great, but it shows news on certain topics with extreme bias and pushes a certain narrative about them instead of impartial facts.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We’re glad you like the look and feel of the app. However, we don’t aim to push any narrative. Our stories are curated by a human editorial team from a wide range of sources, and we’re constantly working to improve balance and context. We appreciate you flagging this and will keep refining the experience. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to get in touch with us at connect@volvmedia.com.

Very Biased News

I wrote a message asking if there was a way to turn off comments on news stories after I noticed almost all comments were from a single user who was clearly a right-winger. It made me realize that almost all headlines and stories on this app were also right leaning. Very little unbiased news. After sending in my message it asking to turn off comments it appears I’ve been blocked from using the app because the feed just times out and doesn’t load. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Seems like this is just a snowflake propaganda machine.

Response from developer

Hey! We're sorry to hear this. We’re actively considering a report option for comments to address misuse. We'll also forward your request to turn off the comments to the team. To clarify, we do not block users from accessing the app – there’s no such system in place. The feed loading issue you experienced was a technical one, and we’ve made improvements since. Please update the app and let us know if it’s resolved. We value diverse viewpoints and appreciate the feedback. If you have any suggestions, please reach out to us on connect@volvmedia.com.
