Left Wingers
You are way too far to the left for me glad I dropped you.
Data Tracking NIGHTMARE!!!
So what does it cost to read a story on Yahoo? All of your privacy. This app tracks EVERYTHING!!! If you don’t allow it to, you can’t use it. The app literally says if you don’t allow it to you must use the website because the app can’t be used if you don’t let it “personalize” your experience. At some point people we need to stand up and say no to the enormous amount of tracking going on around us!!! I have deleted this piece of privacy garbage. Only gave it 5 stars so it doesn’t get buried in the comments.

Deeply Disappointed
At some point, my app use preferences reset from, “don’t track me, don’t sell my info, generic ads only” to “Yes, Monetize everything you can, target me with ads based on my news reading history and location.”
I tried to return to “generic ads, no tracking, no sale of my personal info” and a pop up tells me I can no longer use the App!
WTF! Goodbye Yahoo!

Need an update?
The app is very useful. For the desktop version, a country of origin for the folks that decided to comment on stories should be added next to their names. I’ve seen way too many using AI to translate just to rile people for responses.

Where’d the mini games go?
Recently had downloaded the app and was enjoying it, especially the solitaire roadtrip and the daily mini crossword. Woke up one morning and poof they were gone. Then I deleted the app. As a news app it is okay, the games kept me coming back.
Advertising
As bad as Google
Format
They totally screwed up the site with this format. Need to return to the classic format. Looking for another option that isn’t messed up like this
Ads aplenty
If you like non stop ads and occasional full page ads with lots of trackers this app is for you
Yahoo moderator
Too restrictive
Yahoo News App Is Awful
It crashes all the time. Takes up too much space and is beyond frustrating.
Blocked from commenting
I ask simple yet pointed questions about liberal policies. I challenge the logic. And point out the hypocrisy. Apparently Yahoo does not like this, and I am unable to respond to the liberal echo chamber that has become all too obvious in the comment section. And the liberal slant of news perspectives by Yahoo is never objective.

I love it
Targeted Ageist Adds
I liked this news app. A lot. I eventually removed it from my phone due to all those weird dementia, memory loss, viagra, hearing aids, c pap, etc adds that were accompanied by most disgusting, grossest imaginable images. And when I turned off data sharing in settings, I received a message stating that I must keep data sharing on if I want to continue using the app. I opted to simply delete the app.

Cesspool of Hate
Yahoo News has turned its comment sections into open sewers. There’s no moderation, no civility, just mobs hurling insults like drunken hecklers. Either Yahoo is too incompetent to control it or too indifferent to care. In either case, it’s pathetic.
Work as intended

Liberal news
I read FoxNews for a conservative slant and Yahoo News for a liberal slant.
Impossible to read articles
Lately has become nearly impossible to read some articles on iPhone due to constantly changing advertisements, which suddenly update the display and either throw you back to the beginning of the article or display “Something went wrong. Try again.” Yahoo News used to be my favorite news source - a great news aggregator - but I may need to find something else.

Changes
I do not like the radical changes in Yahoo news. It is far from the user friendly site before all the changes. You blew it!! I hate the fact that when you click on an article of interest, you get another whole list of options to scroll through. I just return to the main news page. Also , after reading an article for a short time my iPad screen goes blank.
The whole rating thing is stupid.
