Multiple moving gif and video ads advertising different products on the same screen make it impossible to read news articles. The app is trash. ### 2/5 — Where’d the mini games go? *2026-07-21, version 45.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Yahoo News App Is Awful *2026-06-07, version 45.0* It crashes all the time. Takes up too much space and is beyond frustrating. ### 3/5 — Blocked from commenting *2026-06-02, version 45.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Yahoo news *2026-05-29, version 45.0* I love it ### 1/5 — Targeted Ageist Adds *2026-05-26, version 44.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Unable to use in China *2026-05-10, version 43.1* Unable to use in China ### 2/5 — Cesspool of Hate *2026-05-08, version 43.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Liberal news *2026-05-05, version 43.0* I read FoxNews for a conservative slant and Yahoo News for a liberal slant. ### 1/5 — Impossible to read articles *2026-04-27, version 42.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Changes *2026-04-17, version 42.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Not working right *2026-03-25, version 41.2* In the middle of reading an article and the article goes back to the beginning or it goes black. I click on the back arrow and it doesn’t return to the previous page. I have to click the back arrow multiple times before just to get out of the article. ### 1/5 — The ensh tification of Yahoo! News continues *2026-03-21, version 41.2* Ten years ago the app was great. It curated news intelligently, and its comments section operated intuitively with simple up and down votes, and ability to rank comments in order of best, oldest or newest. Today the interface is unusable, curation of news is hyper looped to user feedback, and the updated comments section is completely wrecked. The new additions of hearts and hahas only serve to mimic Facebook’s largely useless feedback interface, which is a downgrade. Worse, they got rid of ranking comments in order of best to worst. You even have to force capitalization of the first word in a sentence! FFS, man, every text interface in the Apple world has default capitalization. Double you tee eff is wrong with you?? App developers seem hell-bent on breaking repeatedly what never needed fixing in the first place. I am totally amazed someone actually got paid to program this hunk of junk. 0/10, do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Don’t like the update *2026-03-18, version 41.2* Comments now don’t seem same as on a webpage so if I get a reply now I can’t view it in the app - so had to delete the app. Didn’t seem worth it. ### 2/5 — Deeply Flawed *2026-03-17, version 41.2* Many updates are not enhancements, they’re unusable. It’s as though they don’t beta-test anything before releasing it. It’s unprofessional to have users beta-test for your IT team. Yahoo News has turned its comment sections into open sewers. There’s no moderation, 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. ### 1/5 — Yahoo News sucks *2026-03-13, version 41.2* Annoying intrusive ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — transphobic clickbait *2026-09-02, version 45.0* way too many ads. transphobic editorial / curation policy. way too much cis hate speech permitted. ### 1/5 — Not real news *2026-08-21, version 45.0* I’ve noticed lately that there are stories that come directly from YouTube or TikTok without any realization that the story is a skit made up from a content creator. It’s entertaining, but not real. Most political stories are extremely one sided. Even some tragic nonpolitical stories miss critical information. The app works well, but the contents are not “news.” ### 1/5 — Long Time User *2026-08-18, version 45.0* Not sure if I can give it zero stars. I started using Yahoo News when it was Artifact, which I loved. Now it gets worse every day. As of today,any time you scroll down an article, it goes right back to the top. Net to contact support? Well you can leave feedback, but don’t expect anyone to get back to you. I would like this to get better and return to its beginnings. ### 1/5 — Ads disguised as comments *2026-08-16, version 45.0* Comments are removed all the time. Yet, somehow you cannot identify scam job advertising in the comments! Why?! I’m sick of seeing JOB 40.com! Get your act together ### 1/5 — Left Wingers *2026-07-28, version 45.0* You are way too far to the left for me glad I dropped you. ### 1/5 — Deeply Disappointed *2026-07-26, version 45.0* 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! ### 1/5 — Advertising *2026-07-11, version 45.0* As bad as Google ### 1/5 — Format *2026-07-11, version 45.0* 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 ### 1/5 — Ads aplenty *2026-06-25, version 45.0* If you like non stop ads and occasional full page ads with lots of trackers this app is for you ### 1/5 — Yahoo moderator *2026-06-25, version 45.0* Too restrictive ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Daily news *2026-07-30, version 45.0* Top stories of the day for quick review. ### 5/5 — Data Tracking NIGHTMARE!!! *2026-07-28, version 45.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Need an update? *2026-07-21, version 45.0* 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. ======================= July/2026 Opens to a blank dark screen. ### 5/5 — Work as intended *2026-05-07, version 43.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-22, version 39.0* Concise accurate and informative. ### 5/5 — Outstanding news *2026-01-14, version 36.0* Excellent Reliable ### 5/5 — Switched from google discovery no X *2025-12-12, version 34.0* I used to get my news from google discovery, but the recent update turned over half of the posts into X posts that could not be blocked. Yahoo news is really great so far! ### 5/5 — Yahoo News is YAHOOOOOOO! *2025-11-22, version 33.0* I was quite disappointed in the other online news sources. When I stumbled onto Yahoo I found a source for the news I wanted to read and not the maddening maelstrom that is just distractions and “eye-noise” scrolling around pretend sources ### 5/5 — honestly the Truth *2025-10-31, version 31.0* Everything about The news world wide ### 5/5 — Trump *2025-10-27, version 31.0* Less trump --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
