User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise the app for its uplifting, positive news that can brighten mornings, but reliability and monetization issues undermine the experience. Frequent crashes, intrusive ads, access barriers to articles, and stale content are the most commonly cited pains, while the good-news concept remains appealing to many users.

Pros

Uplifting, heartwarming, positive news that boosts mood.
Morning-friendly, positive content that helps start the day on a good note.
A refreshing alternative to doom- and controversy-focused mainstream news.

Cons

Frequent crashes and overall app instability.
Intrusive ads that frequently cover content and include inappropriate material.
Content access is often blocked by subscriptions or paywalls, with no easy sign-in option.
Stale or infrequently updated content leading to repeated stories.

I downloaded this app to get away from death, depression, despair. To smile ear-to-ear, for feel-good vibes. So one of the stories literally shows the body of a dead lovebird, and the devastated partner next to it. I didn't even click the link, the thumbnail alone is more than enough. Please... stop including death, suffering, and heartbreak. Edit: An article about an ancient antipersonnel machine gun is hardly good news at all; you have failed. Uninstall.

I wanted to like the app because I like the website, but it's slow, ths ads are like 2010 scam ads (without mentioning the more disturbing ones) and the ads refresh every two seconds, causing flashing that may trigger migraines or even epilepsy if someone has it bad enough. The ads are distracting as well, making it impossible to focus. I also have found that sometimes articles are not so good as promised by the titles. I don't know how they're chosen, but it doesn't always seem thorough.

App seems to have a bug. It won't open. It just opens on the first logo page and, then, nothing. It just stays frozen on that page. I tried uninstalling it, restarting my phone, re-installing it, but nothing does it. I have been using the app weekly for years, now. Only this week has it seemed to block when I tried opening it as usual
