User Reviews

User reviews are mixed: a couple praise the content quality and breadth (Cyprus news) while the majority report serious reliability and usability problems. Frequent crashes, loading errors, post-update bugs (including inability to exit), and an ad-heavy interface severely degrade the experience. Intrusive notifications are also a pain point. Content is acknowledged by some users, but stability and usability issues dominate feedback.

Pros

Content quality for Cyprus news is valued; one reviewer called Philenews one of the best sites for Cyprus news.
Some users report overall satisfaction with the app’s coverage across topics.
The app is recognized as a Cyprus news source by reviewers who rely on it for information.

Cons

Frequent crashes and loading errors (e.g., net::err_failed) that prevent reading and scrolling.
Update-induced bugs: after upgrades the app remains unstable, with crashes and features not functioning and even inability to exit.
Ad-heavy UI with pop-ups and banners that resize pages and disrupt reading.
Inability to exit or close the app, with persistent crashes on exit.
Push notifications cannot be disabled, leading to irritations for users.
