Simple Flying - Aviation News

Total AI slop and lazy writing. Repetitive posts. Pointless articles that offer nothing. Its a NONSTOP feed of ‘slow news day’ articles. I had higher hopes. Edit: I got banned for leaving a negative review.

Many of the articles are repetitive, poorly written and just plain factually incorrect. When you have read enough of this apps content, you cannot escape the suspicion that most of the content is not original and is either wholly or partially written by AI. Assuming that some of the content is not plagiarised, the writers could best be described as amateur travel writers rather than professional aviation journalists. It has a lot of potential but it’s a lazy poorly edited platform.

If I had 4 thumbs, I’d give this app 4 thumbs down. (1) I used to enjoy this app pretty much on a daily basis, but beginning in early December 2024 the app started forcing advertisement after advertisement at me to the point where the app is unusable. (2) The app used to just have occasional advertisements embedded in the articles, but now the screen is about 90% filled with multiple advertisements including ~50% taken up by embedded ads, ~20% with an ad docked toward the bottom, and ~20% random pop up videos while constantly opening some random webpage in Safari every few seconds without me clicking on anything. (3) Has the code for this app been compromised by hackers?? (4) I totally understand running an app has expenses and finding a way to monetize the app is 100% fair, but do it in a less obnoxious way!! (5) If things don’t change for the better in the next week or two, the app will definitely be deleted.
