User Reviews

Most reviews condemn the app for intrusive ads, autoplay video/sound, and unreliable navigation (opening the wrong stories or after notifications). A noticeable portion cites perceived bias and a lack of independent journalism. A minority still values the weather content. Users call for fewer ads, disabled autoplay, better navigation, and improved stability and compatibility.

Pros

Weather information is valued by users.
Some users find the app's news content useful.

Cons

Excessive ads and fake AI articles; intrusive advertising experience.
Autoplay videos with sound and videos that play automatically when opening stories; can be disruptive and loud.
Perceived political bias and lack of independent journalism (left-leaning slant).
Navigation/UX issues: stories not opening to the intended article, tapping notifications opens other stories, and layout/scrolling problems.
Stability/compatibility issues: freezing/crashing and older OS support.

The news is too much for me

by Ha*****, 2026-06-09

I’ve had this app on my phone for a few years now I never noticed any real major issues. The only thing that sort of annoyed me were the endless paid ads, but I do understand that’s how the new station makes revenue. it’s interesting how people complain about how the app doesn’t work how it’s frozen and glitchy. They failed to mention how old their devices which matters ironically this app runs flawlessly with no glitches no frozen video all of the various categories in the app work and of course the ads are still there and will always be there. I don’t see what the complaint is. It’s not the app. It’s their device before you blame the app. Maybe you should look at your phone because it matters. Keep up the excellent work iPhone 17 Pro Max

What is the problem that can’t be fixed with the app FREEZING UP? SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER. THE AP FREEZES EVERY TIME. CAN NOT USE THE APP WITHOUT IT LOCKING UP. FIX IT!!! Your competition doesn’t have an app that doesn’t freeze up.
