User Reviews

NewsFlash is praised for its broad, multi-source coverage, a simple fast UI, and its role as a solid Breaking News replacement with good customization and support. Major downsides across reviews are the lack of push notifications, intrusive ads/paywalls, and issues with broken/dated content and feed glitches. It’s a strong multi-source reader with room to improve notifications, content reliability, and ad/monetization handling.
Pros
  • Wide multi-source coverage with easy selection of preferred sources and the ability to read from multiple sources
  • Simple, fast, clutter-free UI that loads headlines quickly and is easy to read and scroll
  • Strong replacement for NBC's Breaking News app; widely regarded as the go-to option after Breaking News shutdown
  • Customizable sections/sources and country filters, including the ability to favorite or block sources and navigate by topics
  • Responsive customer support
Cons
  • No push notifications; lacks headline alerts and customizable push options
  • Ads and monetization are intrusive, including pop-up ads and paid removal; some sources are paywalled
  • Broken/dated content and broken links (e.g., headlines linking to nonexistent articles or outdated feeds)
  • Stability and reliability concerns such as occasional glitches in feeds or video playback on some sources
Recent reviews
This app has gone downhill in recent years but it has reached a new low by mixing in articles from circa 2020. I’m done.

Cannot get the “Delete Cookies Every Session” to set. Used to in the past. Otherwise, pretty good.
