User Reviews

Reviews consistently cite ad overload and intrusive pop-ups that cover content, making the app hard to use. Many users report crashes, freezes, and blank screens, plus onboarding bugs that hinder start-up. Readability is poor due to oversized fonts and non-responsive layouts, especially on iPad. Live TV access is fraught with forced logins and ad interruptions. A minority raise privacy concerns about tracking. Overall, the app is viewed as unreliable, intrusive, and difficult to use.

Pros

No common positives identified across multiple reviews.

Cons

Ad overload and intrusive pop-ups that cover content and slow loading.
App instability: frequent crashes or freezes on launch and blank screens.
Readability and layout issues: oversized fonts, lines that run together, and non-responsive design on iPad/phone.
Live TV viewing issues: forced login to watch live content and ad interruptions before or during live feeds.
Privacy concerns: invasive tracking policies and privacy issues, including reports after using VPN.

Recent reviews

App is hard to open because of the ad at opening that must be swiped up to get in the app. Once in there their news is barely worth reading with very sketchy information at best. Basically a pathetic exercise.
