User Reviews

Reviews are largely negative on reliability and usability, with a few positives about unbiased reporting and useful weather. Recurrent issues include crashes/launch failures after updates, intrusive ads and video-first news causing slow loads, notification problems (duplicate alerts and links sometimes failing to open the story), difficult navigation (especially on iPad), and unreliable live video (freezes and small controls). A small number of users praise neutral reporting and timely weather, but overall sentiment is unfavorable.

Pros

Perceived unbiased/neutral reporting by some reviewers
Real-time mobile headlines appear as stories unfold
Weather feature praised (excellent weather app)

Cons

Frequent crashes and launch failures after updates
Intrusive ads and heavy video-first design slow access to stories
Notification issues: duplicate alerts and links failing to open the story
Difficult navigation and poor UX, especially on iPad
Unreliable live video: freezes and small controls

When you scroll an article even though you not touching near the sponsors add, it routes you there. Completely unacceptable and why this app needs improvement. Don’t shove your sponsors adds in my face.

i tried to use this app for local news but couldn’t find a way to hide from crazy propaganda and narrative that leftists try to use to create delusional people
