- #291,520 — Overall

## Review summary

Overall, reviews are largely negative. The biggest concerns are intrusive ads and commercial interruptions, and a perception that the app is not truly unbiased but politically skewed. Users report a buggy, slow UI with navigation problems and audio that keeps playing after exiting. Many feel the content is more opinionated talk than straightforward news, and some note a paywall or subscription requirement to access materials. A minority do call the content unbiased and refreshing, but this is not the prevailing view.

### Pros

- Most unbiased news I have heard.
- Refreshing.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and frequent commercial interruptions; ads sometimes won't stop playing.
- Perceived bias / not unbiased: reviewers accuse the app of right-leaning or partisan content and deception about its impartiality.
- Poor usability and performance: slow, glitchy, hard to navigate, with issues like not being able to exit weather/traffic screens and audio continuing to play after stopping.
- Content often reads as opinionated talk rather than straight news, with hosts and political rhetoric.
- Paywall / subscription requirement to access local news or full content (e.g., 15/month or 150/year).
