User Reviews

Reviews praise the app for extensive, worldwide science coverage and the ability to customize topics, helping users stay up to date. However, intrusive advertising dominates the experience: frequent full-screen ads, pre- and post-article interruptions, and gates that block reading. UI changes are widely disliked, with a new layout that truncates or flashes headlines and hinders navigation. Some users also report longer loading times and ads interfering with access to content. Despite these issues, a minority still values the quality of science content and hopes fixes improve the experience.
Pros
  • Extensive, worldwide science coverage with a large volume of articles.
  • Ability to customize topic preferences to tailor the news you see.
  • Keeps you up to date on the latest science news.
  • Overall excellent quality and breadth of science content.
Cons
  • Intrusive, frequent ads including full-screen and pre/post-article interruptions.
  • Ads block or gate access to content, causing slow reading and requiring waits or extra taps.
  • New design/UI changes degrade usability (truncated headlines, flashing content).
  • Longer loading times and ad-heavy experience.

The new layout is awful. The app was fantastic, 5 stars. Now it’s not even worth using. Please bring the old layout back!

Nice eclectic mix of subjects. Ads are intrusive and will not allow you to return to the article. Had to delete the app. Very annoying.
