User Reviews

Users love Funnel as a convenient, one-stop source for quick world news and on-the-go listening. They praise its focused minimal design and the auto-play option, with some noting a lack of ads. However, multiple reviews highlight reliability and feature gaps: BBC and other networks routinely stop working after updates; limited channel availability and no easy way to add custom feeds; stability issues such as crashes and poor background playback, especially on newer iOS versions; paid features sometimes malfunction; and requests for better iPad support, more sources, and fewer ad interruptions on paid plans.

Pros

Daily use and convenience: users report loving Funnel and use it every day.
One-stop access to a diverse set of global news sources in a single app.
Good for on-the-go listening such as at the gym or during workouts.
Focused minimal design with an auto play feature that many find valuable; some reviews note a lack of ads.
Offers different perspectives and varied coverage compared with mainstream outlets.

Cons

BBC and other networks routinely stop working after updates, especially around iOS 17.
Limited networks with no easy option to add custom feeds or own feeds.
Stability and playback issues such as crashes and poor background playback, particularly on newer iOS versions.
Paid features malfunctioning and ads appearing in paid versions.
Lack of iPad support and landscape orientation, plus several UI concerns.

Recent reviews

I use this app everyday, I love it. But it obviously needs to an update, several of the news channels aren’t available or working.

This app seemed ok but I am deleting after their recent update. There are so many legitimate news networks to integrate with and Funnel only integrates with a few. That’s fine but their recent update added a new network — Salem Radio Network. This is not ok. SRN is a “conservative Christian” network that spouts and promotes hateful public policies against marginalized groups including LGBTQ+ individuals. Of all the networks the developer could have integrated with, this is what they chose and that is telling in itself. I will be deleting this app and finding another that’s not invested in amplifying hateful rhetoric.
