User Reviews

Users praise RaiNews for its wide, timely coverage and generally good content (especially regional news) and find alerts useful. Major recurring problems: recent updates causing crashes, overwhelming unfilterable notifications, frequent video/audio playback or live‑streaming issues (and region lock), and poor UX — slow navigation, misplaced alert behavior, intrusive videos and lack of settings.

Pros

Broad, timely news coverage with a generous supply of stories (including regional content).
Content quality is appreciated by multiple users—many call it a good or excellent news app.
Breaking‑news alerts/notifications are useful to some users.
Occasional performance improvements noted after updates by some users.

Cons

Recent updates/DEV release causing crashes or preventing the app from opening.
Excessive, frequent notifications with no way to filter or configure them.
Video/audio problems: missing audio, stuttering, crashes; live streaming blocked outside Italy (region‑locked).
Slow performance and poor navigation/UX (alerts don't open the requested article, intrusive autoplaying videos/ads, no night mode or settings).
