User Reviews

"I've been a loyal EWN listener/viewer for the past ten years, and I consistently find their news coverage to be exceptional. They provide in-depth and unbiased reporting on local and international events, keeping me well-informed and engaged. I particularly appreciate their commitment to investigative journalism and their dedication to holding those in power accountable. EWN's team of journalists are highly skilled and deliver the news with clarity and professionalism.

EWN is my preferred news source, and the revamped app is responsive, looks good, and simple to use. It is a vast improvement over its predecessor. My major problem is that there is no ad free paid version. The ads are incredibly intrusive, coming out of nowhere, and often including sound. I fully understand the need to generate revenue, but every time one of those ads pops up, I want to uninstall the app.
