User reviews

Update: Still working good! Update: Works better now. Read the reviews. Tried it anyway. Removed it from my phone two days later. Unbelievably not user friendly in my opinion, even for a free version. The amount of ads and promts to to subscribe, ALMOST CONSTANTLY, are ridiculous, as is that many stories are for subscribers only. I considered subscribing until I saw the price. Content not worth it. Might have went $5 but not almost double that.

Mike Moore, 2025-02-04

I visited another city, 1000 miles from home, for 3 days, almost 4 years ago. The News Near You section of the app STILL shows ONLY news from that distant city with absolutely no way to force it to update or change my location. Like so many other parts of this app, it is utterly useless to me, now. Also, it's not uncommon to click on an article and have it open another. Closing and trying again goes back to the same incorrect one, and you never actually get the article you want.
