| 2024-12-16 |  | | Pretty good, especially sorting recent news across many sources. Don't like recent "Top Girl" ads, though. |
| 2024-11-09 |  | | Very interesting and useful app. Now I can stay informed about Linux 100%👏. The app is almost always stable and the user experience is great. Keep up the good work and 5 stars for your wonderful efforts👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. |
| 2022-11-18 |  | | it's great! does what's advertised, just needs a paid no ads option |
| 2022-05-27 |  | | Adds, adds, Aaaaaaads. Look, I don't mind it as long as there is something reasonable. 1/3 full screen adds cannot even be closed and I have to kill the app and start it again. For ~10 min of usage 2 fullscreen adds and both not closable. |
| 2022-03-09 |  | | It works amazingly! Ads but it aggregates news for you so it's still amazing. |
| 2021-09-04 |  | | It does what it does, not more, not less. But I am still waiting for the feature to favorite news that I want to read later on. EDIT : the feature works perfectly fine, just having the icon all on the bottom right is painful for my fat thumb. I don't know how to solve this ... otherwise the new Interface looks good as well, points for that. |
| 2021-03-01 |  | | Good variety of news sources, covers kernel development, patches and security updates, as well as general news. |
| 2020-11-10 |  | | App is very wonky about portrait/landscape. I liked the pad version a lot. The cell version, not so much. |
| 2020-10-19 |  | | Love the aggregation of Linux news...hate the implementation. Not able to change much in settings. Not able to to eliminate useless feeds. No way to mark all read. In app browser is lacking. The implementation of monetization ads is horrible...try to hit the back button and it take you to the advertised site or app. One has to hit the X button on the ad to get out of the ad. I want aggregated Linux news...but not this badly |
| 2020-10-19 |  | | Great little app. Lots of sources. Edit: Intrusive and loud adverts have started appearing, so now uninstalled. . |
