| 2024-10-27 |  | | This is really one big advertisement; SO MANY ADS THROUGHOUT THIS APP, and many are next to impossible to close without completely closing the app. The developer allows adds with a small "x" which is a fake close icon. I'm an adult, I don't need ads for stupid childish games. If you want to have an option to purchase the app at a reasonable price that is fine by me. |
| 2024-10-10 |  | | it was alright to read with 5 sec ads in the old days but now after latest update 30 second ads are annoying because this programs idea was to read several tech blogs quickly. I dont like new program, and i dont recommend |
| 2024-10-06 |  | | Very good mix of news sources. Allows you to reorder and bring your favorites to the front.----- I spoke too soon. I've downgraded my rating from a 5 to a 3. Now this app forces "Most Recent" to the front which contains all the news you don't want to know. Back to update my review to very good. I can get rid of most recent. Very good source of the latest news without the politics. |
| 2023-09-19 |  | | Ads everywhere with every trick in the book to make them harder to close...now complete with ads that play annoying loud music but don't even appear onscreen so you have to force quit the whole app to get them to stop...uninstalled. |
| 2023-06-13 |  | | Allows deceptive full screen ads impersonating OS updates. Check your baggage developers. The ad showed up after backing out of an article. I don't have a screenshot and have Uninstaller the app. The full screen ad said there was an android update with yes and no buttons and nothing else. The only indication it was an ad was the small ad icon on the bottom left corner. |
| 2022-07-18 |  | | Obtrusive Ads. On more than one occasion the annoying ads keep blasting music despite closing the app requiring a force stop of the app. Not worth the headache for a new aggregator. |
| 2021-12-24 |  | | Do not use. All it does is index news and open a webview. You keep clicking on add+cookie banners. There's ads every few clicks - and those that fill the screen, take seconds to dismiss and blast music. It uses a strange webview (could be me) which, I suspect, doesn't get security updates. I'm getting strange ads tricking me into installing stuff. I suspect they're not coming from websites like Wired. Poor usability. Plus other reasons. |
| 2020-12-07 |  | | Loud, full screen and uncloseable ads are intolerable. I'm uninstalling. Maybe I'll try the app again in a few months to see if things have changed. |
| 2020-10-30 |  | | This app used to be really good. But lately I've been getting ads that won't close by hitting neither the "back" button or the "close" button that's below the ad. I have to force close the app to get the ad to shut down. Update: Still a problem nearly 2 months later... |
| 2020-10-15 |  | | Good app but the current newest version loads something every few minutes and it annoyingly scrolls all the way back up to the top in "Most Recent" no matter where you are. Also I had to comment on here to report this since "send feedback" just loads sharing options. |
