2025-01-30 | 1/27/25 Installed itself on my phone. I never installed this app but just now when I why to use my phone, it was there on my home screen. That's not cool. 1/29/25 Update: I disabled the app as I can't seem to uninstall it and after reading the developer response in my email today, the app reappeared on my homescreen like a virus! I didn't want it, never installed, don't know how I got it and now I can't get rid of it! | ||
2025-01-18 | Never wanted this app. Now I can't get rid of this one either! Yet you - Google - refuse to check into the other Moto devices attached to my phone that I tell you SHOULD NOT BE!!! You just keep them right on my account.. device I am on now without giving me ANY HELP OR SUPPORT AT ALL WHEN I HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY TELLING YOU they're not active no more..I do not have them on or access to them..& ASKING for your help. 🤬 | ||
2024-12-18 | TERRIBLE. This terrible VIRUS app came pre-installed on my Assurance Wireless phone, and would hijack whatever I was doing with some annoying and unwanted news. This shouldn't even exist. | ||
2024-12-15 | Didn't request this. Don't want it on MY equipment that I OWN and paid my hard earned dollars for. You are not entitled to be on my property without asking my permission. Anything less constitutes TRESPASSING, and trespassers will be dealt with the full extent of the law!! | ||
2024-12-05 | This app came pre-installed on my phone and i cant uninstall it, i can only disable this app or force stop this app, please remove this app. | ||
2024-11-03 | Installed via carrier, so no choice. Did I mention that it seems to take over the phone and constantly runs the lock screen kicking me out of YouTube or any other video viewer, web browser, and other apps. The only way I can deal with this app is to force stop and disallow. Oh and it seems to come back like a freaking zombie from a horror movie this thing just refuses to die like it's a true malware. | ||
2024-09-18 | 💥NEGATIVE 5STARS!😡👎🗑️ This is the worst forced app ive ever had. Anyone w/gov issued phones will see this issue most likely, since we take the phones they offer us, they force BS down ourthroats and waste any data limts we might be able to use. Stays open in background, drains battery, constantly interferes w/my search's, apps etc. It's a str8 up Issue just having to open my phone everytime the screen goes black. Now I don't even get talk/data so the phones just for 'News'🤨SERIOUSLY?🤬FY | ||
2024-09-18 | Same as others here, android update auto installed the app, the app menu in settings does not allow you to disable it, uninstalling it is impossible, and since the last android update my phone has slowed it's processing considerably and become exremely 'buggy'. Android remove this useless garbage as soon as possible. | ||
2024-09-16 | When I did my last update on my phone this app was automatically installed. I'm on a free gov phone that has limited data. So now everytime I open my screen it pops up which is zapping my data. I went to uninstall it and was told my phone will not work properly if I do since it came "pre installed". Horrible! I don't watch the news on purpose. But .... | ||
2023-10-05 | This came pre-installed on my phone. It makes my phone take 20-30 seconds longer to open than it should because it has to load up it's advertisements with a light side helping of news. It will not let me uninstall it, just disable it. I thought I owned my phone, why can I not decide what non-essential apps should be on it? Terrible app. Would NEVER recommend. Don't install this unless you want practically unremovable bloatware. Their cut and paste response to criticism is just icing on the cake. |
