Terrific App!!! I love the ability to see the sources that the authors used to write the story. John Solomon is probably the last true journalist left in media. The only criticism I have is when you are notified of a new story and click the link, it just brings you to the app. So many stories are published that you can't find the original story you wanted to read. Update 8/14/24 Still unable to follow the alert straight to the story, frustrating that I can't find breaking news.

Love the website, app is amateur night! Phone's back button should never cause you to leave app rather than go back one page, like all browsers/apps ever did. Also notifications do not link to the story they reference, just to the main page, & with a slightly older notification, the story has expired on the front page, & difficult to find. I just go to the browser page. Why bother you offering this app, & me using it, with these problems? Written in 2022, in 2024, still the same mess!

It's the most annoying news app I have ever used... Constant ad pop-ups.. can barely get the news with all the ads popping up... yuck!

Good news organization and app. However, notifications are not linked to the story. Rather, tapping the notifications take the user to the app landing page with top stories. The story referenced by the notification cannot be found. PLEASE FIX THIS

The overwhelming amount of pop up ads make this potentially good news site unusable. It's aggravating to try to read the articles because every time you close a pop up at, another one opens up in a second or two.

Loved the early version of the app but now it's all intrusive ads all the time. Pop- up here, pop-up there, pop-ups everywhere. After six months I'm done.

I can live with the adds but I have been trying for months fir someone to help me ve able to read their sources it click on them but they don't go to any files I can. If I can't read the sources they no better than anyone else and I have been a Soloman fan for years and know better I just wish they would try and help me if they dont I will delete in 2 weeks

I am a big supporter of John Solomon's journalism, BUT this app is TERRIBLE - Chock Full of Ads, Ads, Ads.... Almost unreadable! Ads above, ads below, ads covering 100% of page (have to search for "x" to reveal actual writings) , ads in the middle of (short) reports. C'mon John, have some decency and limits to the appearance of great greed. Some ads, Ok, but this is Ridiculous! Unininstalled it in disgust!

There are too many ads that block the content and make it very hard to see the actual articlea. I really like the app for news but I can't stand the ads.

App has more commercials and ads than a fairgrounds bulletin board!!! Ads every so many seconds! Ridiculous! Not worth the aggravation.
