User reviews
Inshorts is widely appreciated for its concise news summaries, user-friendly interface, and quick updates, making it ideal for those with limited time. Users value its clean design and broad coverage of topics. However, some have raised concerns about repeated stories, irrelevant news despite preferences, and limited content personalization options. These areas highlight opportunities for improvement in an otherwise well-loved app

The app actually is good in the aspect of covering all types of news, but at times the ads seem like the News... Overall, the app's great.. it's showing up with new features be it insights or others and also in all other sectors!

When I first started using this App in 2015,the app was in its raw form but liked the concept,it was new & refreshing But nowadays, this app has become a bit boring,their news selection & writing has gone down. Seems like the editors seating in the cabins are pushing teams to create N number of shorts per day.Too many news shorts in a day, many of them are so poorly written & included in news just to grow shorts count per day. Plus so many Pakistani news these days looks like pushing some agenda
