| 2024-10-27 |  | | This app gets you to install it on the basis in will show you the breaking news where you live . It ask the location and I add it . Yet it gives you know new about your area . It will give you the breaking news of the area's (state's) around your srare . |
| 2024-10-17 |  | | I haven't got to really using this app yet, but I will let you know soon about my expirence , checking out the latest News / breaking news. |
| 2024-06-03 |  | | The app would be leaps and bounds better if it didn't allow all of the blatant spam/bs ad's to advertise on there and I'd estimate about 20% of the "breaking news" alerts are for trivial inconveniences for small random communities all over the country. I like having a diverse news source, but I disagree that a missing dog getting found in Georgia is "breaking news" especially when I live on the West Coast. |
| 2023-01-21 |  | | I like the App for the most part. It's open news not significantly censored comments unless vitriolic. The problem I have is ads that randomly pop up that have forced sound. One should not have to be worried that random attention is brought up due to an app. Again not against ads understandable. Bills have to be paid & users might find something interesting. However give us an option to mute or turn on a close caption for ads. |
| 2022-11-11 |  | | Greed should be the name of this app. I don't believe I have ever seen so many ads in one app. This app it's not only loaded with ads which make it junky looking to begin with but the Articles themselves just repeat over and over as you scroll down. Not to mention the fact that when you do click on an article to read it takes you to the new page which requires you to tap on continue reading which often takes you to a website on available page. What a waste of time!!! |
| 2022-01-25 |  | | It takes news re-directed from your local newspaper's app, and mixes it in with local insignificant stories from every town across the country, as if it were from your own home town, but it is all extremely inundated with advertising all over the screen, including obnoxious full-screen video ads of 20 seconds or so in length! The whole app is basically one big collection of advertisements. |
| 2021-12-06 |  | | Sends a loud notification every 10 minutes. It happened so much that I had to restrict notifications, and eventually deleted the app because every week or so it would start sending notifications again. Other than that it's an okay app. Mostly boring, unimportant news about the government. Far from "Breaking News". Just a bunch of clickbait BS drama that only bored, nosy American housewives would find interesting. |
| 2021-09-07 |  | | For the most part it is good. However every once in a while some people are allowed to get away with using racial slangs.and then at other times I get reported even though I did not break any of the rules. Aside from these troublemakers I would say it's a pretty good website. You'll never be perfect but keep trying never stop trying to reach it. Also this app is safe.there are some other apps that can cause your phone to jam and malfunction another ways. This one is a safe one. |
| 2021-02-28 |  | | I have had good experiences on this news app. and I would strongly recommend it to anybody who not only would like to find out what's going on in the country and the world but also would like to interact with other people. of course no app is perfect and they're always problems that come up. but in general this one is a pretty good one and it's maintained pretty well. |
| 2021-01-18 |  | | From one star to five. Support for this app is simply the best in the business. Once again they have worked with me in realtime to resolve a technical glitch over the course of many hours to get me up and running again. Bravo! The app itself is excellent, very customisable, consistently functional, and the user conversations are diversified. This is the only app you will ever need for world, national or local news. Thanks again guys! |
