| 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. |
| 2023-09-23 |  | | The worst application I have ever been forced to keep disabling and uninstalling off of my phone. It continues to reinstall itself and enable itself regardless of how much you protest and force stop the application. It is completely useless and does nothing but take up memory in my phone. Wish they would give the owner the choice of what applications are installed on their phones. Ugh!! |
| 2023-06-27 |  | | There should be negative stats for this. It's bloatware. It takes over your phone. It installed itself somehow in an update maybe? It changed my home screen. It will change the web addresses as I googled them. It will send me notifications constantly. I tried to disable it and it good itself deeper. Idk how to remove it. It grants background permissions and you can turn them off and they will turn back on. Factory reset does nothing but reset it the way it was when it installed. |
