Comments on Haystack News: Local TV News for Android

★★★★★ Colin Blake · Aug 12, 2026

This app has replaced all of my other news sources because it pulls from all of those sources. Great for local and international coverage. The free version is superb, with limited ads and short skip timers.

★★☆☆☆ Surreal 69 · Jun 26, 2026

The local news two days old and mostly no updates 😕. Recently, crime occurred got freaked out and being on security alert within my neighborhood 😳 come to find out it had occurred two days ago 🤨 Now searching for update 🙃 No updates.

★★☆☆☆ sudhir kumar · Aug 27, 2026

Ugliest icon, cloud icon pinned on status bar. For I uninstalled this nothing disgusting is acceptable to me at any cost. It was the only video news app that I loved most. For that ugly cloud icon.

★★☆☆☆ Michael Corey · Jun 17, 2026

Haystak would be a great app and would be worth paying for if and only if there wasn't a commercial after every single article or in the middle of every single article it's not just the app it happens on Roku too and also on Amazon fire stick why would anyone pay for something that they know they're going to have a commercial after every single 10 to 30 second news articles that are actually all yesterday's news

★☆☆☆☆ Gary Ayer · Jun 9, 2026

A nothing burger!! Awkward, amateurish, a.i. newscaster., pick you options, and you still get newscaster stories and sources you did not pick, poor navigation. A waste of time.
