★★★★★ Mark Vacca · Apr 13, 2026

Outstanding.good to get news local and international.keep up with the world 24/7

★★★★☆ c. (Flowerbudhippy) · Mar 20, 2026

yeah I signed up for this free trial for 30 days no commercials well I seem to see commercials when I go to WPSD channel 6 is there commercials with about their new station but still what kind of commercials are you talking about that's a commercial to me, and I'm sick of looking at their commercials because it's the same ones over and over and over and over and over again channel 6 needs to fix it put some new commercials on their app or whatever that on this haystack for them

★★★★★ Steven Gates · Jun 21, 2026

This is an awesome news program. I carefully selected what news sources I preferred (including local TV channel news sources) and those preferences are exactly what is shown. Haystack is also available on the Roku - so I added it to both my Roku devices. Brilliant work developers!

★★★★★ Winnie Fleming · Jun 9, 2026

Very good all-around News app covering all news from local news to national news to world news. Political news, trending stories, economic stories, news on music 🎶, news on social media, scientific news, and fantastic weather news from all over the world 🌍.

★☆☆☆☆ TAFFY H. · Apr 13, 2026

You know what I love about Haystack? Absolutely nothing. It's bad enough that the audio sync has never worked. What's even more ridiculous is that I never get today's news. Yesterday is gone, yet that's what I'm getting today on my phone and TV. Par for the course my issues are ignored by customer support. Perhaps it's because I refuse the pay wall. The app (to me) needs a major overhaul. Yesterday's news, oh brother. Uninstalling this garbage.🗑🗑🗑🗑

★★☆☆☆ 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.
