Comments on Headlines Impala for Android

★★★★★ Rozetta Landrum · Jul 4, 2026

I like the lock screen news when I'm able to read it.

★★★★★ Antonio Stalkfleet · Nov 13, 2024

I like it because I can choose to go to the page in real time or wait till I get home to view the article

★★★★★ Misty Beebe · Jul 15, 2025

Headline news has become routine for me, and because I have to fit it in with barely no time to spare, it is a quick way to see your breaking top stories. There is going to be changed in the world, good and bad, and it's up to you what you can take from it. You only get what you deserve!

★☆☆☆☆ Devin Olson · Mar 10, 2025

Major Privacy Violation. This application comes pre-downloaded onto the android phones that individuals receive from the government, but they make it impossible to completely remove the application, except at the root which most cannot do. The only option you have is to disable this application which most don't know how to or to check the permissions as this application will give itself UNNECESSARY permissions like camera access and even access to your microphone. Why does a news app need those?

★☆☆☆☆ Josh Hathcock · Jan 12, 2025

Forcibly dropped into my phone without my consent in any way. It's an illegal app from the Chinese government that mines our data. Their website "slide" used greed to encourage phone companies to let them hack you. The Chinese government are tyrants and need to stop their crimes against their own people, and others. The ccp has abused the han people since mao, free china, free Taiwan, free Tibet. Ccp knows only lies and hatred and violence. In secret, overthrow them. Ccp lack honor. Defy them!

★☆☆☆☆ Antithigram · May 21, 2025

This came preinstalled on my government phone. I have no use for this app because I want to install my own preferred news apps at a later date, so I disabled it. There's no ability to uninstall it, which is a shame.

★☆☆☆☆ P Carillon · Apr 27, 2025

I am with KW on this! This app installed itself on my government phone a few months after I received it, on my lock screen. It uses it up my data and my battery too. If I set an alarm on my device it is almost impossible for me to navigate to my alarm page, to the phone, etc., What's the point of having a lock screen if it is just advertising 'senior' 'dating' sites with pictures of young women? it's insulting to me, and a waste of their advertising dollars too! I need to keep my lock screen
