Comments on heise online - News for Android

★★★★☆ Sascha Ivan · Jun 13, 2023
Everything works just fine except that when the app runs in the background with an article open, and I click on an article via the notifications, this article won't open immediately. Instead, it opens the app with the old one.
★★★★★ Nils Berger · Jun 16, 2025
Plain, simple - this is how news apps should be plenty of great deep dives sparkled with insights into programming and other stuff that comes in handy for every nerd.
★★★★★ Sebastian Hause · Nov 4, 2024
My favorite app to stay up to date with IT reacted news. It's a really good mix of pure IT news and other modern lifestyle related topics like Electric cars solar panels for home and more
★★★★☆ Max Ky · Sep 15, 2020
Best interface to heise content in android. Dark Mode would be highly appreciated :)
★★★★☆ Arno Pucher · Aug 14, 2023
Read a Computer Time and Greetings to Teleports 🍺✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧
★★★★☆ Maik Brachmann · Dec 30, 2020
Sometimes the news collection of boti doesn't work
★☆☆☆☆ Attila L. Toth · Feb 13, 2021
Tool OK. Content much too politically leftist.
★☆☆☆☆ Daniel Probst · Apr 15, 2021
Have a Heise+ monthly subscription and now app suddenly asks for a pur abo to get rid of tracking cookies. I'm already paying???
★☆☆☆☆ RetroGuard · Sep 3, 2021
Used the app from time to time. Now I'm being forced to accept ALL cookies including trackers. No, thanks. Expected a bit more from an IT magazine, but hey who needs options and privacy on the internet when there's money to be made. Just sad
★☆☆☆☆ Sig Weber · Mar 26, 2024
Latest version of the app crashes every 30 seconds. Switched to the Web version with Brave browser.
