Comments on Linux News: Open Source & Tech for Android

★★★★★ aj willar · Feb 4, 2021

Great source for Linux news collected from many different sites. Love the list of unread article across all sites, this make it easy for daily updates.

★★★★☆ David Dick · Dec 16, 2024

Pretty good, especially sorting recent news across many sources. Don't like recent "Top Girl" ads, though.

★★☆☆☆ Dale Krebs · Oct 19, 2020

Love the aggregation of Linux news...hate the implementation. Not able to change much in settings. Not able to eliminate useless feeds. No way to mark all read. In app browser is lacking. The implementation of monetization ads is horrible...try to hit the back button, and it takes you to the advertised site or app. One has to hit the X button on the ad to get out of the ad. I want aggregated Linux news...but not this badly

★★☆☆☆ Anton Garbov · May 27, 2022

Adds, adds, Aaaaaaads. Look, I don't mind it as long as there is something reasonable. 1/3 full screen adds cannot even be closed, and I have to kill the app and start it again. For ~10 min of usage 2 full screen adds and both not closable.
