It doesn't cover all the topics I'm interested in but the topics that it covers it does so very well and unwisely so..., 👍

★★★★★ Mary Gail Airheart Estes · Apr 22, 2026

Best App I have found that covers all news, all over the world. Plus Weather. Best App.

★☆☆☆☆ Loyd Kintz · Mar 19, 2026

UNWANTED. Installed without my permission. Please remove apps like Breaking News that pay to be installed on people devices without user permission.

★☆☆☆☆ Wanda Ethridge · Apr 16, 2026

These stories never happened or are hard to find to check their validity, I can't trust any news app that's all over the place and is more like a sensationalized tabloid gossip rag.

★☆☆☆☆ Allan Seabrook · Mar 20, 2026

Swamped by ads! Needs some redesign. Actually, a lot of redesign.
