Comments on NewsBreak Lite for Android

★★★★★ Bryan Partee · Apr 29, 2026

Great news break lite for getting local news and weather alerts.

★★★★★ Carla Noftsger · Mar 24, 2026

You always keep me informed of important issues, and I depend on you! Keep up the good work that ya'll do and Thanks!

★★★★★ Nina · Jun 27, 2026

I like the fact it's informative and clear and precise in its story lines,

★★★★☆ Edmon Jones · Jun 3, 2026

News Break Lite keeps me informed of most of the important news in my area and county. It will notify me, on average, every 20 min to an hour.

★☆☆☆☆ Michigan Cur · Nov 6, 2025

This app should be consider a virus! Installed by my phone provider does not allow me to uninstall, will unfreeze itself with every OS update, automatically turns back on notifications when it updates, added itself to my lock screen, bypasses lock screen protections and opens on its own unlocking the phone which then allows other apps to open even with accidental touch protectors on. Virus level activity. NONE OF THIS IS ACCEPTABLE Oh and the articles are mostly clickbait fake articles.

★☆☆☆☆ qthush4u2 Junebug · Jan 5, 2026

I had to download load this app to a new phone and found out that it has changed my comments to avial and hateful comments on certain things, and it has that I made comments when it was someone else this app is an app that will not state FACT OR TRUTH AND YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD IT TO A NEW DEVICE AND IT HAS WHAT A VIAL PERSON SAID AND PUT IT AS YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MADE THE COMMENTS WHEN YOU DID NOT....

★☆☆☆☆ rick e · Nov 9, 2025

This used to be a very good news aggregator, but they now allow incredibly annoying Temu video ads to run automatically and with the sound turned on. That's a dealbreaker for me. So long, News Break.
