★★★★★ Bryan Partee · Apr 29, 2026
Great news break lite for getting local news and weather alerts.
★☆☆☆☆ Stephen Ross · Oct 5, 2026
Total ridiculous clickbait news break app, runs woke Orwellian style censoring AI worse than FB or Twitter during early covid. My first post which was simply correcting someone's false Statement was instantly deemed as going to violate their rules, did not call anyone a name, curse or even demean anyone, they just don't like my political view clearly.
★☆☆☆☆ 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....
★★☆☆☆ Cat · Jan 9, 2026
It's good for gathering news articles, but you can't dismiss nor block most of them if you aren't interested. There are just too freaking many of them.
★☆☆☆☆ william hunt · Mar 4, 2026
I just want to read the news. every day, I use this thing there is a prompt that tries to turn on my notifications. If I wanted my notifications on I wouldn't have spent the time to go into the permissions and turn it off. Easy enough to delete this one and find some other app I guess since that's the hill they want to die on
