★★★★★
I like the idea behind the app I like the idea behind the app, and from early usage it seems great! I read recommended this app by the Guardian.
★★★★★
Very nice, but needs better mobilizer Very nice way to get access to lots of news, but it could use a better mobilizer like Instapaper or Google Mobilizer.
★★☆☆☆
app is nice, content needs work the look and feel of the app is nice, but disappointing to see that the 'world news' is 90% and more from the US, with the occasional story from the UK...would be better if there was a more balanced mix in that section.
★★☆☆☆
Crippled Limited Sharing Deleted... doesn't permit sharing on Google Plus. Silly limitation in this day and age!
★★☆☆☆
This app has stopped working on Nexus 6P. By stopped working I mean it displays no content. Please fix it. Thanks
★★☆☆☆
Great idea... Pretty unusable though, force close, force close, force close, force close. I'll be waiting and hope it comes together sooner than later.
★★☆☆☆
Crashes Crashes Then caused several other apps to un install. Cool app and concept but have to un install. Galaxy Note.
★★☆☆☆
Annoying Repetitive Sources Inability to block sources maked this app horrible. 80%+ of content in many sections is from the same sources,over and over. App should be called alternative BuzzFeed reader. I recommend BuzzFeed or Pulse.
