Comments on Open Source News & Trends for Android

★★★★★ Varma Sagi · Mar 19, 2017

What don't I see news updates from the last few days? ◽ Update: I was on the 'All News' section & 'Newest' tab, but could only find 1, 2 or no articles. ◾ A reinstall made everything normal. 🔹 Reply: Enough storage & have not changed any settings for a long time. Will send details if it happens again.

★★★★★ Solomon Homicz · Jan 19, 2016

Works fine Comes up with a comprehensive list of open news. Only app I've found that is this comprehensive.

★★★★★ Nati Berkover · Aug 18, 2016

Awesome Exactly what I was looking for. Great source for the latest open source & Linux news

★★★★★ Goutam Mishra · Dec 21, 2016

Very informative Open source news collections just got seamless.

★★☆☆☆ Dan R. · Mar 11, 2018

App used to be 5 stars and worked great. The latest version v3.942 is using WAY too much CPU usage... constantly at 55 - 85% usage while the main app is open (Widget is fine). Once I close and swipe away this app, the CPU usage drops to 2-8%. This app causes my phone to get quite hot +75 °C. Devs need to fix this ridiculous bug. Phone is a Huawei using default OEM OS Android v7.1.2 -not rooted. I am now looking on GPlay for a replacement for this app. Note1: Your Cybersecurity News app has the same CPU high utilization issue as well. Note2: Not going to purchase the ad-free version until the high CPU utilization issue is fixed.

★☆☆☆☆ J S · Jan 15, 2022

J S This is a closed source app that is full of advertising and spyware, leeching off of the open source community. Don't support this trash.

★★☆☆☆ A Google user · Jul 25, 2017

The app is just a registry of articles about open source software. You can't filter, can't use notifications to open articles.

★★☆☆☆ John Kotrla · Oct 11, 2016

Ads too intrusive Full screen ads are way over the top
