Comments on Stears for Android

★★★★★ Where to start? The wonderful and easy to use UI? The ability to edit fonts for readability? Or the general quality of the articles? I can't find anything to criticize in this app. Thumbs up to the Stears team. A nice addition would be AI-generated audio versions of the articles, so I can get my daily Stears fix on the go.
★★★★★ Excellent source for well-informed insights, on the world of business and economy in Africa.
★★☆☆☆ Guys, don't bother installing if you want it to monitor the election. It's not worth it.
★★☆☆☆ I had given this app 5 stars before, but now I have to bring it down to 1 star.I paid a subscription of 10k/month a bit expensive, but I didn't mind, now soem genius in there decided to introduce a KYC I guess to better improve the quality... But here is the hilarious thing, the parameters were faulty such that were there is meant to be a drop-down nothing... Now this is the real killer, if you don't update you can't access the news lol, I just went to the play store and canceled my subscription
★★☆☆☆ It seems you're not sure of yourself, how am I supposed to rely on this your AI where votes of some candidates magically started decreasing. Like it seems so confusing, is you're not getting your info from the right source let us know😕
★★☆☆☆ Don't connect to the internet. Does this app have a special internet service?
