✓ Love it!I like all the news hi lights,I am a news junki. I just found this app. and I am enjoying it very much. Thanks. SB.Version: 19.3.0
✓ This app rocks for local newsNews break is the best app I’ve tried for getting local news. I’ve tried many, but for most of the others, that means news from the nearest large cities. I live in a rural town and finding truly small town local news news online is difficult. Yes, you can go to your newspaper’s site, but that’s just what they cover. News break grabs all three of the very small towns in my community and spoon feeds it to me. That includes special events! There’s one large issue. If you share a story, people have to download the app to read it. Sight unseen, none of my friends has, so I no longer share because they resent being sent an article they have to download an app for. I wouldn’t download it either. Most news sites allow one to go to a link on the web rather than demanding a download. Seems like a much better way to get new subscribers..Version: 3.3.4

✓ Great news appIn this day and age it is a good thing to be aware of what is going on around us. I feel that this news app does a great job.Version: 19.2.1
✓ DecentI do like getting notifications throughout the day and that I can control how many notifications I get and when. I wish the comment sections weren’t so toxic, but free speech *is* good to have. It’d just be nice to see more respectful discord and less trolling happening, but alas. I thought there was a search function, but I can’t find it for the life of me. It’d also be nice to search for stories you are looking for especially when you open the app & it displays a story just to disappear a second later. That’s frustrating. It would be nice to see less depressing stories. I like keeping up with world, national, local and events, but don’t necessarily want to be inundated with depressing information all day long. I also like that it attempts to stay non-partisan. I prefer my news to be non-partisan so I can make my own decision, but also like seeing opinions from the left and right to better understand people’s positions. It is nice that there is a scale in your settings so the algorithms can try to give you want you want. All in all a good app..Version: 8.0.0
✓ Mr PryorVery good 👍 thanks.Version: 19.24.0
✓ Great app for local stuffThis is a great app to get local news. I have all the apps from big newspapers for international headlines and this app simply gives me something different, news that are more local for where I am and more relevant to my daily lives..Version: 16.0.1
✓ One spot for news - with a caveatUpdate: I’m my review below, what I was seeing was a web site I was directed to with more ads than news. I had erroneously thought that NewsBreak was responsible for the plethora of ads. However, this particular web site appeared more than once in my feed, and I was getting frustrated. With that being said, and understanding what’s going on, I do wish there was a way I could target that web site not to appear in my feed. I understand ads are a major way that revenue is created to keep these feeds going, but some go to far and I try to keep from giving them that income. I have been getting the email notifications and would go to the source to read the story. I decided to install and use the app - and that’s when I realized that the space given to advertising was almost 3 to 1 over actual news stories in the app. And I was forced to scroll through the ads to read part of a sentence, then scroll through another ad, to read another small sentence - all the way through the story. And trying to scroll on a phone without the app launching an ad is frustrating at best. I’ll stick to the email and read the stories from the source. The app is just to frustrating to use when you spend more time dancing around advertising than what the app purports to be..Version: 22.8.0
✓ Love app, hate notifications…I love this news app. It’s very informative, and keeps me up on my local news. What I don’t like is the notifications… I go through and clear the stories I don’t care to read, and the ones I’ve already read, and any that don’t interest me. They return the next day or within a couple of days. This morning I had 62 notifications for stories that were written as far back as 7 days ago, that I had already cleared because I wasn’t interested in reading them. How about fixing it so if I “clear” a notification I’m not interested in, it stays off my notifications… I really don’t want to turn off all the notifications. Other than the notifications, I do love and enjoy this news app. I recommend it to people quite a bit. Keep up the good work..Version: 22.27.0
✓ Good news sourceGood news source..Version: 19.24.0
✓ PleaseI would like to hear from you with a phone call from you.Version: 22.13.0
✓ NewsBreakI no am enjoying seeing all the news clips that I am interested in. I just can’t figure out how to get rid of some of the notifications once I have read the clips..Version: 19.10.0
✓ Great news consolidator appThis is my favorite news consolidator app. Does a great job presenting a wide cross section of top news items without obvious bias (possibly embedded but not obvious). Not sure but suspect there are some restrictions about the available sources but still hope to see continued expansion. A few wish list items: Restore simple view - this option was recently deprecated. Too bad. I really appreciated the ability to just view the raw content. Much quicker to navigate. Probably had issues with source providers. Source selection - would be nice to have the option to turn off sources (not just topics) that are uninteresting to me. Article ordering - it would be great if articles covering a “similar” topic were presented together in descending date order. I know that “similar” is a high bar. One of the principle reasons i use this app is to view diverse perspectives on the same topics. It would help if they were presented accordingly..Version: 22.33.0
✓ Local NewsI love reading local news when I am not at work. Bigger papers do not cover important news in my community and I need to be informed to feel comfortable living in Islip. I grew up in Islip at the time when the only local news was the Islip Bulletin which we had a subscription for at home. With the internet and great reporting, your “newspaper” has improved my quality of life because I feel less isolated from my community. This is very important during the COVID outbreak and for the aging population of Long Island who may not get out of the house as often as they did when younger. I hope that you continue to inform people of news, jobs, and events. I also want to congratulate you on a job well done and give you my best wishes for the future! Thank you all for your excellent work which is greatly appreciated!.Version: 3.8.0

✓ Diane MillerExtremely pleased,receive news immediately as it breaks..Version: 22.4.0
✓ Grammar Matters!Where are the journalists—and more importantly, the editors—who went to English class? The NewsBreak articles are very reliable in terms of real-time happenings; however, some of the articles lack the grammatically-correct impact they should provide. A more broad use of descriptions (adjectives) would be welcomed, too! (Find an online thesaurus?) For example, how many times did we have to read ‘restaurant in Southern California’ in the story about the San Pedro Fish Market (I believe that’s the name of it…!) that seats over 3,000 people?! Yes, I was born, raised, & reside in Southern California, & I am encouraged to visit San Pedro to experience the food & views (from beautiful photos, not details in the article), but why don’t we learn a little about the city & (on the marina) location (in San Pedro, California, if that wasn’t too obvious—but there are ‘many other locations’ mentioned, as well), until the address is listed at the very end?! It also would have been nice to learn where ‘the other locations’ can be found. Overall, this Catholic School Girl truly appreciates the NewsBreaks. I just wanted to provide some constructive criticism. Thank you!.Version: 19.24.0
✓ The truth about ParlerIt’s this simple, Parler does not atop the truth from getting out, which SOO many people want to see happen. They don’t want people to know about what’s REALLY going on, just whatever suits there narrative, which is simple- FAKE NEWS! On Parler you are free to be yourself, have total control of your own posts and who comments. I have been using it for a little over a month and I’m so thankful to meet soo many other patriotic people who are awakened to the truth behind what’s happening and why. We want you to think for yourself, and in order to do that you must be given all the information. Even that which you don’t want to believe is true. The truth isn’t always pretty, but there is so much beauty and love that you can’t see also because some people don’t want you to! Here you can. Here you are welcome..Version: 3.7.2
✓ No moreThis is an up dated review. Originally I only gave it 3 stars and here is why: I really used to like this app. I could get a synopsis of new stories or I could read the entire news story itself. However now there are ads appearing in the middle of the stories and they cannot be read I’m going to delete this app and I’m going to tell everybody I know not to get it until this is taken care of it is ridiculous. So frustrating to get in the middle of a sentence and then have the stupid car ad or some other ad in the middle of the rest of the story. Please take care of this problem. HOWEVER — I received a response from the developers thanking me for my review and I am now updating to 5 stars. And I want to thank the developers for being so responsive! I wish they all were..Version: 17.5.1
✓ News break is great!News break is a gods fun way , to navigate,the best fun news breaking at any one moment,news on the move that's what I like about News Break😃😃😃😃.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Great way to stay on top of current eventsThis app allows me to stay up to date with my local news as well as national news. I am also able to read articles from newspapers and news channels in the locations where my distant family members reside. I also love the ability to like the article helping the app to recommend more stories similar to it. There is also the ability to comment or respond to comments made by others. Unfortunately, there are often times lots of arguments in the comments due to difference of opinion. There should be a feature to report very offensive comments and the user be suspended for a period of time. Just be aware if you make comments rather good or bad, someone will likely counter it for their shameless entertainment. I usually pay those comments no attention. But overall the app is really great..Version: 22.4.0

✓ GreatGreat.Version: 22.9.0
✓ MY OPINIONHello I will take a minute to share my opinion of NewsBreak. One of the primary things I enjoy about this site is that they allow you to write you opinions on articles and stories. Most of the other news sites could care less about their readers opinion which is obvious if they don’t allow comments. Other news sites will allow you to comment if you subscribe to their rag. I personally do not like to be coerced into paying for subscriptions to sites that are not good to begin with. There are a few sites that post articles with a significant amount of misspelled words and grammar errors. You start to wonder who are these people writing the articles, do they not have spell check or they just don’t care about what they write. It makes me think that what ever they are trying to write about isn’t reliable. So far NewsBreak meets all the criteria and seems to do a through job at reporting the significant events all around the world. Great Job.Version: 23.11.0
✓ App for local and breaking news’ loversIn the past few months, my mom and I’ve switched to get my news through Newsbreak. Its entire news feed revolves around our personal interests. I like the way they present the “Following” tab as well as “For You” tab, both delivering personalized news feed. I am also impressed by the numerous good-quality sources they have, which seems to be the key metrics for a good news app right now. The full coverage of local news is the reason my mom love this app and choose it, as my family can get the latest news from our county and the news around the world. I do not get swamped with push notifications that much. .. the notifications I do receive are nice and gentle reminders of good stories that are available to read, which also reminds me that I have the application (which is nice! ). The only glitch is that sometimes they get me the old news stories in the notification, which confused me a little bit. I am looking forward to a way to report this error to the team so that they can do something about it. General speaking, Newsbreak is my favorite news app among several for now!.Version: 3.1.5
✓ 5 starsThe newsbreak app is super good for me because I like to know what’s going on and I like getting notifications and you also don’t know you can choose not to get notifications if you choose not to get notifications and Ignant tell you about a whole bunch of things like for Mia to notify me about hurricane Italia in shootings and stuff that’s going around in my neighborhood and my place so I love it is my favorite app so far in it a lot of people like it us whole lot and that’s why I gave it a five star rating because I can choose not to get notifications up at hardest said that and they get their notifications come really fast and it’s super cool to have the app so that’s what you should get it Also most people really love it and I like it because sometimes it notifies me when I really want to know about something that’s going on.Version: 23.35.0

✓ Could be a little betterNice layout with lots of info but I would love the option to remove or ignore headings, like sport etc.Version: 19.3.0
✓ Great up to date app but …Love the up to date news that the average news would never keep us covered on however the amount of junk mail I have been receiving since I signed up is horrendous. My up to date junk blocking isn’t able to keep up !.Version: 22.9.0

✓ NewsFantastic site keeps you updated on the move.Version: 19.4.0
✓ George Clarkson reviewVery informative.Version: 19.24.0
✓ Avoid the commentsUpdate 2: It appears the devs have allowed the blocking of news sources soon after my first review. You earned a star! Still, those comments are terrible though... Update 1: This app needs to disable the comments section completely or at least give people the option to disable it themselves. They are worse than Facebook. Probably equally as bad as Twitter. Though I admit I’m not on either anymore. People say the most vile, hateful things to each other and about the world in general. It really detracts from the purpose of staying up to date with current events. Original: I love that I can just get the top news stories and local headlines. However, I’m tired of accidentally clicking on certain news sources. There are certain ones I want to block and never have my data affiliated with, yet there is no way to do that currently. Please fix that..Version: 3.8.3

I can also get state federal and emergency news all on one app yyat one time Wonderful. This is my go to News App. Keep up the good job! A+5*s.Version: 16.0.1
✓ The Best App Right NowEverything about this app has been what I should have expected expect only one tiny thing. I’ve been using this application lately because of Coronavirus news, and to be honest, I don’t complain, but as I just noted earlier, if you guys can just add this one feature, it will be helpful for not only me, but maybe for many others out there. I think you should add a search field especially for countries and/or cities, so people can search for specific locations/country to get the news they want to know first. Many among us are separated from our families. Therefore, for those who are concerned, their first intentions when they open your application, they intend to look for news about the countries where they came from for their loved ones if covid-19 has worsened or not. This is before anything else. But again, I love you your application and I use on daily basis..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Great appThis app is perfect to keep up with local news and other topics of interest. I love the push notifications and would give it a five star if it wasn’t for one frustrating glitch. Whenever a notification of a story pops up on my phone, and I click on it to read, the story opens for a brief second and before I can click on it to read, the app refreshes it’s stories and I can’t find it anymore. I’ve resorted to seeing if I can beat the refresh moment..so it’s part of the fun. But seriously can you make it so that the notification actually open the story directly? There have been times I wasn’t able to find it and had to resort to searching on safari or just not reading it. This app is wonderful and that glitch doesn’t take away from its great features. There isn’t another app like it that I can find, so I will make it my go to. Thanks for developing it. Great work..Version: 3.5.3
✓ Self-checkout shoppingI personally prefer self-checkout. Because I can pay closer attention to prices. When another person is scanning everything for u they are often distracted in conversation with another person. Or going so fast that you can’t keep up. Then if there was a miss charge or something on your reciept afterwards. And have it to waste the time to get back in line to have it corrected, especially if you are in a hurry can be extremely aggravating. And that’s IF you catch the mistake before you get home. Also, when I’m using self-checkout I can bag my items the way I want to that makes it easier for me to transfer in and out of my vehicle & put away at home. Another reason that benefits me is because while I’m scanning my own items if I notice I’m getting close to going over my budget, it’s a lot easier for me to know what I would want to ring up with first priority opposed to things I would consider an extra treat. If you let someone else ring up your items. By the time you get your total & realize you went over limit, it’s so much harder & time consuming to search for items already bagged to decide what to put back 1 item at a time. Yes, I think self - checkout is 1 of the greatest ideas of this century..Version: 22.45.0
