Yahoo News: Breaking & Local for Negative User Reviews
✓ Yahoo use cheap tactics to get usersFirst they have comments under articles letting people express their views then what happened? You guess it! They don’t have enough moderation or moderators to watch all this and they have disable it. Of course they claimed is only temporary but is not! Only reason why they have comments in first place is to attract new users. Once they hit number they just disabled comments. Yahoo is a scam and garbage company! I’m still remembering my email leak with password. I would never trust them ever! Avoid them at al cost and you will have happier life!.Version: 9.44.0
✓ Negativity NewsI personally feel that the entire News media including Yahoo has gone to feeding more and more negative news to the American public! There’s so much positive good news to report but not reported. The small percentage of negative things from all aspects of daily life are reported as if this is the way all Police officers are, its the way all airlines are, a particular car manufacturer has so unsafe cars, nothing in politics are done productivity ... I can go on and on. If your wandering I was a registered Democrat now switching parties. I’ll just go with what does get done, not sit with a party that obstructs and complains..Version: 9.19.0
✓ Laughably bad interfaceThere are FIVE main control icons on the app interface: search, customize feed, home, videos, and settings. Was there no room left over to include an icon to switch news types on the fly, say, from US news to entertainment news? Unless I’m missing something here, that's absolutely absurd and illogical. And it makes the app 100% useless to me. I would love to see whoever designed this mess actually use it. Already uninstalled..Version: 9.55.0
✓ News should be informative not biased.After reading many user reviews I didn’t think there was any more to add, lots of negative reviews are warranted and the few positive ones are few and far in between. Take this from a long time user of yahoo, news article should be clearly written , unbiased and without leaning towards one side of the other no matter what the issue, particularly politics. We the readers are the ones who judge contents of stories and decide what is fact and what’s fiction, fake new. Liberal biased reporting will continue to push yahoo readers to other outlets, I wanna read truthful fact filled articles, not hearsay and opinion filled blabber. At the point of no return..Version: 9.18.0
✓ Featured articles freeze when scrollingThis app always has a few bugs but the latest has been SUPER frustrating! When you try to scroll through the featured articles, the app starts stalling or not responding at all. Only way around it is to force shut down the app and reopen, hoping that the featured article you were trying to click on is still there when you go back in. Please fix!!!!.Version: 8.3.1
✓ New version is annoyingThere was nothing wrong with functionality of the old version. This update has made stories not load. It's also slow, choppy and unreliable. The main page doesn't seem to work very well. Update: the app continually freezes opening and closing articles to the point where I close and reopen it. Frustrating and annoying. I’ve almost stopped using it in favour of just going through safari. The web is more up to date and no issues with responsiveness..Version: 9.37.0
✓ Glitches to different story when clickedThe app often opens an entirely unrelated story when when I’m trying to follow a different headline. Then when I go back, I can’t find the story I was originally interested in reading. It also switches articles. Often, when I’m in the middle of reading a long story it will suddenly switch to a different article with no way to get back to the story I was reading. The only option is to spend 5-10 scrolling through the feed hoping to find the headline again. This is especially annoying when I’m 15 minutes or more deep into a long read article..Version: 9.1.0
✓ User interface is stupidThis news app would close the news article I’m reading whenever I swipe the page down a bit too much or if I’m already near or at the same Top of the page. Instead of just scrolling to the top of the page, the app closes the article I’m reading. The app already uses swipe from left to close an article or return to main page so why hijack the swipe down gesture for the same purpose ?.Version: 9.69.0
✓ Bring back the comments, or lose me forever.So tired of the constant tweaks to the app, where in the process of making something supposedly better, they wreck something indispensable that persists until the next update. If you’re lucky. This time it’s the loss of ability to review your own comments. Tapping on your, or anyone else’s, circular icon fails to bring up the post history like it did previously. You get one star until it’s fixed..Version: 9.38.0
✓ Decent with flawsOverall, this isn’t a bad app. Reading other reviews I see a lot of complaints about inability to comment and “fake news”. Neither are an issue for me personally. My complaints about this app include the following. First, I cannot set my location, which means I cannot get local news tailored to me. Second, I cannot set filters. I’d like to filter out specific topics/keywords/etc. so that the news is actually interesting rather than an exercise in frustration. And last, I’d like to also filter out specific contributors (e.g. TikTok, Instagram)..Version: 9.87.0
✓ Too many ads annoying ads that keeps brings the page back upThis app is useless, I can’t finish a longer article because the greedy developers makes the article to jump back up to the beginning of the page to get you again through the ads. I will delete it. Or also the gready hungry for clicks you put an article on 50 pages hoping that we will click 50 times on your crappy Next page. Not anymore, deleted you.Version: 9.80.0
✓ Has Potential With Some Much Needed UpdatesNeeds to add these features to upcoming (hopefully soon) updates: 1. Videos need to be either transcribed in the article or offer closed captioning. Just throwing a video up with no reading option is isolating half of your app users who are reading in bed or can’t have the volume on. 2. When a user is reviewing their own comments (posts), there’s no way to Re-read the article you commented on. See notifications should allow a swipe left to view article or swipe right to see comment(s). 3. Search function is a joke 4. Give option to bookmark or favorite an article 5. Allow reputation points for posts.Version: 9.1.2
✓ Replies to comments are no longer chronologicalRecently the replies to comments changed from being listed chronologically to being based on “relevance”. I can understand ordering the initial comments by “relevance” but using relevance for the replies makes it impossible to follow the thread of a conversation. I have not found an option to view the replies to a comment in chronological order. A reply to this by a developer did not address my question. Reading through the comments that are not chronological renders the comment section nearly useless..Version: 9.23.0
✓ Text too smallThe text size in the Yahoo News app is too small for me, it causes eye strain. I’m only 52! Another reviewer was told there is a “Tt” button to adjust it, but I don’t see one. Also, it would be helpful when you are notified of a reaction to your comment to be taken directly to it instead of having to locate your comment. And also to have a link to the original article for reference or at least the headline of the story. Thanks..Version: 9.27.1
✓ Going downhillThis app used to have useful news. Now each article is choked with a summary section that is usually exactly the same as the first 3 paragraphs afterwards, an exact copy. Then there are only a couple more paragraphs before the article ends and does not contain the full article most of the time before auto- loading the next article. There are also many duplicate articles on the main feed. The feed is twice as long as it needs to be. It’s just too much work to try and dig through and get useful information from this app anymore..Version: 9.54.1
✓ This review is my last hope before I delete appAs a libertarian I truly HATE only finding severely biased articles. But the comment sections on here make it somehow bearable as I’m not expecting groundbreaking objective news only from yahoo. HOWEVER, yahoos Poor attention to details and fact checking their disgustingly biased progressive left side of literally EVERY article is such a let down because THEIR base won’t leave them, but after all they’ve recently been through as a company, why aren’t they listening to customers exactly like myself who they should be trying to scope for?.Version: 9.3.0
✓ What happenedI’ve had Yahoo News for several years, recently I’ve had trouble. If there is a link on Google news for a story from Yahoo, I keep getting the same story over and over again about wild horses???? I went directly to the Yahoo news app I have on my iPad and unfortunately the same thing happens. As of today, I have deleted the app and have now reinstalled it. Crossing my fingers! Maybe I’ll be able to do an update on this review..Version: 9.77.1
✓ Terribly BiasedI downloaded the app a few days ago. I finally decided to open it after hearing some outlandish and racist questions from a Yahoo Reporter during the White House Press Conference today. Upon opening the app the headlines are somehow more hyperbolically exaggerated than CNN’s website. Not to mention there were endless ads. I had hopes of a “fresh” and fairly balanced reporting of the news in today’s fake news scene. And what I got was the most biased media source to date. Do not waste your time in downloading this. I’ve since deleted it..Version: 9.16.0
✓ Updated interface horribleUsed this app regularly to get access to basic news. Recently updated the layout that was poorly made. The top trending articles gives you almost no information with some pictures. The normal articles itself you must “continue reading” to read the full article which then changes the format of the article and makes you lose your place. Updates made no improvements..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Video ProblemsI use this app to watch the news and normally do not have problems , however this time I wanted to watch a video that is part of an article and it tells me: “due to license restrictions, this video cannot be play on a tablet. To view the video, use a mobile phone instead “. I am using a mobile phone, not a table...I am using using the app that installed on my iphone..Version: 9.22.0
✓ Terrible updateEver since the recent update this app is awful. It makes you turn the screen upright rather than being able to leave it sideways. But then it still cuts off half the screen the first time you click an article. Then every time you choose another article it keeps getting smaller and smaller. I don’t understand how you can screw it up so bad. I also don’t know what “improvements” were made. Only difference I see is crap. Change it back or fix your issue.Version: 9.0.0
✓ Terrible appNot sure if it’s the algorithm but the app pushes a lot of clickbait and one-sided/biased articles. Not too many objective articles which is terrible for the current state of the world where people just want straight fact and reporting without the biased opinion of the writer. Not to mention, the comments section is a rotten cesspool of people who seem to be on the extremes, in echo chamber, and only there for confirmation bias. I probably had the app for 5+ years and I thought it was pretty neat. I thought it was more of just objective news back then and I was hoping it would get better but it just kept getting worse so finally deleting it..Version: 9.88.1
✓ Had to uninstallI had to uninstall this garbage app today. For some stupid reason, yahoo decided that I needed to know breaking news every 30 seconds for news that happened days to months ago. I got a breaking news notification that the election was called for Joe Biden, followed by a breaking news story that the Capital was breached. I mean seriously, that’s freaking breaking news now? This started yesterday and continued today, so I had to get rid of the app as it seems an update done broke the app..Version: 9.49.0
✓ Keeps getting worseThe comments are more fun then the articles. I love the dialog, but every time they do an update they remove functionality on this app. Now my comment history is only in the most recent order (can’t sort by likes and comments) and they started tracking my likes as if they were comments which clogs up the history feed. Now I can’t even make a post. Does anyone know another news app I can switch to?.Version: 9.38.0
✓ Dangerous garbageI have read Yahoo news since the late 1990’s. I have seen it decline in quality up to this current point- Yahoo news is often false, poorly researched and littered with errors. Worse, the links are often clickbait that make you click several other links just to get to the article. In several cases, a headline may read “See the photo everyone is talking about”... only to find the article has no photo. Thousands of comments on such scam-articles share the frustration. I believe Yahoo News is a greedy con. They hate you, treat you as a product and their information is dangerous to minds that are easily Influenced. I am not liberal nor conservative. I value balanced common sense as much as it is possible to find balanced common sense. I wish the best for humanity in a non-dogmatic way and believe everyone deserves happiness. Yahoo News does not..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Crashing for MONTHSThis app has been crashing for months. Using a new iPhone 14 with up-to-date iOS. Try to open the app and it’s the white screen with the yahoo insignia in the center for maybe 10 seconds and it crashes and disappears leaving you with the home screen. Restarting the app for the second time works. But why must I have the app crash and then have to restart it again to get it to work? I thought I reviewed this before but my review was not there so I am trying again with this review. Maybe a developer or someone from the app will read this..Version: 9.93.0
✓ Won’t go to landscape anymore!!!I don’t know what happened, what update did this, but all of a sudden when Newsroom opens it switches from landscape (which I keep my iPad locked in) to portrait and then that mucks everything up. Can’t see parts of the sty and have difficulty scrolling. And I’m still not a fan of Yahoo not just taking us to a browser - I preferred that. At least it seems like it consistently is taking us always to the app rather than half the time to a browser, half the time to the app. I’m not a fan though. The app opens up much more slowly than my browser did..Version: 9.0.0
