News for Negative User Reviews

App is quirky!I downloaded the freeby and it kept shutting down so purchased the new one and still can't get it to work right. Would like to get all my news in one place but this still needs work..Version: 1.6

Can't access categories!Was fantastic , but woke up this morning and couldn't access categories, so deleted then reinstalled. Same issue again straight away. Basically I can't get any news or anything from any other category at all now. Wife's is exactly the same, so is useless now. Obviously needs sorting their end. Shame....Version: 2.0

I like the app, but...The app does what it says it will do, so I like it from that perspective. It's great being able to catch up on all the news from around the world in particular categories, e.g. automotive. BUT, there is one really annoying feature that is making me want to delete it from my iPhone. It is very intrusive. I've turned off all the notifications but there's one that can't be turned off. When you come out of your lock screen the app places a scrolling News notification over the top portion of your screen. I have to wait for it to disappear before I can do some things and find it interferes with my use of my iPhone. Actually, writing this review has made me realise just how annoying it is, so I'm going to delete it. Much as I like it, and I've been using it for a couple of months, it's just not worth the pain..Version: 1.6

MrsKeeps crashing...impossible to read..if someone out there is reading this...please fix..with an update...then a +review would br forthcoming!!.....did update today and it's still crashing...I hope you can fix this as the concept is fantastic....will provide a review when I can actually use the app.Version: 1.2

Needs opinion pagesThis app dissappointed me. It would earn more stars if it had the option of opinion pages. Also , loading of some content is clunky-- takes multiple tries to get the entire article. Three stars may too many-- more like 2.5..Version: 2.3

J DownieAn excellent app but impossible to use ....crashes every 10 seconds...Will hold on to it for a while to see if it gets fixed, if not afraid it will have to go !!!!!!!......NNow have downloaded an update to fix crashing but still does occasionally. There is now a "boing" every time apiece of news comes in ...I have tried to turn the sound off in "settings" but to no avail. Have deleted it ....Pity it's a good piece of kit !!!!!.Version: 1.3

Sort date broken since last updateSort news by date in french broken since last update, please take a look. This is one of the best news reader..Version: 4.0

Clean look, Feeds keep disappearingCould be a brilliant news reader, if only the custom feeds wouldn't keep disappearing. Seems to be an issue only if you have more than three custom feeds though..Version: 2.5

Stop CrashingWell I didn't know if it was a legit app at first because there weren't any reviews but I downloaded it so hopefully it doesn't destroy my phone. However the interface is really creative and easy to read. Its exactly what I was looking for. I'm a super busy student & don't have time to search for news online, i like that it gives multiple news sources. The only problem I'm having is keeping the app up long enough to read. Every time I click on it, it crashes within like 4- 5 seconds. It's really annoying. So if you fix the bugs then it will definitely get 5 stars..Version: 1.1

Good butReading news delivered in one app is good but how do i control notification style and remove some subscription"? Fix this n it will be 5 star..Version: 1.4

DisappointedI bought this app because of The Economist magazine, but i cant read the full article. Loved the app initially but very disappointed as i cant read my fav articles. Can developers tell me whats happening??.Version: 2.0

Free works paid not working at all!!!I just purchased the paid version for my XS Max and it doesn’t work at all!! It’s not even updated to use the full screen of the XS Max and you can’t see any news at all or even add any. I want a full refund!.Version: 10

CrashesCrashes on start 100% of the time on ipod touch fourth generation..Version: 1.3

Tab back to original articleThis is a good app for the quick news. When you do pull up an article and click one of the links you can't get back to the original article. Hopefully this can be fixed unless I'm missing something..Version: 1.6

CrapYour app is unstable and crashes. I have reloaded it five or six times but it still will not work. It crashes when loading pages and when you can add content it crashes when you try to use it. Your last "fix " did nothing..Version: 1.2

A good app in concept, but it crashes frequently.I couldn't even get through adding all the feeds I wanted without it crashing a dozen times or so, sometimes as soon as I opened it up. A good selection of news feeds from around the world plus the ability to add custom feeds makes me want to use this app, but they need to fix the horrendous stability issues first..Version: 1.2

Good app, but…Good RSS feed app which does exactly what I was looking for - BUT it regularly loses my custom feeds and replaces them with random standard ones, usually from news sources on the other side of the world that I'm not interested in! Needs dev work to fix..Version: 2.6

Disappointing UodateLoved this app up until the most recent update. Now it loads less quickly and usually freezes after I open one or two news items, which is sending me to other news apps that I used to pass in favour of this one. Wonder if there is a remedy?.Version: 2.7

No news is not good newsGood concept. Poor execution. I can no longer read full stories. All I get is a spinning wheel..Version: 2.1

Slow siteTakes too long to download days news..Version: 15.1

Good when it worksA good app when it functions properly but I've been having problems when my reading is interrupted by the app crashing or by error messages about feeds being missing, even though I'm currently reading the feed. If the problems are sorted out, it might be a consistently very good app, but at the moment, it's barely useable..Version: 1.5

Some good features, needs work.I like the ease of subscribing to feeds. It does not need to give a pop up every time it fails to find a network connection, just not refreshing would be far less disruptive than a bunch of notifications I have to dismiss. It could have background app updating ability; like a lot of other apps I do not want it updating and adding stories in the middle of a list I am trying to read. And do I really need to click through 3 or 4 levels of story beginnings and "read whole article" links to read a whole article?.Version: 3.3

Paid for it, ruined it!This applet worked just fine in "free" mode. I have now ruined it by paying for it, sigh. When will I learn? I cannot get the prog to find any categories (news feeds etc) so it is basically useless. Does anyone have any clues how I get functionality back? I am now using Gnews, but it's not as good..Version: 2.0

Missing FeatureNot a bad app but until articles can be shown on web mot worth buying..Version: 2.0

Rubbish!I paid for this App and am furious! I find it really hard to believe the positive reviews here are not manufactured by interested parties!! PLEASE DON' T WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE ME! What an utter pile of... Disaster! I'm not interested in the news feeds offered by default but the fact I could add custom feeds was appealing.... Trouble is, having spent much time adding all those I wanted... they mysteriously disappeared all on their own soon after and some default feeds suddenly burst into life without prompt! I switched the default feeds back off & put painstakingly added my custom feeds again and low n behold the same thing happened! Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! Deleted App! P****d off!!!.Version: 2.1

Nice app when it works.This app is great when it works. Unfortunately shortly after using it I can no longer choose the news from various countries. Without this feature the app is useless IMO. I removed the program and re-installed but the issue is the same. I am using the pay for version - not impressed considering I paid for it. The app offers no methods to troubleshoot the issue..Version: 2.0

Crashes contantlyThis app allowed me to add a number of feeds, and worked once. Today, it does not work at all. When I started the app, there was nothing displayed, even though I added a number of feeds yesterday. I tapped the + icon, and a number of stories appeared, but then the application crashed and it hasn't worked since. There are no settings in the "Settings" app for iPad, and there doesn't seem to be a way to export your feeds, so you need to set it up on each device. I'm close to asking for my $.99 back..Version: 1.6

App has quality has decreasedUsually this app is 4-5 stars and my favorit news app. However, this app has many bugs now it is almost unusable. With some improvement this app can go back to 5 stars again but until then 3 stars I think is fair..Version: 2.1

Free works paid version doesn’t at allDownloaded and used the free version but got sick of the ads so upgraded to paid version. Now no news at all. No categories to pick from and can’t search for news feeds wasted money..Version: 10

2017 update does not work correctlyThis update has been a long time arriving. There is a problem with notifications, when you click on them to read the latest news, they do not open. Also the news is about a day late. Very disappointing..Version: 4.0

Tremendous potentialI really want to like this app but there are two problems: 1) entering feed URLs is a pain - freezing, crashing & forgetting. 2) general freezing & crashing. Both don't seem insoluble & I hope they are (fingers crossed)..Version: 2.6

Does not work on iOS 12Downloads and opens but can’t get the Categories page. Just blank. Worked well on iOS 9 and 10..Version: 10

Stopped workingThis was one of my favourite apps but has stopped working, probably as a result of an update. Now crashes and takes you back to the ipad home screen every time you try and follow a link. Hope you fix it...Version: 3.2

Won't openLoved this app, but since update won't even open, please help, I've deleted it and then installed. Done a restart and still nothing, any suggestions? Update June 2012 - now all sorted. Love it. Have a good choice and it's free!.Version: 1.6

Pretty disappointing half a star.I was looking for an app for a bespoke news point. I.e. Away from the Murdoch Press. This App only works off RSS feeds and independent news sites don't seem to use these. Pretty useless really. Not much different from Google News in fact..Version: 3.3

Likes to CrashI actually like the app, it's different. However, in the last 30 minutes, it has crashed 5 times and I'm not doing anything except surfing the news which is what's it's for. I hope you fix the crashes and I like you offer Newsvine in the app..Version: 1.5

Potentially a great app but....This app accesses so many useful feeds, you would get updates on just about anything you're interested in and even content that is normally paid comes free! However, it's still clearly embryonic, so its got a lot of issues e.g: crashes all the time (though updates have improved this but not solved it). Also, the most annoying feature is that it alerts you to virtually every innocuous news item in the feed. This can because unbearably distracting if you subscribe to more than one or two feeds. You should be able to opt out of the alerts but doesn't appear possible! This alone is a deal-breaker! Basically, they need to work really hard on this app to get it right; then it might even be worth paying for let alone getting it free but for now, I've had to delete it! Plan to reinstall at some point though in the hope they've fixed their teething problems!.Version: 1.4

Not badNormally works well and keeps up to date with recent news, but sometimes all my custom feeds disappear and I have feeds from Australia. Would be nice if that didn't happen!.Version: 2.5

Constantly freezes! Not recommended.Sorry to say but a very good idea of an app made a hash of its idea in the execution. The app constantly freezes. This happens whenever I open it first and then subsequently with every page refresh. Worst oft all: non-existent customer support even for the paid version..Version: 2.6

Best ap for Australian newsEasy interface allows access to news from major papers in Australia and overseas. My only real issue is the instability as it crashes quite frequently, otherwise I'd give it 5 stars.Version: 1.5

JunkNever works properly. Doesn't load stories or articles. Just spins away on both my iPad and iPhone..Version: 1.8

News AppFrustrating, freezes, double image on pictures, lose your place. If you got it from a shop you'd take it back, but there's no customer service line. I got the professional (paid for) version..Version: 2.6

Need improvementI should say I do like this because this an one in all app, while the question is, the notification for economist is quite new but when I run the app, all the news is days old. I can't even find the story showing in the notification.Version: 1.4
