Hourly News for Negative User Reviews

Was my favourite...Does not work well since IOS 8.Version: 1.6.6

CrashNew version crashes upon start! This is on iOS 6.1.3.Version: 1.6.3

Used to be great...I've use this app daily for years. Seeing how I now the nuances of this app, I'm posting a review in hopes they get their act together and bring us an update. BUG: scroll button on timeline is terrible. One pixel width of grabbing room. You’ll see.... ANOTHER BUG: Starts all the podcast over from the beginning even if the podcast doesn’t have a new show.Version: 1.7.3

Very good, needs workGreat app, needs improvements: 1) the news sources are limited and repeat a lot of identical stories between them. If you're serious about news you will just end up with another unused app. 2) the interface needs a little improvement. Takes several tries to hit the settings button for example, and more customisation would be good..Version: 1.4

Crashes with custom feedsI have been using this app for almost 2 years now. Works great with default feeds. I have added 2 custom feeds 1. Numbers by Barrons 2. Readback by Barrons Strangely, playing through all the feeds, as soon as it reaches the custom feed, it crashes. If I go manually directly to the custom feed, it works fine for that feed. I think the developer needs to fix these bugs. Wish it would work flawlessly. It is still my go to app every morning when commuting..Version: 1.7.3

No UK content includedThumbnail shows BBC news BUT not available having paid my 49p - AVOID if in U.K. It's a scam!.Version: 1.7.3

Was great... now good... needs refresh!This app was the best of its kind for many years. It no longer operates when the phone is locked, which makes it useless if I want to play more than 1 news feed. Please refresh-update..Version: 1.7.3

Too many "file errors"Used to be better, now screws up all the time, cuts off in the middle of the newscast frequently. ANNOYING.Version: 1.6.6

This app is so old ...Its instructions are in Latin. Not really, but they might as well be. Barely functional, this app has not been updated in four years. Content fails to load, or stale content loads on most channels. It is free, so its limited functionality doesn't cheat you out of a purchase, but the frustration factor of this fossilized app may be more than you care to deal with..Version: 1.7.3

Needs more sourcesThe app works well and is mostly intuitive (minus locating how to access sources and preferences for the first time). What it’s really lacking is more sources. Much more sources!! There are so many broadcasts out there and you can’t add your own. You’re limited to what the app has listed which is actually a really weird mix of broadcasts..Version: 1.7.3

News appNot worth 99 cents! It is all just a radio feed with only a few channels. Save your money..Version: 1.4

Ok could be betterI flip back and forth with other audio apps. Needs to remember where I was at when I left and then come back to this app. Also the slider is not very usable, hard to grab the dot, can’t see where the time is. But good selection of news podcasts and good audio..Version: 1.7.3

Turns on without activationUsed this app for many years. When the feeds are updated in the background it sometimes triggers the news to start automatically. Very big bug if you’re in a professional setting and your devices start blaring hourly news updates..Version: 1.7.3

Annoying commercials. Now, the app will not play Fox News at all. eI’m OK with a few commercials every once in a while but the ads from “indeed “and “trip recruiter “have turned me away from this app. Those type of repetitive and high-pressure sales advertisement have a tendency to lower the professionalism of great news apps like this one..Version: 1.7.3

If a developer stops maintaining an app ...... then kick the app off the store. Or force it to go free. Anyway, I've been using this for a few years and it's crap at syncing over iCloud and when I'm on cell it frequently bails and switches to the next feed even when the coverage is near perfect..Version: 1.6.6

Clumsy at bestThis app lacks so many controls you’d want. No 15 second rewind or forward. It doesn’t remember which source you’re streaming from. So when you open the app it automatically goes back to the very first streaming source. Something designed by apple should have great functionality. It’s like a monkey jerking off with boxing gloves on..Version: 1.7.3

Changed - not for the good...I used to be able to hit play close my phone and put it my pocket, and now if I do that all audio shuts off so I have to literally leave my phone open and on for audio to happen. This is disappointing and unsafe for the security of my phone. This needs to be changed back..Version: 1.7.3
