HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (7.8 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Fun, addictive5%

13 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Enjoy reading GNN BC IT has things I don't ordinarily see, and it's a great break from doom scrolling
★★★★★ Although I have had this for a couple of years and enjoyed the great stories, it's become slow and unresponsive recently, probably because of the annoying pop up ads.

love it

this app is so great! love all the good news it provides! i’ve been having an issue with it recently (for the past few weeks or so). when i open the app, it tells me that the web browser is working fine but there’s a host error, so it doesn’t show me any news. i thought the whole app was like this for a long time, so i’ve been checking in regularly to see if it’s fixed, but it’s not. i sent an email to the app support provided, but never heard back. last night i tried clicking on one of the tabs, and voila! there’s news. so it’s just the initial page not working. if i click on the menu in the top left & then select ‘all news’, THEN i can see the latest and greatest stories. and all the other tabs work fine. would love this glitch fixed, but i’m so happy the whole app isn’t dysfunctional! i get to see good news again! 🥰🥰🥰

Too many Ads

The app is full of ads making the articles jump and impossible to read comfortably. Furthermore, there are popup ads randomly opening, sometimes like 5 one after another. I appreciate the good news, but this advertisement scheme is just way too bad.

★★★★★Mar 29, 2026
It won’t even run

It won’t even run for me now. I had the sub because of the awful ads but cancelled it because all I get when I open the app now is a blank screen.
