HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (15 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.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Too many ads55%

33 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The app was very nice until all the upfront ads.
★★★★★ opened the app and in less then 30 seconds i got 4 (FOUR) full screen ads, i didnt even get the chance to click an article !
★★★★★ Absolutely intrusive bizarre irrelevant commercial interruptions.
Crashes and freezes10%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The only option is to force close the app and start over, hoping to find the same article again, and hoping that the offending ad does not reappear.
★★★★★ But when I try to change my profile picture, the app crashes every single time.
★★★★★ The latest instance of this feed is very unstable with iOS14 versions. If you leave the app, to say share an article, and return, it starts from square one... I.e., doesn't return to the article the user was reading.
Lost data, sync, backup10%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ opened the app and in less then 30 seconds i got 4 (FOUR) full screen ads, i didnt even get the chance to click an article ! this app must have been different at some point because it's unusable in its current state… 0/5
★★★★★ They need to fix that defect, or I'm gone.
★★★★★ The notifications are deleted if the user goes inside the app and tap notifications.
Wrong or poor results10%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ There is too much fake news.
★★★★★ Could someone let me know if it is a shared problem or if I am doing something wrong.
★★★★★ Also like others have said in reviews there's a lot of bots or fake accounts that immediately flag ANY science news about climate as Fluff!
Bugs, things not working8%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I fail to see how endless game ads do anything positive.
★★★★★ Update: the developers not only failed to fix this issue, it appears they have made it worse.
★★★★★ Every time I open the app in spams ads consecutively to the point where reading an article is impossible.
Missing features7%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ While I might accept that occasionally, the worst part is there often is no way to close the ad to continue reading.
★★★★★ now when i open it (ipad pro 11, latest os), i get an ad that covers the screen and has no way to dismiss it to read news.
★★★★★ There was no way to get past the rating screen.
Worse after an update5%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Update: the developers not only failed to fix this issue, it appears they have made it worse.
★★★★★ I just watched one ad that ended with an "App Update" notice that looked almost identical to an iOS dialog and I nearly clicked it.
★★★★★ Notifications has a red circle with a 1 in it that looks similar to an apple update, that needs to stop.
Price and subscription3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Used to like this app. Plan on spending way too much time waiting for the annoying game apps to end before you see anything.
★★★★★ I understand why apps need to issue ads to people who don't pay a monthly subscription but for a science news app, they shove a disgusting amount of ads down your throat.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Please bring the old layout back! 3★, Apr 8, 2026
  • I understand developers need ads to cover costs, but at this level it makes it feel like the app is just using science info crawled from other sources to get some ad revenue. 2★, Feb 4, 2023
  • I also think it should add a rating called “interesting”. 4★, Sep 1, 2022
  • When I need a break from all the idiocy going on in the world this is where I go.. 3★, Jun 15, 2022
  • Presumably, this App should have the ability either to prevent the poster (whomever is doing this) from posting, or automatically could rapidly expunge such abberant or mischievious posts. 1★, Mar 31, 2022
  • I wish there was a little more text on the main news feed articles before clicking on the link that redirects to articles 5★, Nov 1, 2020
  • It would be nice to allow zooming in, as this is useful for screen mirroring to a TV. 4★, Sep 10, 2020
  • I haven't fully checked yet but data control within app and in-app browser would be nice too. 5★, Feb 27, 2020

★★★★★Apr 8, 2026
Horrible new layout

The new layout is awful. The app was fantastic, 5 stars. Now it’s not even worth using. Please bring the old layout back!

★★★★★Dec 24, 2025
Nice content, but the ads are extremely intrusive!

Nice eclectic mix of subjects. Ads are intrusive and will not allow you to return to the article. Had to delete the app. Very annoying.

★★★★★Dec 8, 2025
They’ve ruined the UI

They have totally altered the UI. Instead of being able to scroll through articles with complete headlines, they flash them by you with a truncated headline for a couple of seconds. If I wanted prime video, I’d go to their app. I have this app to *read* articles, not have images flashed at me. It’s just goofy. As soon I find another one to replace it, I’ll delete this silly thing.

★★★★★Nov 17, 2025
Share

Since the new app, I can not share by mail the articles. Can you fix this….? The app is very good

★★★★★Jun 7, 2025
Ad App with news on it

The app, regardless of what you click, will present an ad to you every 10-30 seconds. The type that require you to wait 5 seconds and make three clicks to remove. Unusable app

★★★★★May 2, 2025
Too many ads

I gave a review about too many ads and the developer responded to me that they were working to better balance ads I will give them another try
