What users say

Latest reviews, Germany Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Only two stars because the widget doesn't work - it just sits there, empty of any content apart from the word "Loading... ". This is on my Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

I deleted the app because it limits the number of articles you can view...even though I send them $5 a month. The app also interferes with viewing the website, where you can see all the articles you want.

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026

so now I have a app that when I tap on discover it crashes. expensive news and buggy app. thinking of cancelling the subscription as can't justify the expense for the product now . support limited. miss the previous owners

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026

Have you given up on the widget? If so please just let us all know. and still the widget doesn't work are you even paying your app team these days! why is it so difficult for you to have a functional widget? 🙄

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026

This is more of a pixel problem but the widget doesn't work for Android 17 and Google should be able to fix this and hasn't so please encourage them to make your widget work on pixel devices!

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
