HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (12 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.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026

I really enjoy this news company however to pay 14$ for news as a causal consumer is pointless.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026

this "news" paper allowed an op ed calling for political violence.

★★★★★Aug 20, 2026

an increasing percentage of stories cause a popup asking to pay for a subscription. getting less useful day by day. Will decide whether to skid this app....... decided to uninstall today

★★★★★Aug 6, 2026

The publisher obviously don't use this app and it shows. - Try reading articles in landscape mode. Scrolling is a disaster - intermittent and slow especially trying to get below an ad. If there is a video, it won't scroll at all. - Screen usage is often 80% ad and white space. Content is only a sentence or two. I was trying this app as the NP ePaper app was also very annoying. This is for a PAID subscriber - who is about to become an ex-subscriber.

★★★★★Jul 9, 2026

Always enjoy reading it in the morning

★★★★★Apr 3, 2026

Ads despite paying for it. please give an ad free option. The epaper app is so much better.
