Latest reviews, Germany Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

does not recognize its own otp to verify cell I pay yet it does not allow access and asks me to subscribe.. really bad...

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026

App is very slow in loading. Used to be much quicker before having to subscribe to the app. Ads take long to load which makes reading difficult, and is very frustrating. On doing what was recommended, the slow response still persists. It takes at least 22 seconds for the articles to load.

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026

Unutterably slow app. I find myself using other news apps instead. Was surprised to get a developer's comment within 24 hours of my review to say the speed problem had been sorted out. Generally that's a big issue to correct. After reloading, there is no difference. Clearly the developers don't take reviews seriously.

★★★★★Sep 18, 2026

good news but app takes long to load

★★★★★Sep 8, 2026

excellent

★★★★★Sep 3, 2026

Don't bother. Just reeks of greed. Typical. It's just all about money. some things you have to subscribe to read. Money. Now the entire life section is grey and not loading. Let me guess... it will load if one subscribes.... Money. Greed. Again typical.
