Very impressive and like the update of the latest news.
this used to be a very good app. but because of greed has a lot of very annoying ads. just now an ad as soon as app is opened with loud annoying music - even though the sound on my phone was off. closed the app and the music continued. had to reboot phone to get music to stop. I've had this app installed for several years, deleting it now.
I've enjoyed this app for years. But--in addition to banner ads with every article, the full page apps pop that up after every four or five stories are getting more and more obnoxious. Some of these can't be dimissed for 10-15 seconds, effectively seizing control of my phone for that time. F--- that. I understand the need to advertize to support free apps, but it's still my phone. Uninstalled.
ADS ADS ADS . . . AND WHAT'S MORE at least half of the news sites that makes up the app, after clicking on the story, you then need to click again to go to the original news site to read the story AND there's a limit of 4 or 5 stories per month without subscribing to each site. I thought I was putting up with the ads (and there are quite a few) in lieu of subscribing. UNINSTALLING THIS PUPPY.
Fast News is a preloaded app on my Samsung phone & it's fine for a - DUH - a quick perusal. Today, however, I'm suddenly getting "Oops, we can't find that link" messages . . . and just started. At least 4 times! The msgs say something about algorithms. This is very irritating - especially since I cannot be causing it. What's going on, Fast News?
Suddenly Google takes over my reader when I exit an article and shows a full page add from which I can not exit. I must quit the app and restart it. It is very annoying. I used to love the app but am growing tired of all the google adds. I understand that adds are necessary but resent ones that can not be shut off.
crazy amount of ads, a tiny x to close them and now ads with a timer to close it!! developer replied problem solved... lol *I hoped recent update would address issue. Now there's ads on the main page and after closing article. Option of when to get the ad is removed. Ads may be necessary but this is ridiculous.
Good but would like to be able to add custom site via rss feed or something. Update July 13th, 2020. I'm sorry but I have to reduce this app back down to a one-star rating as I'm so sick of the ads. I was okay with them when I could just close out of them right away knowing that app developers need to have an income from somewhere, but now there is a delay that counts down before I can dismiss the ad and I can get news from other sources to avoid that annoyance.
im in uk and for some strange reson im getting news from the usa! how strange? and they also no way to change to uk in settings only the papers but as they all us news sort of defeats the point. UPDATE fixed after finding the feed reset and works fine now thanks guys :-)
I love just reading down one column. I don't tire as easily and choosing is easier. Nobody needs more stress after what we read these days. Nice🤗neat job, thank you!
It is good but Gujarati news missing. Please add them. It can be better if users can add website of their choice. Deccan chronicle section is not getting updated since month. Also, in news dont get updated quickly. E. G. Some section of website keep showing news that was posted/updated one or two hours before.
used to be great news app.....pop ups, ads, crashing, and trying to make me subscribe to read news.....all lead to me deleting the app for good. save yourself some time and dismiss this horrible crashing app
The ads... ugh... there are ways to display ads that aren't so obtrusive. I'll try again in a month or so. Maybe the number of uninstalls will provoke a change.
Liked the app for years but lately many articles will not show. No response to my email to developer team.
contacted them about an issue with ads preventing any reading. the next day random music starts playing making me force close the app. I've used this app for 5+ years. No more
latest update to improve stability actually degraded stability to the point where it freezes upon EVERY useage, making the app unuseable. sorry, have to delete it.
TTS (Text To Speech) integrated websites are missed here!! please add and mention some tts integrated websites. There is just one yet (RTBF) in your current Version!! Thanks a lot for your Great App!! I enjoy using it 👌
Fast News currently feels like a good fit. Have tried lesser news apps, but keep returning. On its day, an absolutely brilliant app. Just try it....won't hurt!!
I enjoy the app but the pop up ads take longer to load than a sloth doing anything. I usually back out and reload... BUT, aside from that its great and I use the app daily.
CNN is full of advertising and seldom much real news of the day. More was expected of CNN. Otherwise a fairly good update of daily news. Many repeat stories.
Thanks for the reply. Apologies that I completely missed seeing that functionality in the settings. I have very happily reinstalled the app and set my preferred mix of US/UK news sources
Getting more and more ads from this app. Even ads with timers like you can get in a free to play game. This is crazy.. It's just a News app, how much money do you need to run it?
I like the convenience of being able to scan headlines from multiple news sources very quickly and easily access the ones of interest.
Best news feed. No unnecessary registration or email sign up. Alot of news feeds to select or deselect. Direct and to the point. No fluff!
Poor showing by forcing ads with count down timers or having to click a tiny X. Been using this app for years on many devices.
This is absolutely great.. This is the best of the best. I think everyone should have this application in his/her phones. The only problem with this app is that, it doesn't notify you when you are off the app.
Its great news app getting all popular news channels but it's always pointing some links that won't open in pages where it says continue reading I'll end up looking for an article in Google if a specific app refuse to open I wish to learn more about
