I don't like apps that you have to keep tapping the next button that you have to tap repeatedly, when you go to tap it jumps out of the way and accidently hits an add, then when tap back it goes to the very beginning and you have to go through all the ones you already have you're lucky. I'm not wasting my previous time trying to get some information and more likely than not the one and only part of the article that you want to see IS NOT THERE!!!! Dirty, dirty trick!!!!!! I give you 0 stars
Has some interesting articles but is put together off the wall. Some articles take forever to read by the time you skip from one place to another, keep having to press "next" after each paragraph and hope it doesn't "glitch" and send you back to the beginning of the article to start all over and that's if you are lucky enough to find that article again. Usually when it "glitches " I shut it off and go on to something else entirely.
I finally am uninstalling this app. Can't tell you the amount of times I click on a notification, interested in the story just to be brought to the homepage with the story nowhere in site. Even when I click on stories directly from the homepage to read, I can get maybe a paragraph in before it forces me back to the homepage for no reason. I've had to click on the same article multiple times to get through it. It would be a fine app if it actually worked.
I am really tired of hitting the share symbol multiple times while trying to read articles. Not all features are for all people. Fat thumbs is my problem and as a right hander the position of the share button is to big. It would be nice to have in smaller size. I would hate to pull the plug on this app. I'm getting very frustrated. Thank you.
Other than a few bugs I really love using this app. I love to comment on things and put my ideas out there. I really like that it shows news in my area and it shows articles on multiple sides of things. Definitely would recommend. I would also really like to be able to edit comments.
I have used your app for some years now , and have enjoyed it , to the number of ads and the way they are interjected at every point of the story anymore , I can no longer take it . I really love the local stories but ,ad cont,ad,cont,ad,the whole page,wait ,cont,ad ad, an then another ad ! I understand ads for a free site ! No problem with that ! but now it takes so long to even get though half of a story . The ads take up somuch space of th article ,so with regret time to find another source .
I get more local news and what's happening with this app than I do from local TV stations, who repeat everything for two to four days. The TV newscasters are the most unprofessional people I have ever seen. Our paper-thin newspaper isn't worth the money to print it. Keep up the great work NewsBreak!
My absolute favorite news app. I never miss anything thanks to News Break. Zero ads would make the experience perfect. Although, I haven't looked into a premium account option. Maybe that'll solve the issue.
Overall, a usable app. My main gripe is that for every article you click on, as you swipe down once or twice, you have to click on a "Read Full Story" link to display the rest of the article. Additionally, many articles require you to press an additional button ("Read More) to display the rest of the article. So for many news articles that you read, you have to click three times to read the entire article. This is frustrating when you read many articles, or like to browse/read quickly.
I hate that my screen won't stay on web view and switches to simple view which doesn't even work sometimes, or it switches right in the middle of something I'm reading and starts at the beginning. The comments section is tied to toxic social media, which I try to avoid.
I like the articles but when I see an headline that I would like to read, I tap on the head line then it bring me to Google App Playstore to open. When I press open I cant find the article I want to read!!!!! Annoying. I think people would be loving this app if several adjustments were made.
Love it. I get to pick local news and updates on 3 of the cities that I choose. I love how it has a variety of topics and I get all the latest on the subjects and topics of my interests, and arrange my preferences, local and international and its constantly keeping me in the know.
This app came with my phone, I'm going to unistall as soon as I find a replacement. I don't feel I get as much variety as I did with the news app that came with my old phone. What I dislike most is the comments. Users seem to be mostly die hard republicans and not the educated ones. All the hate and misinformation people are spewing makes me lose faith in our country - I can't take it anymore, so this app has got to go.
I receive a lot of news break articles sent directly to my cell phone which I appreciate especially when it comes to disasters or shootings things that are close to home? But also you should make a comparison to Smart news and compare the two apps and see which one seems to be a better Fit for Your Personal Style or the way you want to be notified? My brother's wife told me about this
Wildly inaccurate almost all the time. Leader in spreading falsified news articles. My fiancee and I noticed during the pandemic articles that where posted on the app tend to be way way off compared to the wide spread articles that are the same. Most times then not the article released is the exact opposite of the real article. For example a article that had a peaceful resolution in it, will end up having a more violent resolution on this app.
I enjoy News Break and the many up to the minute breaking stories. However some the human interest stories are far too and the reading text to get to the point takes far too long, I.e. Next, Next, Next! Too Long and out drawn.
I do not like this app. It caused numerous unwanted ads, made my phone run super slow, drained my battery and caused a lot of spam emails and phone calls. I don't recommend this app.
Started out good but now the option to block or see less of subjects or news sources doesn't work, I think it actually makes posts more of what you don't want to see, we all have news sources we don't care to read so it only makes sense if there's an option to not see certain publications or subjects it should work but it doesn't. (I'm tired of golf articles I DONT GOLF) And the repeat of the same news for days and days is lame.
Use to like this app. But lately trying to read a article is almost impossible. Either ads keep popping in or the article goes back to the start or disappears. Getting to the point it might be removed.
This is the absolute worst app in the history of the world 🤬🤬. You have to be a professional speed reader to read any report. If you don't read it that article in a speedy fashion, well the best of luck finding that article again. I will be deleting this app immediately.
The story I downloaded the app for was NOT found when searched in the app by the exact title. I even copied the title and paisted into the search field to be sure. Feels like bait and switch.
The randomly sourced content is great but impossible to share any links because it will freeze the whole phone up and you can't get out of it except for a power cycle when you click share and accidentally click messages (or or some other app that is not a messaging app).
I enjoy the app and I know ads are a needed evil in today's world but it's getting harder and harder to read the news without an ad covering the entire article without an obvious way to close, other than closing the entire app. If they fixed their goof I'd give them 5 ☆
Using the app frequently results with my cell phone freezing up. Also, I was hoping for unbiased news especially when it's concerning politics and/or Covid etc... I've already come across some articles that are biased in those particular areas. I'm definitely disappointed with that and may wind-up uninstalling the app soon
NewsBreak is the best place to get your news! They alert you when there is breaking news, you can pick what kind of news you want, they have it all! This is the BEST news app I have ever seen! You can set it up to your preference, you can turn the notifications on or off, and there is absolutely NO SPAM!!! I love it, there is nothing better!!❤️
This review is from 2020: Too many repeated stories. Too many stories about J-Lo.🙄 Mostly leftist articles. I only continue to have it on my phone until I find a better local news app. Which begs the question... What the heck does the city of Naples, Florida have to do with J-Lo??? Well... Here we are 2022: Tried it again... Not sure how... It's even worse than before. Ads! Ads!! Ads!!! Every few seconds!😱 Cripes! I thought seeing too many "Local" stories about J-Lo, was bad. Unistalling AGAIN
Unistalling this app. It use to be good. Now the game adds take over the article and won't let you close them. The continuously pop up after you close them. The only way to get them to close is to close the entire app and not get to read the story. So no need for the app anymore.
So I reinstalled recently because there was a story on Facebook that looked interesting but had to download the app to read. Well of course I couldn't find it after installing. So I went back to Facebook and found it and this time when I clicked on it , it did go straight to open the app but of course the story i originally wanted to read was nowhere. Guess it was just some b.s clickbait story.
So, in general I love the aggregation of news from all over. What I HATE is that sometimes when I open an article the small banner ad at the top expands and takes up ~80% of the screen. I get ads, but that's untenable. So, I exit out of the article, and go back in. Sometimes it take 20 tries to just be able to read the article. Beyond frustrating...
