Brilliant app! I've tried a few other gaming news apps and they were okay but I instantly deleted them when I found this. The best feature is, if you accidentally were to delete a notification before you read it, there is a "Notified" section within the app so that you can find it easily! Such a simple yet brilliant idea, nice job! Keep doing what you do. Love the new logo too.
The app has been great for a long while but recently, the news preferences feature has just been totally broken and doesn't work in any way. Alas, it was the main reason I used this app: being able to browse only the sites I want. EDIT- bug fixed within 24 hours, great customer interaction, awesome app!
It's a solid app that could go to the next level with a few tweaks. One of my suggestions that I already mentioned to the dev was, customisation to notifications. I would like to only see the platform preference I've selected appear in the notifications rather than everything, & the ability to filter out certain words.
Pretty good replacement for appy gamer, ads don't get in the way which is nice. I wish there was more customization then there is. As well as less hyperlink issues (within the app itself). You have to fully exit an article to read another, instead of just going back or closing the app. Other then that it's great though!
Articles are relevant to what I have picked but nearly all of them require additional loading which is frustrating. Could be a great app if it had the addition of an offline full article sync mode. However having to tap load more prompts a constant "We value your privacy" cookie pop up message for every single article which does not save your preferences has just become intolerable for me. Uninstalling now.
This was a great app for what I needed, unfortunately I had to uninstall because when I would tap an article to read an ad would pop up and prevent me from reading. So it seems like some articles are ads within itself. Don't understand why a developer would allow this. Update: went to the app after dev told me to check and the ads are so intrusive still. As you click on an article your immediately upon an ad, as you continue to scroll to read the article it is broken apart with ads. unistalled
It would be perfect if it wasn't for the lack of search options (if you want to gather past information or articles about an specific game, creator or topic, for example). the rest is perfect. I only use this app (before I used two or three because they wouldn't provide enough)
Annoying full screen ads (again!) That pop up in the middle of you reading an article. Hit back on your phone to close the ad and it closes the article. Go back into the article and scroll to get back to where you were and the same annoying ad pops up again. I forgot to update my review, was maybe 4 stars before this.
Dev team highly responsive and willing to develop and progress. Great tool for collating important game news across the web. Since using this app, considerably more on top of developments in the gaming world and the headlines are genuinely important - unlike other collation tools I've used previously. Will definitely be a long term user of this app. update: notifications still loading odd, with a white background to lines of text. minor cosmetic issue in an otherwise solid app.
Keeping up with random gaming news is great but always having to open a link and then hit the browser button to reopen the same link is bothersome. Should have option to open straight to the browser. Maybe have it open the app, then go to the browser so when you back out of article, it goes back to the app? That way you still get an ad or two in?
The app itself is great and has provided a much needed source of news. The biggest annoyance was the constant push notifications, I disabled these through the settings but I've since had push notifications for updates/changes. It would be good if it could honour your choices
Articles can now be enjoyed in-app instead of jumping to an external browser. Very nice. I noticed there's no option for adjusting UI text size in the app...I use the "Screen Zoom" feature of my Samsung phone to increase DPI scaling but it breaks the UI for this app. Can you add a manual adjustment?
Hands down best gaming news app I've tried out. Only slight pet peeve is after when you clink on a link within an article, pressing back after returns you to main screen (rather than the original article you were reading). But it's a small UI issue. Kudos to developer overall!
No widget is automatic loss of 2 stars. It would be amazing otherwise. A widget is what truly makes an RSS feed useful. Without it, it's easy to simply overlook checking the news. It's a real missed opportunity. I'm kind of disappointed.
Seems to be fixed. Thanks Devs. The full screen popup ads are back. They also are now "You have won a chance to win an iPhone" scams. The Devs previously did this and removed these ads twice before. I won't use this app anymore until these are removed. There are lots of other gaming news apps. I used to love this app, and used it everyday. The ads have become super obnoxious with full screen pop-ups and deceptive and innapropriate content. Please make an ad-free version for a decent price.
So far so good. Needs ability to zoom in on text. Would like a scroll bar visible so I know how long the article is. Ads are not intrusive which is good. Would like option to open links externally rather than in app.
overall, a decent replacement for the now defunct appygamer. It could do with some better topic-based filtering, but it gets regular updates and has all the basic functions you'd expect.
the app does what it says on the tin which is okay. there are 2 problems. 1) I can't seem to parse out things I don't care about well enough. 2) every single time I open the app it asks me for a review. every. single. time. dev, take note. that's not okay. it will never be okay. it's annoying.
Great for keeping up to date with gaming news, especially for someone like me who's on the go often and not always able to sit down and get all the news directly from the news sites, overall a great experience so far, I definitely reccomend using this app!
Handy, controllable notifications for news, I can edit which websites I see articles from (no more fluff or opinion pieces from awful sites like Polygan) and it's easy to share articles I find over Discord or text or whatever. Honestly, using an app with multiple sources like this one is a great way to stay updated on release dates, reviews and announcements. 5/5 have recommended to friends
I'm trying to look at upcoming game releases and it won't refresh for the upcoming months. Plus when I press the upcoming game (current month), it doesn't take me to the game page or anywhere showing more information on the game. Thus app needs a lot of work.
This app is great. Since the end of appygamer it took that, took away all the minus points and added plus new features this is how I want to have my gaming news, previews and reviews done quick and potent. I love 😍 it!!!!
Great app. I had to go to so many different apps to get gaming news, but this app has solved that issue. Keep working on it, looking forward for a paid version to get rid of ads
In my opinion, this is hands down one of, if not the best gaming news app on the market, (Paid or otherwise) and the devs just continue to work on improving it more and more. It's already everything I wanted, and they keep just adding more things to make this even better.
Awesome app. This gives me the gaming centric news that I enjoy in an easy to read format with great and easy options to share and favorite. Also, I love the dark theme.
An excellent app to receive news about anything gaming related. A feature to favourite the games that you're interested in for the "Release" tab so that you're notified when the game releases would be a useful addition to the app.
If an app is no longer functioning or supported REMOVE IT FROM THE STORE! I took the time to scroll through and read reviews of an app that I was never going to be able to use. Complete waste of time, so thanks for that!
Truly the best gaming news app I've ever downloaded. The UI is simple and clean, though I really look forward for an update where the user can adjust the UI, either from the font, the font size, or even the theme/colour, a grayscale would be cool too! On the other hand, I can read the news easily. I've also never had any problem with reading the news. Overall, it's a really good app 👍
