I am using the app on a Samsung S10 running Android. When I tap on the Markets icon at the bottom of the screen, select Stocks from the top menu, then tap on the S&P 500 index, the graph that shows will often show out of date data (either from earlier today or yesterday). The only way I have found to fix this is to 1) Close the App completely, 2) Go to Settings / Apps / Reuters / Storage and click on the Clear Cache icon at the bottom of the screen, 3) Re-launch the App and the data is now current.
This app is a disservice to the journalists and contents. Simple and well organized but buggy. Click on an article and it takes you to another. Multiple of the same annoying animated Ads take up half the screen and they are super distractive.
Solid app. Good user experience with extensive breadth of content that's a little more balanced and objective than the other major news sources. Reuters shines in their global content without sacrificing US news. App very lean on it's use of resources and battery. Decent number of ads, but doesn't detract from user experience. Would have given 5 stars if they allowed more customization of alerts and content by topic.
1 star for the constant crashing of the app. I have to manually clear cache and storage after clicking on two articles, then the app becomes unstable and crashes. The 2nd star for quality of the articles.
Something changed recently and I can no longer open any articles. I can see the headlines and navigate the sections, but individual articles cause the app to shut down. Pixel 4a, Android version 12.
Total disappointment for not being able to do the things you can do on the website. For example, you cannot add any news preferences, as you can do on the website and choose some categories of interest. Also, if I save an article in the reading list while on the website, it doesn't appear in the app too, although I'm logged in with the same account.
When I tap on an article, the app crashes. Before this problem started, there would frequently be an issue with article headlines linking to the wrong article. This app went from mediocre to unusable. It's a shame, because Reuters has some of the most unbiased reporting in the US.
New update is not stable, crashes constantly. Tried uninstall reinstall. Helped for a few hours and then back to crashing. On top of that clicking article in the widget goes to wrong article. Just frustrating to use. Bye.
Worked fine until around 4/15/22. Now I can't get the news feed to load. Been playing with my privacy firewall to get it to work and it won't load without my phone being completely vulnerable. I'd rather go without news than allow data collection. You can keep your parasites, I'll uninstall
Not good. Tons of articles simply won't load in the app, but going to their website in a browser loads that same article fine. Loads of ads. This feels like a poorly maintained app with the sole purpose of serving ads.
Invariably crashes when opened. Uninstalled, and reinstalled, and it still dies. Puts up a GDPR warning for a split second then crashes. Called manually, paints the screen furniture, then folds.
Good if you can put up with and advert between every sentance, I personally find it incredibly annoying having to scroll all the time. I'm on the cusp of uninstalling the app
It's now unusable trash. Constant messages about the news feed not being available and whenever it manages to load, trying to open any article crashes the app.
Something broke in the last update. Can pull up main section but can't view articles. My phone is rooted and has AdBlock so I'm assuming it's one of those items, until more reviews are out.
This used to be a good app and news source. I'm not sure what happened, 'the wire' showing news updates seems to have gone and some news stories I click on won't load. Pity because I valued the politically neutral news reporting.
Well designed, organized app makes getting the news a breeze. Great improvement since the version I used some 5 years ago. The dark mode option is easy on the eyes. Nice that the saved stories section is handily positioned and yet is not obnoxious. Above all, the font type they use now is attractive and draws one into their ever timely journalism.
App keeps crashing when I open an article or click on an article. Please fix. It's completely unacceptable that such a praised newsite doesn't have a working app.
Constant crashes when reading articles, I checked if there was an update available but nope. App is getting worse and worse by the day.
Nothing wrong with this application at all. People complaining about not having a night mode should explore the app before downrating. Go to profile and you can then turn on the night mode. I find the application easy to navigate and the layout is Easy to move around. Nice application
Latest update is HUGE disappointment! There are literally more ads and click-bait than news. What a shame from a company like Reuters. I guess the ad revenue became irresistible to them. Also their algorithm makes it VERY difficult to see news outside of your ordinary preferences; "siloing" prevails! One positive note is that their permissions are appropriate (if you don't count all the ad-trackers that are called)
App is okay but has some issues. -Despise giving Reuters app the rights to open links with the app, they won't open in the app -the search function is badly designed, e.g. if I input two words, it still parses just for the single words and doesn't prioritise the combination of the two words; also it seems to order results not according to release date, there are no filters for it either -a bug that occurs sometimes, you select a news but a different news article opens, restart necessary
Its as though this company made an app and couldn't be bothered to actually try it!! Ever since ive been using this countless news sections you click on dont actually take you to that section. This app is a joke its really annoying. Ill look for something alse fed up wasting my time with this app. They need to take a leaf out of RTs book especially the way it actually worked! and wasn't full of ads.
Finally had enough and removed for good. It simply crashes or content doesn't load and it's been doing it for months.
Since the last update useless keep crashing as soon as we try to open an article Update : I cleared cache and data no more crashes tip if you using pi-hole check your logs
I really like it, some site's push for a subscription, unfortunately I'm 100% below Federal Poverty Level I'm already 268- in checking so it's not in the card's but for the free version it's great!
Reuters stopped working. I had to search to find they had stopped supporting older Android versions.
The app often randomly restarts, sending me back to the start of the news feed when I'm half way through reading something
I used to be able to cast the videos to my TV using Chromecast on previous version of this app. That feature is no longer available. It's almost as if they are intentionally making this app worse. Used to be my favorite and only news source.
For the last week the app will open and display news items but when I click on them the app closes! I have cleared cache, reinstalled the app, rebooted the phone but this failure continues. I sent a not to "support" about this but received no response and see no change in operation. The AP news app works fine for people looking for alternatives.
