Like button is disappeared but dislike button we can see.. probably this is a bug. Make app more smooth. It's take too much time to open. We want to see *how many views* held on in a video. How many likes ! 🔴 Pull down a video 👉 whole video is removed. This is very bad. We did not see the video in small window . so please add this feature. Remove take down means video remove feature. And give take down to do a small window.✌️
This app no longer works. It tells me It can't load my feed and says no internet connection. I tried all the fixes and even reinstalled but, it still doesn't work.
Ok, I get it, set "country" to Russia. Can you please put the Yandex translator builtin to Zen then. Everyone is happy. Now I have a working feed but it's in Russian and not helpful.
This app is unusable please fix this horrible app I've tried deleting it and reinstalling it a few times but it still says no internet connection despite being connected to the internet please fix this now
Overall good app for news. What I didn't like on it is that it shows (2 weeks, 1-2-3 months) old news
I've been using Zen (Yandex.Zen) for years and have loved every moment of it. The redesign looks nice, although the screenshots from the Play Store page doesn't match the app itself or the features, for example: I don't see an option to post an article, adding liked sources or suggestions isn't as simple as a button at the top of your screen, can't subscribe or follow a source to receive notifications etc. Overall great app but no huge difference to others and not much improvement over the years
More customisable than other news aggregate sites, I've used and enjoyed Zen for ages, mostly using the widget, but with this latest update the widget has disappeared. Why? Edit: 15/3/22 - Now the feed won't load making it competely useless.
Reports no internet connection (???) and then 'cannot load feed'
Thank you dear Developer for the response. Pls, I would really love it if the widget can be brought back. It helps to keep up-to-date with my choice feeds...
doesn't work, even with a vpn that's connected to the region Russia
Looks great but the filters don't allow you to filter out celebrity and sports content. The timeline itself has a high proportion of sports content. Also getting reports of *could not load feed" when manually updating. Looks like I may have to uninstall it. Such a pity.
Keep showing "no connection"! Deleted... Bye 👋
Nice try. But, unless it offers a way to weed out specific topics and all those clickbait and yellow press resources from the start, it takes too much time to make the newsfeed useful. Something for people liking to play around, pressing like buttons, seeking entertainment, not so much for someone actually interested in building a personalized, high quality news feed.
On pc - ok , on mobile coad not load feed . Android 11.
I enjoy using it. It's a handsome app. The only criticism is that the notifications are accompanied by sounds. I tried turning the sound off but it seems to be turned on by itself. I would like to get notifications but only silent ones. Thanks
I was there when the app had just 10000 downloads. Now its just promoted content. I can feel the difference while surfing. Waited 5 months before thinking of writing a review. The content is now filled with filmy gossips and tech reviews even though I keep blocking them. Every day another one pops up with same content but different feeder.
To Google : What is your problem? Why did you delete my comment & rating for Yandex Zen? This is the 2nd time already. You have superiority complex or something?
Good app, but source is closed.
I love Zen! I can get the topical I need, unsubcribe to news agencies I don't like and read news and ideas!
Unfortunately, this app couldn't be used as I am in the UK. No translation. No local information, very poor app. Needs a lot of work.
This is the news providing app I've ever used in my life. The coolest thing is that this app provides you local news from the newspapers of your country. You can choose from languages available in your country for news. I found it so relevant. I love this app.
Nice place to share ideas!
Despite all the negative reviews, I figured I'd give it a try. "Could not load feed" If your app doesn't work in Android 9, please just say so. Don't waste my time or that of others by telling us to add comments on your website. This app may work for you, but it wouldn't work for me -- and based on the number of negative reviews and lack of helpful responses, I guess Yandex doesn't really care.
Finally lost patience. The hated "something went wrong" when I try to view my liked sources. Stick to using a browser with a shortcut. Also, without a dark mode, forget it anyway.
An excellent app by means of which one improves knowledge and expands horizons. Thank you devs for such a great work where all the useful articles are gathered together and special thanks for the high intellectual recommendation feed.
It is not my personal stories. I can' t see my own page. Language is English, i want Russian and can't find how to change. Very bad experience. I don't need this content.
Great app. The only option which I would add is a some sort of zooming of pictures in articles.
There is no dark theme, the notification curtain does not disappear when watching videos, videos cannot be viewed in a mini-window in the application, there is also no support for pictures in pictures, the interface is far from the most convenient, something slows everything down and in general this platform is not created for watching videos, it is impossible to stretch the video to full screen, even support 4K no. The user is problematic to put it mildly.
