About this app

What if every phone unlock made your day just a little better? Imagine unlocking in the morning, and the weather is already there.

Imagine unlocking while you’re waiting in line or at work, and there’s already a beautiful photo gallery waiting to help you relax and escape the grind. Or maybe, for you, it’ll be local events that’ll make you look forward to your downtime, or just the top headlines in news, sports or entertainment to stay informed.

We call them “smart” phones; shouldn’t we expect more from them? Get more from those little moments in between, when you unlock your phone.

App is behaving like malware, couldn't even find out the name of the app to uninstall it or what it even was. Opened on its own multiple times. It's mostly just ads with a couple of news articles in between. Total garbage. Digital tribune at the very bottom was the only clue to what it was. Cannot completely uninstall by normal means either. If I could give negative stars I would.

I have zero interest in this app but it kept being put back on my phone update after update. Now you can't delete it at all. I was able to pause it long term for a while but this last update won't stop popping up. It will let you mute it for the day but will keep popping up that you've got an app muted. It's highly inconvenient and a waste of time and energy.

This app is very annoying, it opens and runs without being interacted with, pushes through being "paused" to still open when the phone is unlocked. It would be really nice if I could remove the app or be able to "force stop" without causing problems with other apps and or phone in general. News is biased and takes away from proper journalist, not to mention the fact that I've never once personally opened the app wanting to look at news, it's always just an inconvenience.
