Ratings and reviews

App works okay, but needs a feature to define what categories of "breaking news" you actually want to see. For instance, I really only got it to be notified of dangerous crime or police activity in the area. I'm not particularly interested in beauty pageant winners (my most recent notification) or anything like that.

The app is just really bad... very disorganized and sloppy. I get the push notifications and I once got one for a very serious news story and when I click to see it, I cant see it without watching an ad first. Which I feel is really disrespectful. Regular news stories, yeah sure. But things like shootings or other serious stories.... have some decency to not monetize it with an ad.. And then you've got the absolutely bogus sponsored clickbait "articles" thrown in...its just bad.

Nice to see that they've fixed the sundial-speed page rendering problem... speed is OK now. That having been said, maybe they could add code to remember where you were in the feed when you clicked on an article and return you there instead of back at the top of the feed. That would be a welcome enhancement/fix.
