It's a brilliant app, have been addicted to it!! I have got my kids to start using it since past 6 months (they are both 10yrs of age) and it has helped their GK a lot. However their recent complaint is that there is a lot of negative news. If you could have an age filtering option then especially the kids can get more of current, relevant and positive news instead of every other news crossing their eyes of rape, murder, death, etc. Time for an update? Feedback link in the app doesn't work.

I've used Inshorts for a long time to get my news quickly. But over the last few months, I'm seeing news from topics that I've specifically marked as "not interested." It's super frustrating. I emailed the Inshorts team to fix this, but I've gotten no response. I even reinstalled the app, but it didn't help. If you want a reliable news app that respects your preferences, look elsewhere. [Update: If this issue gets resolved, I will change my rating.]

Really satisfied with how the news is presented. With the new feature, videos in the news play automatically, pausing any background music apps like spotify etc. However, once I swipe up for next news my media volume becomes zero and my paused music doesn't resume automatically (which is unusual for any app). Sometimes it really gets annoying. You should fix this issue. I will update my review and give better rating once the issue is fixed.
