I love the app, it's really unique the way it provides news from different countries and how you can usually find quality news. I gave it 4 stars because I don't like the new video feed feature. It's unnecessary and addictive, as any other Instagram reel-like feature, and it ruins the general experience of the app. Please remove it, it's a shame to see a product like this lose quality because it had to adapt to the current trend of doomscrolling

pretty good, but one essential feature not really working..... Dark mode! it only makes the main UI darker, but on every article you click, it's opening pages in full blinding white! yes, maybe that's the colour decided by the web designer, but, other browsers have managed to implement a "force dark". You could too! Would make your app much more comfortable, especially for night time reading

Disappointing that the sources contained, force you into a paid subscription when there are ads in to cover costs, just like you have ads in the printed page. News should be free & unbiased. Especially for people on very low incomes & on extremely tight budgets. I don't mind ads because of my circumstances but I refuse to be forced into spending money I don't have. Will be uninstalling this SMH ap.

Hi Heather, thank you for your feedback. We do not offer any paid subscription to our services. Squid app is free to use. However, a news source included in our Squid app could. You can block that source within one of their articles. Please let me know if you have any further issues. Kind regards from the SQUID team.
