I only wish there were more options, and quicker updates. Otherwise, it is the best damn news app I've ever seen. Although, I really hate the new ticker. That's just annoying as hell, for anyone who has OCD and/or ADHD. And it just repeats the same things all the time anyway, distracting me from watching the video, and sometimes covering up running headlines at the bottom of the screen.

We're constantly adding new stations as we strike more partnerships. We'll keep working hard to get as much coverage as we can. Please give us your suggestions at feedback@haystack.tv.

This is a very good app, but they stated the premium version is commercial free. After signing up for the premium version, however; I was still getting as many commercials as before. I reached out several times with no response and out of total frustration, I finally cancelled the premium subscription. If you want a good news agitator and do not mind LOTS of commercials, use the free version.

Nice idea and execution. The app however forced me to reset my Google password after signing in from a new device. Huge inconvenience. Also, commercials play Much louder than the rest of the content, forcing you to stay by your volume controls. Would be nice if there was a premium subscription version available. I'd be willing to pay up $4.99/month for no ads. Work out the kinks and and address the ad issue and you legitimately have a 5-star app on your hands

Hi Gyasi. We'll be releasing a $4.99/month ad-free option. It's currently in Beta but you can try it out at haystack.tv/premium. Please let us know if it works or if you have issues. Thanks again for your feedback and support.
