Ratings and reviews

Honestly I don't prefer reading news. I thought this would be yet another gimmicy news letter apps. But using it for just a couple of days, I am liking it! Thanks to the devs for making a great minimal UI experience. The news gets tailor made to be bite sized. But, it also cites the actual websites. Great work! Though the app supports regional news, but the news is mostly from around the world. Also, there lies a scarcity of news. I hope the dev fix the issue! 4⭐s for now!

Okay this app is actually genius. Instead of reading 5 different articles to understand what's going on, you get everything in these threads with different angles. Way faster. Also I emailed them about adding news from my country and the founder replied in hours. Not some copy-paste response. They even said they're adding my stuff this week because I asked. Who does that?? Yeah it's new but honestly? Already better than the big apps. 5 stars.

Really like this app! Whenever I read the news through the mainstream news apps, I often find myself struggling to keep atop the different perspectives, esp for complex issues. The format of the commuter allows me to look at a piece of news through different lenses and on top of it all, I really enjoy the fun facts/trivia! Highly recommend that everyone downloads this app
