If I could give it a zero I would. Once downloaded, it added four more apps for my phone that had nothing to do with newsbreak. It also changed we're all of my apps were on my phone and put them into folders where it was very difficult to find them. Then, it would not let me uninstall it in the normal manner. I had to use backdoor method to get it off my phone! Absolute worst app I have ever had

Thanks for the feedback – this was created to upgrade your OEM home screen and for easy access to content that you actually care about. You can access the content without setting it as your default home screen from the app’s toolbar. You can reset your home screen using the Default Apps settings in Android or the Support section in Home Settings.

I would give it a 0 if I could. Re works your whole device even though no permissions have been given to it. Changes your home and app screen. I had to Google how to uninstall as it directly allow you to uninstall from your phone. This takes advantage of anyone who doesn't know how to use tech properly. More like a virus then an app. Don't get.

Dishonest app. It took over my home screen and hijacked the Settings app on my phone, so that whenever I launch Settings, it would show "News Home Settings" instead of my phone's Settings. Took a while to find out how to uninstall this app (I had to uninstall it twice; the app was still lingering on my phone after the first uninstall attempt).
