Ratings and reviews

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.]

The brief manner in which the news are put is really effective. However, some irrelevant news pieces keep popping up (more & more) even after dismissing such as 'not interested' Edit: News must be less subjective. If I want someone's opinions, I would rather be reading blogs. Of late, some of the pieces are coloured with (writer's) views. Also, for 1 out of 5 news piece, there's an error loading the news.

It is free! I have only had a short while, but it seems good so far. It is more than just a snippit headline packed with acronymns that few are familiar with. It gives enough detail but does not overwhelm reader with too much filler (because author gets paid by the word). I will keep watching for now. Thank you.
