Ratings and reviews

Really satisfied with how the news is presented. With the new feature, videos in the news play automatically, pausing any background music apps like spotify etc. However, once I swipe up for next news my media volume becomes zero and my paused music doesn't resume automatically (which is unusual for any app). Sometimes it really gets annoying. You should fix this issue. I will update my review and give better rating once the issue is fixed.

I have been using this News App since it was released. Gives good news and content is precise and to what the user wants to read. There are also links to the actual news content below. I like the information cards that appears in between while reading news. I usually share what comes in these cards during conversations with friends. I became an avid news reader after starting to use this app. However there are many improvements to be made such as providing the user with all news articles at once and giving him the choice about what he wants to read instead of swiping News cards and reading what appears. Sometimes the news links to websites that are not credible News sources. I recommend this app for everyone !

It is the best app in its class. Very concise news with links for additional reading. There's just one major issue where even though I remove some interests it still shows me that news(for eg I don't follow sports or Bollywood and have set it to red so that the app won't give me notifications. But it still does. Everytime. Unnecessary notifications clutter for things I'm not interested in reading.) If that function wasn't broken it would be amazing.
