Ratings and reviews

There is a lot to love about this news aggregator and it's features. It's design is fluid, stunning, and smart in how it sums up details from multiple sources . It factors in the bias of sources and does an excellent job of making that info available to the reader. The flaw however is in reliability not every article is reliable. There should be some way to weigh that. I'd love if the AI only pulled from reliable sources on the left and right and separated out others of mixed reliability.

Search function simply doesn't work about 80% of the time. The rest of the time it's so slow that it's not worth using. Also, you cannot disable US news! Why on earth is this a locked feature? I hear enough about US news against my will already as the internet is plastered with it, and I can't even de-select it on a supposedly "customisable" news feed app. Seriously, for non-Americans this app is pretty worthless.

Great idea, plagued by poor execution. The basic idea of Particle is tuning your preferences to only see the news topics that interest you. However, you can't say, one time, "Don't show me any world cup news". No, you have to go to nearly a dozen different sub menus in tune each one individually. And the final straw for me was when i found out that if you get a new phone you have to redo all of your content preferences from scratch. Uninstalled.
