Reviews
Turns on without activation

Used this app for many years. When the feeds are updated in the background it sometimes triggers the news to start automatically. Very big bug if you’re in a professional setting and your devices start blaring hourly news updates.
Big Fan

This app is so customizable and comes with a good collection of news sources to draw news report audio from. And if you have a specific source you would like to add to your collection, you can! Albeit, for a buck but hey, it stays with the app once and for all! Thank you people who made this, you help me keep up to date with global matters and local matters in a fantastic format! I only review apps that I find nearly indispensable, this is one of them.
Nice implementation

This app is starting to fail with regularity... it used to be the best available in its category, but no longer. Time for a refresh? Please?

A great way to get key news bytes as I start my day. I especially like getting news stories from a variety of sources.
Ok
WTFnickmamedoyouwant
Does what I want it but a revision or something changed the time bar. I can’t move it to where I want it. It’s sketchy and will move but usually not without swiping to the another news podcast.
Stupid ad

Why is Foxnews still playing that stupid ad about an October 24th market change!!??
Randomly starts
flustered in church
I totally enjoy this app; makes it very easy to get updated information. HOWEVER, it goes off randomly while my phone is no active and/or in my purse. Basically I’m in church, in a meeting, in places where I am NOT at all on the phone or connected to it and it starts playing. Any ideas how to stop this from happening?
Great and easy
Otskdhhh
Love this—no bells or whistles just audio. Works like a charm and keeps me up to date with news (whether I like it or not). Buy it, you won’t be disappointed.
Simple, easy to use
