Not bad, fair search results

Note: Knewz is made by News Corp (according to a Verge article) the idea is Ai and human curation. I searched ‘Donald Trump’ and the news sources provided in search results seemed fairly unbiased.
Great way to open up to more varied coverage

Wide variety of media outlets means I get a sense for the variety of view points on the issues of the day. Neat!
Content seems kind of tabloidy

I like the concept in theory, but the content seems questionable to me. “ PORN STAR HIRED HITMAN” is front page news?
Give it a chance

I was critical of the Knewz UI before I actually used it. The mobile experience is great and it feels like you get a balanced perspective. Some of my major criticisms over clutteredness News Corp appears to have seriously improved. My only request now would be the addition of a dark mode!
Annoying

It doesn’t identify which sites are subscription only. I end up clicking on story after story, and half of them I can’t read more than two paragraphs. Also too may pop ups. The reason I want an app like this is to read news while NOT subscribing to a bunch of sites. I’m tired of Apple News, but at least I know what is “premium” content. I’m deleting this app
Unless you subscribe to everything....

80% of the articles it was linking to were blocked unless you had a WSJ etc subscription. Why are you linking to content I can’t read. Also the headlines took several days to change out and the news was extremely limited.
Works but has too many annoying pop ups

Not much to say other than I like the content very much, but too many pop ups. Lots of repeated unwanted video pop ups that I have to shut down numerous times on my iPhone to simply read an article. Too many times. Deleted and now using the web page instead.
