Reviews

Optimize the design for iPhone and add download function
R0ckPanda

I love your app but al the button seems big on 8+. I guess the design is for smaller screen.Please optimize it. And I remember it had download function before. Please add it back. The network streaming costs a lot. You could add this as a plus service.


iPhone X support

When this app has iPhone X support I will change my rating

So good for PR majors.
Anniejayocm

So good for PR majors. I love how I get a snapshot of everything happening in categories most relevant to me. The audio option is great also, and allows for easy multitasking. Very happy with this app.


Need a search option
danimal1948

I get a daily email with stories to listen to when I click on it and open the app I cannot find the story. Needs to be a search function in the app


Great app, it keeps getting better...

This is how News should be
Sriram V

I am glad to have stumbled on this app. This is how news should be. There are definitely areas of improvement - ex. You don't need to give me the author & source name all the time, etc.


Must have!!!!
sevillita82

I used this application a lot. Specially in the mornings, I listened to the news as I get ready to start my day. You can chose what stations you would like to listen and what type of news you are interested in. Give it a try.


Great for staying informed
Expat in S. America

I really have very few apps, but this one I use a lot! Super helpful to keep up with what's going on in the world; like pandora for news--I wonder why the idea hasn't caught on more!
