I am still navigating the app for my iPad, I have the app on my iPhone but still getting used to iPad app. VP
This app just keeps asking me for money before did even let me look at it waste of time
I read stories everyday without fail. Always interesting..always informative. Generally positive and not leaning in one specific level of opinion. I would rather get my info on SmartNews and e d my day with a smile..?
My local news often gets Montgomery County PA articles instead of just my local Montgomery County MD. Funny since I only entered zip code to register, but apparently news for the news department: there is more than 1 Montgomery in the USA
You can select to not receive news from left wing news sources but not right wing sources. If you want biased fact based news then this is not your source.
SmartNews has added a new feature, “ Recommended based on what you just read”, that is so completely annoying I couldn't even complete reading the news today. Make it go away, please.
When I began using Smart News it was great. Snappy loading, refresh etc. Of late however, the app continually freezes completely, or simply takes crazy amounts of time to load a selected story. Even when loaded, the screen halts, shudders and scrolls poorly. Not sure what happened, but it’s a pita.
I click a Facebook link with headline showing local news I wish to read about. Link says to “read more on Smart News”. Clicking link goes nowhere except SmartNews home page, NOTHING about Hubbard County Local News and a search on the sight gives ZERO results. WORTHLESS and I will be deleting app momentarily.
