Doesn't work
This app doesn't work, and appears to have been abandoned. I'm surprised it's still available for sale in the store.
United StatesDoes Not Work on my iMac
This app did Not Work on my iMac, and I have no way of getting a refund! Dont Buy this App!
United StatesDeleting after many years
I used to love this app. It had it's problems, some through no fault of the developer's own, but it still has other issues that clearly need a developer's attention. WSJ updates cut off after 1 minute, feeds that are no longer available still linger on the menu, and the interface is clunky. I used to be able to put up with it, now it's just annoying.
United StatesDO NOT DOWNLOAD_NO LONGER BEING DEVELOPED
This app is dormant, do not download. Very buggy and many sources are not accessible, with no way to customize or change the settings
United StatesNPR and BBC Don't Work
I bought this specifically for NPR and BBC and get a "file error 7 - unable to configure network read stream" message.
United StatesWaste of Money!
Only comes w/ a few news sources, and you CANNOT add custom sources! Waste!
United StatesAn update, in the knick of time!
There is not another app I use consistently everyday, but this one. I was incresingly concerned as my iPhone alerted me that the app would no longer work with future iOS versions, and it had not been updated prior for a very long time. Then, voila! An update! It works great and even fixed an issue where sources were cutting off before they were finished. This is a great, simple, and useful app.
