The general layout is nice, but there are a few shortcomings to this app. 1) I can't turn on news based on my location w/o turning on loc on my phone. zip and state options would be nice. 2) app keeps crashing - is it not backwards compatible for people with older phones? 3) accessibility is a problem. I need an option to turn off side swiping. I am constantly struggling to scroll straight enough to not open the adjacent article. 4) causes my VPN to crash, which I saw in another review as well!

There's no option to customize notifications - I only want headline or breaking news alerts. Unfortunately, the app doesn't let you choose specific types; it's all or nothing. I’m not interested in getting notifications about weekend activities or sunny-day suggestions. I wanted actual news. Going back to CNN.

We hear you! Stay tuned for the ability to turn off alerts by topic. We hope to have this feature out soon!

Simple. Not as left as CNN, yet not as far right as Fox. .... Thank you. Thank you. The widget is back! Nice, great, in fact, to get a preview of current news before you enter the app. .... SUGGESTIONS: A settings button for or within the app's widget would be a plus. 1. to control the font sizes beyond the device and app settings (for users with low vision). 2. to allow for a widget feature listing the latest headlines first, from the top.
