News360: Personalized News

I’ve been using this app for years after having several disappointing experiences with the Apple news app, and once I switched I never checked Apple news again. This news app has a rich variety of sources, and most importantly, there is no selective bias about which viewpoints are included. If you like a full spectrum of opinions like I do, you can do that, easily. You pick your own publications and virtually every free (as well as free articles from the well known subscriptions like NYT) online publication has come up in search. You’d be surprised how many free publications there are, a lot of them really good. Reading the news is one of my chief interests and diversions and I thank the developers of this app for giving me an huge selection of information, opinions, and just interesting reading. *Oh and I’ve never experienced any bugs with the app. Crazy, right?

I have a collection of screenshots — which I've never bothered to collect from any other news app —from back when the app had the option of a single article per screen Now, it no longer has that option, and much worse, when I click on "top stories" I see the same stories for a few days in a row, refreshing does nothing. it's pathetic. Why can't you people learn from history and leave a thing alone when it's great instead of feeling a need to tweak it until it turns to garbage. I'm about to delete this useless app, after recommending it to everyone I knew a couple years ago. you had slick, witty cover photos, it was *your thing*. why.

Pros: It’s got many good and interesting news stories. Content is varied and there’s plenty from which to select. Cons: really only one big one. Virtually all the stories presume you’re a millennial. When I select the “career” category every story that comes through presumes I’m early in my career and looking to get ahead. Every article the “investing” category produces presumes I’m early on in my financial planning journey. All “relationship” articles are only really relevant for people under 35. Even articles not specifically directed at millennials are nevertheless written in a millennial vernacular, using broad references, slang, and that almost casual, conversational reporting one expects from a blog or a BuzzFeed survey. I may be closer to 60 than 30, but reading news articles full of outdated advice (for anyone over 40, anyway) and pop culture references begins to get tiresome. As a result I seldom access the app anymore, only browsing when I’m bored.

Been using News 360 for awhile because I enjoyed being able to customize my feed. looked at it this afternoon however and 2 news stories out of the first 10 I saw showed full frontal nudity of a female and some that talked about porn. no where in my settings did I put I wanted to see anything related to that at all so why the heck are you showing me these things? Why are these articles even being shown period on what’s supposed to be a ‘News Source’. When I gave the thumbs down icon and you ask for a reason there isn’t even an option for nudity or porn, instead you ask if it has to do with beauty, London (what the heck!?!?), Leeds (no clue what that is), celebrities or body customization. Instead of using algorithms to source your content you better start using real people because obviously things are falling through the cracks. This app is promptly getting deleted.

This app contains a wide variety of news. However it does not always stick to its subject, for instance, it may have the subject of pandas, but instead of talking about pandas it might talk about cars. It also could use a lot more pictures to make it more enjoyable as an entertaining app. I have found that it does not cover any of its subjects very thoroughly. Also, when you dislike something, it often doesn't give the topics that news quip is about, so there often is nothing you can "dislike". Plus even when you've disliked something, it doesn't remove other quips in the same subject. I especially do not like sports but they keep putting them in there because the names of sports teams are usually animals, like the Philadelphia eagles. I am interested in Eagles but not in sports teams. But the app will not listen to me. I’ve gotten pretty disgusted with it.
