As the title states. I mean cmon, it’s owned by Verizon. Without going into detail if you follow this rabbit hole it eventually leads to followers of Satan. By why throw such a wet towel on a Monday right ? Here’s why I like the yahoo news thing. The stories are always meant to divide the Masses. The truth seekers vs the zombies. The comment section is the ONLY reason that this app is worth downloading. I enjoy calculating the % of the pop which is autistic and the pop who are like minded as myself. Thankfully, even in this left wing (over the cliff) news outlet I see 75% of ppl that are aware of the MSM BS. As for the 25% it’s the same as watching something like Jerry springer. It always makes you feel better about yourself when you know that their are ppl like make an avg intelligent person like me look like I’m Einstein

This used to be my go to news app for years. Not any longer. 1. Loud videos suddenly start. I’ve searched settings and cannot find a way to stop loud videos from jarringly startling me. I read late at night and in quiet places. I want control of the sound and Yahoo has wrestled that control away. Non negotiable. 2. They have changed the format to slow moving pictures with a few words underneath. Slow, uninformative, and a major waste of time. Uninformative. 3. The whole app has moved towards a stylistic look and away from a news feed. Glam over substance. If I wanted some stylistic slick app, I would download one. What a shame. 4. I want news. Just news. Articles with a headline and something to read, along with a simple photo or two. The news is no longer first and forefront on this app. What happened to this NEWS app? I deleted the app after the recent terrible changes. Waited a few weeks and decided to try again. Reloaded it just now. Second story I clicked on immediately had a loud. Loud. Loud. LOUD newscaster blabbering on. It was jarring and uninvited. It wasn’t labeled as a video, looked like a news story. Again checked settings, unable to mute the news videos Deleted the app again. Going back to other news feeds

About every other time I "Newsroom," they bug me to read and review the app. So, here goes: not much to say good or bad about the content itself as for the most part they are simply repeating "news" from other sources, a few reliable, most unreliable and biased like Huffington Post on the one hand, or FOXNews on the other. I use the app because it is generally handier than buying a newspaper; as with the newspaper, one must continually "read between the lines" in order to get a sense of what's going on out there minus the liberal or conservative bias. As far as their constant requests to rate and review, when the request appears it is impossible to respond to it without closing out of the app and going to the App Store. It is a veritable nuisance, so now that I have written a review I hope it won't happen again.

The major issue I have still comes down to disingenuously selecting people to write reviews. When the app asks if you “love it” (the app), if you select “no”, it loops you out to either an in-house “review” or leads you to a dead end broken link. It only leads you here if you select “yes”. As such, the review ratings are entirely meaningless. Their “4.2 Star” rating as of this review should likely be closer to 2.5 stars. UPDATE: Since I wrote the above review, they have made many changes, and not one falls in the “positive” category. You cannot read your own comment history, so you have to search out articles, then search through thousands of comments to have any sort of meaningful discourse. If I could give negative stars, I would do so. Previously, this was about the only news aggregator. Now, there are options, all of which are superior.
