User Reviews and Ratings
★★★☆☆Useful app, but: ‘updates’ that disable existing features, & spontaneous playback at awkward times.
A recent update to the app introduced a change that may disappoint longtime users. A key feature — adding custom news sources — now costs $1 per custom source you want to add. This feature had been free until the update.
Also, the app sometimes starts playing spontaneously in the background, e.g., during an important meeting or while you’re asleep. To prevent this, force-quit the app when you’re done using it.
★★★★★My morning "Go to" App.
I’m so glad this app exists! Have used it for over 5 years.
★★★★☆Sharing Tip
If you can’t play app with locked screen or from widget, delete app and reinstall…Great app, wish improvements on process to add other sources.
★★★☆☆A really annoying bug spontaneously starts playing the news at all hours of the day…
This has long been one of my favorite apps, but recently there is a bug that allows the app to spontaneously start playing. This is super annoying when I am in a client meeting and suddenly the news starts playing on my phone.. Please please please fix this bug. Thank you.
★★★★★This and the weather app are the only apps I use everyday
It’s been over 10 years since I found this app and began using it. I don’t have a single complaint. I use it every morning while I shower. I recommend it highly. More than worth the single dollar.
