Oct 15, 2021 By Dan SperdutoLove the reporting but stay away from their app. It totally took over my phone. I mean it changed the look of all other icons, replaced my clock, weather widgets, text app, etc. It doesn't even look like my phone screen anymore. I'm deleting the app and hope everything returns to my original look. Again... I support them but NOT their app. Terrible. I thank the developer for responding to explain what happened. Suggest making it clearer in the app to prepare people for what could happen if the wrong selection is made. I've modified my rating from a 1 to a 3. Love the news and info without the censorship. more -
Jul 21, 2022 By Elizabeth Braddockawesome that I get news when I need it and want it. it's kinda annoying that it interferes with my other apps though -
Jun 8, 2022 By Brent JatkoThere are a few racist people on this platform, but overall a good app for lost pets, garage sales, etc. -
Aug 15, 2021 By Rizzel ZappaSo I do see how people are getting frustrated but you should also read the description before downloading which yes I am guilty of all the time. But I actually do like this app. You can go in your phone settings to set your normal screen as the default. When this downloads it does set as your default home but all you have to do is change it back. If your getting too many notifications then you can go in the settings click news home app and click notifications and set how many times it notifiys. more -
Jul 30, 2022 By Krista ValenzuelaGreat up to date information. Awesome! -
Aug 31, 2021 By Ron RifI really appreciate being able to include or discard news sources. What I don't appreciate is that when I select a news story, it will be blocked if it does not reflect the current DC party line. That only serves to put the app into the mix with the rest of the party line news apps. Interestingly, right after I posted this I was able to access the same story. If that holds, I can up the review to 5 stars. more -
Oct 16, 2020 By Samantha DrakosYES the app uninstalls! (Settings -> Apps -> NewsHome -> Home -> Launcher) It'll default back to your phone's original config, THEN you uninstall. Personally I love the reconfiguration which is HARMLESS and NECESSARY for the apps intended functions. Endless categories/sources/outlets/topics to follow (bias&unbiased) and the ability to block them. Ads are unobtrusive. Great layout. Love the -1 screen for news and other new features to customize my phone. Way better than what my Pixel 2 came with! more -
Jul 7, 2021 By David FilecciaI was in my accuweather app looking at a severe weather alert when I noticed a rewind play and fast forward button at the bottom. I thought, COOL! I can listen to the forecast. So I opened it and had to install the news app and it changed and took over my entire phone! Everything was different. It was now my hone screen and everything. Very invasive! Horrible horrible app!. more -
Apr 14, 2020 By A Google userWife installed this on her phone and it messed up phone badly in many ways. In settings > apps, Uninstall was grayed out, so you couldn't get rid of it there!! Icon on phone was completely different than icon in play store, making it difficult to identify the right thing to uninstall in play store. Fortunately I found it in the play store among the countless other news apps, and was able to uninstall there. Immediately all the problems on the phone went away. more -
May 26, 2020 By David CDo not install this app because it will mess up your phone previous view and it will not let you uninstall from app manager. You have to come back to playstore to uninstall it which I didn't know and it takes me awhile to figure this out. This app is very annoying it changes your phone's home screen, it shows up every on your screen, it's very intrusive, and it slows down your phone. I would give it a 0 star if I have that option. more

Jul 21, 2022 By Jim KameesI could have rated this app higher if it ever lodedunfourtunatly that didn't happen I'm still waiting on this POS to load!!! And the developer's wonder why no one ever gets a higher rating from me????? -
Jun 12, 2022 By Gay HumphreyThe old news keeps dropping down on what I am doing. I want to delete the app Thank you. G -
Feb 24, 2022 By Gary PalmerDO NOT INSTALL!!! This app literally takes over your phone if you go with recommended permissions. It changes your home screen and slows down your phone. To uninstall you have to go to settings, apps, find News Home, remove permissions and turn off notifications. Last step to remove is to unset it as "default". It's so horrible I would consider it malware. more -
Jun 13, 2020 By Kayla RobertsI would give it a 0 if I could. Re works your whole device even though no permissions have been given to it. Changes your home and app screen. I had to Google how to uninstall as it directly allow you to uninstall from your phone. This takes advantage of anyone who doesn't know how to use tech properly. More like a virus then an app. Don't get. more -
Nov 15, 2021 By MikeI simply can't. I wanted to give this a try but it's far too invasive. I need an app that I can tap it's icon, and open it up. I don't want an app that overrides my entire phone, changes my entire user interface, my icons, removes my side scroll app to replace it with its own removing my Samsung tv and news features from the user interface Installing this app was like playing 52 card pickup with my phone. I could find no setting to return my phone to normal, so i had to delete the app. more -
Jan 7, 2021 By JENNIFER MARTINEZIf I could give it a zero I would. Once downloaded, it added four more apps for my phone that had nothing to do with newsbreak. It also changed we're all of my apps were on my phone and put them into folders where it was very difficult to find them. Then, it would not let me uninstall it in the normal manner. I had to use backdoor method to get it off my phone! Absolute worst app I have ever had more -
Dec 16, 2019 By A Google userTerrible app! It has screwed up everything on my phone, including giving me a weird new search bar, or at least this search bar showed up at the same time that this mess of an app appeared. I don't even know how I ended up with this on my phone. Gonna have to take my phone somewhere to get rid of this and all the changes it's made on my phone. more

What’s Groovy
I really need help on the settings on Google Play so I can get it Installed and Uninstall Apps. I really need lots of Updates and Late Breaking News Coast To Coast. I'm really going to look great and to avoid a lot of stress by doing Crossword Puzzle during my spare time. I really need Troubleshooting Steps to get it fixed right away. I want to look ahead and see if they need help on something. For example, I seen a lots of Play Store and choose the one that fits rather than going over. thanks.

What’s Subpar
Terrible!!! When Setup was completed, the ap took over the function and operation of the home screens; changed icons, rearranged icons, removed some icons and widgets. Extensive changes! I was alarmed by the behavior of this ap, and went to uninstall immediately - but I couldn't - the ap removed access to traditional "Settings". It took about 10 or 15 minutes, but I finally figured out another way in so I could uninstall. Once uninstalled, everything went back to normal. DON'T CHANGE MY PHONE!
