May 30, 2020 By Michael MillerNot perfect but pretty good. It's not the most versatile app, but it works fine. I like that there are few "opinion" articles and most of the articles come from credible news organizations. My only complaint is that the app resets after I leave an article and I have to start over from the top and try to find my place... Every time! Which means eventually I give up and go to a different app. more -
What happened
Jun 10, 2022 By susannwncI’ve had Yahoo News for several years, recently I’ve had trouble. If there is a link on Google news for a story from Yahoo, I keep getting the same story over and over again about wild horses???? I went directly to the Yahoo news app I have on my iPad and unfortunately the same thing happens. As of today, I have deleted the app and have now reinstalled it. Crossing my fingers! Maybe I’ll be able to do an update on this review. more -
Jul 9, 2020 By Callie Callie J.There are plenty of news sources within this app and it is updated. Good. It is also a clean design. The bad part is notifications and navigation are poorly designed. When I get a notification about a vote or reply on my comment, I clicking on the notification does not bring me to my comment. I also can't navigate to my profile's reactions/activity section without clicking and searching around several times in order to find it. Annoying. Also to Trump-heads: Shut up. The news is not "biased". more -
Variety and less biased
Jan 21, 2020 By joeshazamYahoo offers a much broader look at the news with many articles about human interests and not just political views about every aspect of life. Yahoo news is more enlightening and less anger. I like the news Yahoo offers. It is one of approximately 15 news feeds so I am able to see many viewpoints of what is happening in United States , from around the World. more -
Dec 8, 2019 By A Google userI like Yahoo news EXCEPT for the notifications I receive that contain the movie camera icon as the initial character. The background music is distracting and overwhelming even when one's volume setting is low to medium. The information passes too quickly as well and I'm NOT a slow reader. Actually when I see the camera icon on the notification. I now delete and choose CNN, HuffPost, WAPO, NYT, or other sites. more -
Jun 13, 2019 By A Google userThis is a pretty great app. The knock I have is the main board sometimes contains clickbait/sensationistic article thumbnails. But the other content is presented fine, and is usually pretty relevant to the type of news I want to see. There are some ads, but they aren't too distracting/disruptive. Keep up the good work and please keep this app from becoming bogged down with stuff I dont want to see. Great Job! more -
Jun 9, 2020 By Marjorie L BennettIt's a great news app primarily. Biggest problem is when it keeps cutting out. Be nice if that didn't happen or happened a lot less. I am watching using Samsung S4 tablet with 64G and I believe 4G memory, 10 inch in size. There is so repetition of articles, just written by different people in different words. For what it is and free though, I can't complain much. It just keeps asking me to rate it. That's annoying over time. more -
Mar 31, 2020 By A Google userThe app is mostly functional. However, reading comments or replies from previous posts is difficult. Occasionally you will get a notification that someone replied to you, but when you click on it there is an error. Finding that post again takes a lot of clicks and a thorough search through your history. more -
Got worse with last update!
Nov 23, 2017 By 61EspoYahoo updated the app last week and now my I phone shows 75 notifications that used to disappear when you opened the app and read the stories! Fix this please! I don't need to be looking at this little red for all if the time showing 75 notifications when there aren't any there! more

Dec 23, 2020 By Justin FGreat news aggregator. Gives the headlines from various sources. Great because you can see what each source thinks is note worthy and worth talking about. It can help you find which news organizations are worth your time and which are trying to distract you. Plus it's a great help at getting multiple sides to a story. I'd give it give stars, but its too easy to accidentally swipe right or left while trying to scroll. more

Mar 7, 2019 By A Google userIt has a variety of news sources, and the app is easy to use. However that is about it. I wish I could choose what news sources to view, so that I dont have to waste time passint over certain less relevant news sources, such as the Huffington Post. Also, more filter options would be a huge help. here's an idea. by adding a favorites tab, or an up down button. The buttom, and favorites tab combined would allow each user to customize news that is relevant to their life, and interests. more -
What happened to yahoo?
Oct 21, 2021 By Harutaka24Yahoo news has always been left leaning, that’s okay because even if people disagreed you could say so in the comments section, and sometimes there was overwhelming opposition from readers. But now, comments have been gone for a while and they just removed the voting system so you can’t even downvote their overly biased articles. Yahoo has zero interest in creating any conversations they just want you to pay their authors on the back and tell them you agree. Pathetic journaling, I’ll just use one of the other hundred news outlets that are exactly the same and censor their audience… more -
Mar 5, 2020 By A Google userI have every feed selected but I still don't see the same, more interesting content the Yahoo homepage shows, which I can no longer use, at least on my tablet, because after a few seconds an ad for the app comes up with no way to get rid of it. At this point, only using it because I have to. (Update) the app ad no longer stops me from using the webpage. The content problem remains. more -
Going downhill
Apr 7, 2021 By drM3zzanin3This app used to have useful news. Now each article is choked with a summary section that is usually exactly the same as the first 3 paragraphs afterwards, an exact copy. Then there are only a couple more paragraphs before the article ends and does not contain the full article most of the time before auto- loading the next article. There are also many duplicate articles on the main feed. The feed is twice as long as it needs to be. It’s just too much work to try and dig through and get useful information from this app anymore. more -
Aug 10, 2020 By Craig LeeSo-so app. Gripes: 1. To get back to headlines, have to swipe to top of the article first. In contrast, Google News (which I'm not plugging here) has an always-visible back arrow to return to headlines. 2. 'Never Autoplay videos' (setting) doesn't stop videos from auto-playing. 3. Can't turn notification sound off. Beyond these design issues, the news offering itself is reasonably comprehensive. more -
Glitches to different story when clicked
Dec 18, 2017 By OlliesgirlThe app often opens an entirely unrelated story when when I’m trying to follow a different headline. Then when I go back, I can’t find the story I was originally interested in reading. It also switches articles. Often, when I’m in the middle of reading a long story it will suddenly switch to a different article with no way to get back to the story I was reading. The only option is to spend 5-10 scrolling through the feed hoping to find the headline again. This is especially annoying when I’m 15 minutes or more deep into a long read article. more -
New version is annoying
Jun 17, 2020 By Un-originThere was nothing wrong with functionality of the old version. This update has made stories not load. It's also slow, choppy and unreliable. The main page doesn't seem to work very well. Update: the app continually freezes opening and closing articles to the point where I close and reopen it. Frustrating and annoying. I’ve almost stopped using it in favour of just going through safari. The web is more up to date and no issues with responsiveness. more -
Yahoo use cheap tactics to get users
Oct 31, 2020 By USA36First they have comments under articles letting people express their views then what happened? You guess it! They don’t have enough moderation or moderators to watch all this and they have disable it. Of course they claimed is only temporary but is not! Only reason why they have comments in first place is to attract new users. Once they hit number they just disabled comments. Yahoo is a scam and garbage company! I’m still remembering my email leak with password. I would never trust them ever! Avoid them at al cost and you will have happier life! more -
Negativity News
Jan 19, 2019 By Heartland Soybean JoeI personally feel that the entire News media including Yahoo has gone to feeding more and more negative news to the American public! There’s so much positive good news to report but not reported. The small percentage of negative things from all aspects of daily life are reported as if this is the way all Police officers are, its the way all airlines are, a particular car manufacturer has so unsafe cars, nothing in politics are done productivity ... I can go on and on. If your wandering I was a registered Democrat now switching parties. I’ll just go with what does get done, not sit with a party that obstructs and complains. more -
Oct 5, 2019 By A Google userThis app operates in the portrait mode for indices and will only flip to landscape during a news video. I could not controll it. I selected one article and it continued to automatically select others, I could not stop it. I attempted to uninstall it and it would not allow me to do that. So now I am stuck with clutter on my tablet that I will never use. more

Keeps me up to date on news
Oct 28, 2018 By Laura of ozI don’t have a lot of time to watch all the news so I really love getting the important things that come across my screen. That way I can tap on it and it takes me to to whole story. Even if it’s not all that important it does keep me in touch with what’s happening in our country and our world around us. more -

Dec 30, 2017 By DnLRArk61I Love Yahoo! I especially luv that you keep me up to date on all the latest Science news. In as much as I am a gluten for all types. I went to college to study Forensic Science but was bitten by the Sociology bug. Soci allow me to combine many favorite disciplines including Data Management, which I had work history in. Thanks Yahoo! For keeping me in the loop morning to night old friends. more -
Good work in keeping free thought alive!
Sep 20, 2017 By TheTruthPrevailsIt's good that you provide an open forum for voicing opinions! But some stories seem too tabloid! America has no concept of reality left! To decipher reality from fiction! Can you better screen your stories? Otherwise people do complain about Yahoo! But they still use it like an addiction! Keep up the good work in keeping free thought alive! more -
Less than professional and highly left leaning
Sep 7, 2019 By Beto4dogcatcherCan’t seem to hire actual professional journalists so most of their stories come from other websites, then they filter those for mostly nonsense. Very little news, but I like to read the comments. Lots of seriously mental people commenting on stuff they are clueless about. Gets entertaining. more -
Great Information
Jan 14, 2018 By Sherri876This is great, I am able to get up to date news on what is going on. I do appreciate that the articles are consistent and I don’t have to keep pressing an arrow to continue on with the story. This opens quickly, the format is easy to read and select what may interest me for reading or viewing next. more -
Newsroom
Jan 18, 2018 By The job seekers coachThere are all different news apps out there that are very bias when it comes to politics. Yours doesn’t. It just tells you the facts as to what has happened. When it comes to to anything else out there, it’s always the facts. It’s also very helpful if you want information for yourself. It’s very good and informative. more

Error message showing
Sep 12, 2020 By Frustrated user11I actually enjoy reading the news from this app But after the bug fixes last week, it now shows “Sorry, something went wrong, try again” when swiping up or down to look for more articles -
Jan 3, 2020 By A Google userGetting used to your format. The tv went on the blink maybe early summer. I think I much prefer news on the phone. More under my control and at my speed. I never have been a tv fan- am a reader. I like the political stuff, and the diversity. the information is pretty right on. I also enjoy the variety of articles and being able to read again. Even though I am 74 yrs. Old I am still a learner, still teach some classes. more -
Feb 21, 2021 By Rr BbbThis app is pretty good but there are a couple of things that are annoying. It's too easy to make the screen swipe left or right accidentally while trying to scroll up and down with one hand. The other is when the pop up appears at the bottom to tell you about the next story. It interferes with the story you're already reading. Honestly I gave it 4 stars because it seems like the developer cares about having a good app. But those two things make me not enjoy it as much as I would otherwise. more -
Forum for the misinformed.
Feb 8, 2019 By SOGQI’m so glad to be able to read a story that may or may not be entirely worthwhile and then endure the comments of the legions of lemmings whose ability to read, and think is limited by the amount of FOX CABLE NEWS they watch. The only thing good that comes out of these comments is the knowledge that the USA has so many frightened and gullible people in it. more -
Stop with Kardashian articles
Nov 16, 2018 By Rio Gojo LaneAppreciate the News app but exhausted with Kardashian articles. Social media has made them relevant and rich. Look at the comments of users 90% negative. They do not deserve their success. Can’t act, sing, dance or do anything considered the arts. It’s a shame that these people get the attention and pay that they do. Negative role models for ALL young women. more -
Sorta review!
Nov 7, 2018 By Rubicon3 (Rubi3)These days it’s difficult if not impossible to figure out where HONEST, unbiased news can be found...one has to pick and choose carefully if you don’t want to be led around by the brainwashed nose. Yahoo does a fair job combining good, bad and indifferent news, most of which is pretty credible though. However, I do wish they’d settle on ONE format and go with it!! more -
I really don’t like the new format.
Dec 18, 2017 By 19691996I really don’t like the new format. In fact, it is so annoying I’m going to delete the app. I liked it before. But these stupid picture articles with the annoying music in the background is just too much. I just want to be able to read an article like a normal person. more -
Good news app
Oct 4, 2017 By JordanPeeeI like this app for getting my daily news. My only complaint is that you cannot fully customize the news categories that appear in your feed. For example, I would prefer if my feed didn't have politics or entertainment articles showing up. more

Jul 29, 2019 By A Google userNews info is good even though there are some typos every now and then. Really don't care when people say it's a left approach. I make up my own mind. However, Yahoo keeps changing their format and the latest change in July is the most annoying and labor intensive to get what you want: click here, click there. Previous format needed work, but much easier to navigate. more -
Text too small
Aug 24, 2019 By AngivanThe text size in the Yahoo News app is too small for me, it causes eye strain. I’m only 52! Another reviewer was told there is a “Tt” button to adjust it, but I don’t see one. Also, it would be helpful when you are notified of a reaction to your comment to be taken directly to it instead of having to locate your comment. And also to have a link to the original article for reference or at least the headline of the story. Thanks. more -
Featured articles freeze when scrolling
Sep 10, 2017 By Lucky79706This app always has a few bugs but the latest has been SUPER frustrating! When you try to scroll through the featured articles, the app starts stalling or not responding at all. Only way around it is to force shut down the app and reopen, hoping that the featured article you were trying to click on is still there when you go back in. Please fix!!!! more -
Video Problems
Apr 1, 2019 By Logging me outI use this app to watch the news and normally do not have problems , however this time I wanted to watch a video that is part of an article and it tells me: “due to license restrictions, this video cannot be play on a tablet. To view the video, use a mobile phone instead “. I am using a mobile phone, not a table...I am using using the app that installed on my iphone. more -
Has Potential With Some Much Needed Updates
Dec 19, 2017 By Ehong33234Needs to add these features to upcoming (hopefully soon) updates: 1. Videos need to be either transcribed in the article or offer closed captioning. Just throwing a video up with no reading option is isolating half of your app users who are reading in bed or can’t have the volume on. 2. When a user is reviewing their own comments (posts), there’s no way to Re-read the article you commented on. See notifications should allow a swipe left to view article or swipe right to see comment(s). 3. Search function is a joke 4. Give option to bookmark or favorite an article 5. Allow reputation points for posts more -
News should be informative not biased.
Jan 3, 2019 By zib60After reading many user reviews I didn’t think there was any more to add, lots of negative reviews are warranted and the few positive ones are few and far in between. Take this from a long time user of yahoo, news article should be clearly written , unbiased and without leaning towards one side of the other no matter what the issue, particularly politics. We the readers are the ones who judge contents of stories and decide what is fact and what’s fiction, fake new. Liberal biased reporting will continue to push yahoo readers to other outlets, I wanna read truthful fact filled articles, not hearsay and opinion filled blabber. At the point of no return. more

Feb 19, 2021 By John DoeInterface has become unreliable and frustrating. Attempting to scroll through an article frequently just has the app acting as if you're trying to swipe left/right to another story, or the app thinks you're trying to tap its annoying pop up at the bottom for some other story. Ads on the stories it loads up to trick you into swiping into them will also play in the background, and even if you swipe over to stop them the ads just reload and restart when you go back. Awful and unfriendly. more -
Oct 19, 2018 By A Google userNot a very good news app 1. Can't create custom sections 2. Lots of ads made to look like news articles and I find that deceptive. They should be different font and design. 3. Should be option to display condensed thumbnail for each story, pictures are too big and that leads to a LOT of unnecessary scrolling. 4. No dark mode 5. NO WIDGET. that's a big strike. 6. Sometimes articles are way too short. Overall I'm disappointed more -
Oct 28, 2019 By A Google userThis is potentially a great app to accumulate & present potentially interesting articles. Unfortunately, there is an overwhelming amount of articles with liberal slants. I'd like the ability to thumbs down sources or themes that I deem biased or garbage authors. For the developers, I don't necessarily want to add additional news sources, but I would just like some capability to filter out some of the noise. more -
Jan 6, 2019 By A Google userSeeking a news aggregater app after the demise of Google News & Weather. This is not the one. Huge headline images means only two or three headlines on a screen (lots of scrolling, hard to quickly scan headlines). No dark mode. No landscape mode/view for tablets. On the plus side, the headlines are in a single scrolling list and not a jumbled mess of scattered tiles. I'll keep this one around and check back to see if they make it more usable. more -
User interface is stupid
Dec 19, 2021 By jlinx2000This news app would close the news article I’m reading whenever I swipe the page down a bit too much or if I’m already near or at the same Top of the page. Instead of just scrolling to the top of the page, the app closes the article I’m reading. The app already uses swipe from left to close an article or return to main page so why hijack the swipe down gesture for the same purpose ? more -
Updated interface horrible
Nov 26, 2017 By AlternativebestUsed this app regularly to get access to basic news. Recently updated the layout that was poorly made. The top trending articles gives you almost no information with some pictures. The normal articles itself you must “continue reading” to read the full article which then changes the format of the article and makes you lose your place. Updates made no improvements. more

What happened to yahoo?
Oct 21, 2021 By Harutaka24Yahoo news has always been left leaning, that’s okay because even if people disagreed you could say so in the comments section, and sometimes there was overwhelming opposition from readers. But now, comments have been gone for a while and they just removed the voting system so you can’t even downvote their overly biased articles. Yahoo has zero interest in creating any conversations they just want you to pay their authors on the back and tell them you agree. Pathetic journaling, I’ll just use one of the other hundred news outlets that are exactly the same and censor their audience… more -
Going downhill
Apr 7, 2021 By drM3zzanin3This app used to have useful news. Now each article is choked with a summary section that is usually exactly the same as the first 3 paragraphs afterwards, an exact copy. Then there are only a couple more paragraphs before the article ends and does not contain the full article most of the time before auto- loading the next article. There are also many duplicate articles on the main feed. The feed is twice as long as it needs to be. It’s just too much work to try and dig through and get useful information from this app anymore. more -
Glitches to different story when clicked
Dec 18, 2017 By OlliesgirlThe app often opens an entirely unrelated story when when I’m trying to follow a different headline. Then when I go back, I can’t find the story I was originally interested in reading. It also switches articles. Often, when I’m in the middle of reading a long story it will suddenly switch to a different article with no way to get back to the story I was reading. The only option is to spend 5-10 scrolling through the feed hoping to find the headline again. This is especially annoying when I’m 15 minutes or more deep into a long read article. more -
Yahoo use cheap tactics to get users
Oct 31, 2020 By USA36First they have comments under articles letting people express their views then what happened? You guess it! They don’t have enough moderation or moderators to watch all this and they have disable it. Of course they claimed is only temporary but is not! Only reason why they have comments in first place is to attract new users. Once they hit number they just disabled comments. Yahoo is a scam and garbage company! I’m still remembering my email leak with password. I would never trust them ever! Avoid them at al cost and you will have happier life! more -
Negativity News
Jan 19, 2019 By Heartland Soybean JoeI personally feel that the entire News media including Yahoo has gone to feeding more and more negative news to the American public! There’s so much positive good news to report but not reported. The small percentage of negative things from all aspects of daily life are reported as if this is the way all Police officers are, its the way all airlines are, a particular car manufacturer has so unsafe cars, nothing in politics are done productivity ... I can go on and on. If your wandering I was a registered Democrat now switching parties. I’ll just go with what does get done, not sit with a party that obstructs and complains. more -
Oct 5, 2019 By A Google userThis app operates in the portrait mode for indices and will only flip to landscape during a news video. I could not controll it. I selected one article and it continued to automatically select others, I could not stop it. I attempted to uninstall it and it would not allow me to do that. So now I am stuck with clutter on my tablet that I will never use. more -
Won’t go to landscape anymore!!!
Nov 27, 2017 By Cybrarian-WII don’t know what happened, what update did this, but all of a sudden when Newsroom opens it switches from landscape (which I keep my iPad locked in) to portrait and then that mucks everything up. Can’t see parts of the sty and have difficulty scrolling. And I’m still not a fan of Yahoo not just taking us to a browser - I preferred that. At least it seems like it consistently is taking us always to the app rather than half the time to a browser, half the time to the app. I’m not a fan though. The app opens up much more slowly than my browser did. more -
This review is my last hope before I delete app
Mar 8, 2018 By Jmarie660As a libertarian I truly HATE only finding severely biased articles. But the comment sections on here make it somehow bearable as I’m not expecting groundbreaking objective news only from yahoo. HOWEVER, yahoos Poor attention to details and fact checking their disgustingly biased progressive left side of literally EVERY article is such a let down because THEIR base won’t leave them, but after all they’ve recently been through as a company, why aren’t they listening to customers exactly like myself who they should be trying to scope for? more -
Aug 26, 2019 By A Google userDo not install! Yahoo news locks up continously when I select an article to read. After a wait I get a message that "Yahoo News has stopped responding" It then restarts and the article I was reading, and my place in the news article queue is reset to the top of the page and I have to start scrolling again. Not a good use of my time. Google news behaves better. more -
Dangerous garbage
Nov 23, 2017 By StephenReedyI have read Yahoo news since the late 1990’s. I have seen it decline in quality up to this current point- Yahoo news is often false, poorly researched and littered with errors. Worse, the links are often clickbait that make you click several other links just to get to the article. In several cases, a headline may read “See the photo everyone is talking about”... only to find the article has no photo. Thousands of comments on such scam-articles share the frustration. I believe Yahoo News is a greedy con. They hate you, treat you as a product and their information is dangerous to minds that are easily Influenced. I am not liberal nor conservative. I value balanced common sense as much as it is possible to find balanced common sense. I wish the best for humanity in a non-dogmatic way and believe everyone deserves happiness. Yahoo News does not. more
