Feb 21, 2021 This 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 -
Feb 19, 2021 Somewhat better than Google News but also annoying in many ways. Hitting the back button often takes you back to the beginning of the news feed. The Tech articles are boring and generic compared to Google News. All in all it does offer a straight forward interface for getting the news without too many obtrusive ads or articles you can't get to without a special subscription like the Apple News feed.more -
The Details
Feb 1, 2018 I have enjoyed my search for news even more over the last 3 months ... thanks to Newsroom..The coverage they offer is broad , correct and they search for all the details. It’s been a pleasure to have read the story days before it gets to TV. When asked where I got my news or where they can find out what is happening. My response is check the NewsRoom . Cassmore -
Feb 23, 2021 When i get up in the morning and open my phone the news is the first thing I see. I am well informed on the news happening during the night in my town. I like the way that now they can summarize the reports and get up quick view and choose if you want to continue with the story. Yes I do life it the new platform and the news articles that arelm important are right there when you get up. I don't have to go looking around to find out what's going on in the world.more -
Variety and less biased
Jan 21, 2020 Yahoo 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

Apr 5, 2021 Very biased. Headlines are very misleading, and they are intended to push a very liberal agenda. They don't stick to reporting just the facts like true journalists. Opinions are not supposed to be included, nor speculations, nor assumptions. Sadly, this app is preloaded on my phone and I cannot uninstall.more -
Swipe Controls Horrible
Sep 15, 2018 The new swipe controls to exit an article is too close to the motion used to simply scroll through the article while reading. It is so annoying to be reading an article and the app closes because it thinks you are swiping to go back to the main page. It is so frustrating the app is almost unusable at this point. I don't usually rate this app because its just a news aggregate. But this change has enraged me so much because of the habit I have in using this app and is a increased level of stress because of the frustration of simply "reading the paper". It is the equivalent of reading a newspaper in a tornado. Get rid of this feature immediately.more -
Not a good product
Aug 24, 2018 There are countless problems with this app. Here are a few. The app highjacked My Yahoo news feed. I understand that it is a Yahoo product, but there really isn’t any better way to describe an abrupt change in format of a different app without a way to toggle back to the original app. Another problem is that the Privacy statement is in Spanish. The entire legal package including all the weasel language is in English, except for the Privacy statement. Oath seems to be involved with the Privacy statement. However all I can find is a hip hop ad trying to tell me how cool Oath is without telling what Oath does. An additional problem is that there is now way to track your comments.more -
Feb 19, 2021 Interface 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 -
Too much crap!
Aug 3, 2020 Too little hard news, narrow range of news topics, old news - stories stay up for days or are already out of date material, tons of clickbait, single sentence news bites with no substance. People have complained for months about these issues, the app often asks for feedback, but doesn’t really care what you think. Don’t waste your time. Just a trashy app. If you like it, you probably are a knuckle dragging trailer park denizen. Bring back the comments. That’s what makes the app worthwhile. Yahoo! dumber than a box of rocks for removing that function. Used to spend hours on it; now 5 minutes and I’m done, if I bother at all.more

Mar 14, 2021 I’m glad to see the ability to leave comments gone. It’s a real shame however that people do not use self control on platforms like this.

Keeps me up to date on news
Oct 28, 2018 I 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

Okay, too many video only articles.
Dec 16, 2017 The recent changes seem to throw a lot of video at readers in articles. Many times I like to just read article,then maybe watch associated video. Would be nice to be able to pause the video. Video uses a lot of data and even though many have unlimited plans the data is slowed down after a certain amount of data usage.more -
Forum for the misinformed.
Feb 8, 2019 I’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 -
Feb 14, 2021 Seems like overall top news still outranks personalization to avoid an echo chamber. I don't have an account and use it as a guest though. I do like that a lot of their info comes from AP and the guardian which have been shown to be middle ground, just giving the facts resources.more

Feb 21, 2021 Have always enjoyed getting news while on the go. The only reason I give you a 3, and I was thinking maybe a 2, is that you decided to eliminate the comments section with every article. The worst thing that you could do. If you don't want to allow comments, stop printing articles and maybe just print cartoons or such.more -
Feb 21, 2021 I like the detailed information but the service frequently cuts me off as I read a story and go down a page. Therefore, I have to later go to a computer vs my cell, to get the rest of the story. Otherwise, I would give it 5-stars.

Feb 22, 2021 Truely a one sided news app. I did not look at any of the political news after the first few weeks that this "news app" came across my phone. Now that Trump is out of the White House, let's see how the news will be. Hopefully it will be better. I don't want a news app "telling me" how I am supposed to think. This one did. Truely disappointed in this app.more -
New version is annoying
Jun 17, 2020 There 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 -
Feb 4, 2021 App was great until this morning. My phone is blowing up with the same "breaking news" notifications over and over again, and most of them are stories I already read earlier this week. I'm going to have to delete the app if these notifications continue.more

Glitches to different story when clicked
Dec 18, 2017 The 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
What’s Groovy
I’m simply puzzled and strongly disagree with people who post negative remarks about Yahoo news. Some are simply rediculous. I love the trending news alerts and headlines as it keeps my attention. If I have a complaint, it’s in the name itself. “Yahoo” sounds childish or elementary even though it’s also has become an American brand name. But keep up the great work and your willingness to evolve with our changing times!! MANA (Make America Normal Again)!!! I miss boring and Normal!!!

What’s Subpar
Yahoo news claims to have made fixes and have debugged their app; yet, when I try to open the app, I get a three second blank white screen, followed by being booted out. After a couple of times of this, Google play sends alert that the yahoo app kerps failing. Although that is a great observation--one of which I took note of myself,-- I don't understand the problem, or what I can do to fix it. Thank you, Yaphewy!

Got worse with last update!
Yahoo 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! -
With the news cycle what it has been the past several years, it is helpful to have an app that brings headlines into one convenient place. Amusingly, I see a number of conspiracy-nut reviewers whining that the news (again, news from multiple sources) is "fake" and "liberal." You thusly have earned my 5-star rating. Keep it up!

I 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. -
Good work in keeping free thought alive!
It'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!

It always seems to be more biased to democratic party just like other media. Shouldn't all media be unbiased? Do the media not know that nationwide the tally of the 2 parties is nearly 50-50? The day the media stops pretending like it is 98-2 stacked against the republican party, we shall start getting a more unbiased news.

Yahoo the Suppresser of Free Speech
Where is the comment’s section? This liberal news site propaganda is anti-free speech, extremely bias, promotes half-truths, is full of hate and hypocrisy and posts articles that fit their liberal biases. By the way, I just deleted this junk after one article heading read “ Tens of thousands rally in DC to support outgoing President Trump; at least 20 arrested as protesters clash with counter-protesters.” Yahoo is so twisted—it was the COUNTER-protesters clashing with the protesters by going after elderly people, picking fights with Trump supporters and throwing firecrackers in restaurants where Trump supporters are eating. Good riddance Yahoo, and I won’t come back until you stop suppressing free speech. -
Yahoo News shows a consistent bias in both the news articles and news agencies. I seldom see a news article that in any way challenge the left wing narrative. The times that Yahoo uses articles from a "conservative" news agencies it seems to only be when the new agency runs a article that is favorable to the left. There may be articles that show conservative positions in a positive light.

Worthless
I just uninstalled this. Basically all the news you get is Hollywood people and their lives and liberal MSM. Useless and I’m tired of the liberal slant.
-
Interface 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.
-
Can you please get rid of the next in top stories notification that keeps popping up at the bottom. Its pissing me off soo bad having that notification pop up that I'm about to delete this app.

Truely a one sided news app. I did not look at any of the political news after the first few weeks that this "news app" came across my phone. Now that Trump is out of the White House, let's see how the news will be. Hopefully it will be better. I don't want a news app "telling me" how I am supposed to think. This one did. Truely disappointed in this app.

New version is annoying
There 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. -
App was great until this morning. My phone is blowing up with the same "breaking news" notifications over and over again, and most of them are stories I already read earlier this week. I'm going to have to delete the app if these notifications continue.
-
It receives stars because it does put news out there but like many other news stations it is a biased, far left wing news source which only tells one side if a story. I browse the stories on here so I can compare with other news sites to see other points of view. If you do the same this one leans way left.
-
The last two day, February 6-7 2021 my news scroll just stops filling in after the first section even though I have selected other publications I wish to see headlines of. This is the first time this has happened. It started after updating. Please help. Stop this, it'd be worth 5 stars.
-
Very biased. Headlines are very misleading, and they are intended to push a very liberal agenda. They don't stick to reporting just the facts like true journalists. Opinions are not supposed to be included, nor speculations, nor assumptions. Sadly, this app is preloaded on my phone and I cannot uninstall.
-
Swipe Controls Horrible
The new swipe controls to exit an article is too close to the motion used to simply scroll through the article while reading. It is so annoying to be reading an article and the app closes because it thinks you are swiping to go back to the main page. It is so frustrating the app is almost unusable at this point. I don't usually rate this app because its just a news aggregate. But this change has enraged me so much because of the habit I have in using this app and is a increased level of stress because of the frustration of simply "reading the paper". It is the equivalent of reading a newspaper in a tornado. Get rid of this feature immediately. -
Not a good product
There are countless problems with this app. Here are a few. The app highjacked My Yahoo news feed. I understand that it is a Yahoo product, but there really isn’t any better way to describe an abrupt change in format of a different app without a way to toggle back to the original app. Another problem is that the Privacy statement is in Spanish. The entire legal package including all the weasel language is in English, except for the Privacy statement. Oath seems to be involved with the Privacy statement. However all I can find is a hip hop ad trying to tell me how cool Oath is without telling what Oath does. An additional problem is that there is now way to track your comments. -
Too much crap!
Too little hard news, narrow range of news topics, old news - stories stay up for days or are already out of date material, tons of clickbait, single sentence news bites with no substance. People have complained for months about these issues, the app often asks for feedback, but doesn’t really care what you think. Don’t waste your time. Just a trashy app. If you like it, you probably are a knuckle dragging trailer park denizen. Bring back the comments. That’s what makes the app worthwhile. Yahoo! dumber than a box of rocks for removing that function. Used to spend hours on it; now 5 minutes and I’m done, if I bother at all. -
Glitches to different story when clicked
The 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. -
Yahoo the Suppresser of Free Speech
Where is the comment’s section? This liberal news site propaganda is anti-free speech, extremely bias, promotes half-truths, is full of hate and hypocrisy and posts articles that fit their liberal biases. By the way, I just deleted this junk after one article heading read “ Tens of thousands rally in DC to support outgoing President Trump; at least 20 arrested as protesters clash with counter-protesters.” Yahoo is so twisted—it was the COUNTER-protesters clashing with the protesters by going after elderly people, picking fights with Trump supporters and throwing firecrackers in restaurants where Trump supporters are eating. Good riddance Yahoo, and I won’t come back until you stop suppressing free speech. -

It started by selectively not allowing me to comment on an article now it is a complete ban on any commentary. It is full of clickbait articles and advertising. The one that really ticks me off is when clickbait shows a picture and then when i click thru the article the promo picture never shows up IN the article. Very biased against Trump even after he left office. Biden can do no wrong even when says he is tired of all the biracial couples in advertizing.
-
Just updated and now it just crashes without opening. Time to delete this POS app and find a better news app.

Negativity News
I 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.
