Apr 13, 2021 I like the notications of breaking news on my lock screen. However, it seems every day I am reading an interesting article, but when I try scrolling, I lose the article and can't return to it or find it. It's been aggravating. Please fix this, thanks. 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 -
Got worse with last update!
Nov 23, 2017 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! more -

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.

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 -

Good work in keeping free thought alive!
Sep 20, 2017 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! more

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

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 -
May 9, 2021 Recently, whenever I scroll past a mid-article ad, the rest of the story disappears and you can't get it anymore. Really annoying. Please fix it. -
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 -
Apr 16, 2021 While the coverage is professionally handled, I'd rather skip the stories hyping some scandal or story approached purely as gossip. It aims rather low brow. I enjoy the well written coverage of events of the day from a variety of sources. 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 -
Apr 20, 2021 Yahoo News consistently purveys sloppy and inaccurate reporting. Today they posted a story misspelling Senator Durbin's name (Durban) and mistakenly listed him as representing Delaware instead of Illinois. Do they not employ any fact checkers or proofreaders? What's worse, they provide no way to provide any feedback without going through their parent company Verizon. It's sloppy and shows a total lack of respect to their readers more -
May 26, 2021 Bias news stories, can't trust anything they post. yahoo spins every story to a left leaning political narrative and by doing so they rob me of factual information to have a well rounded view of current sitchuations, one of the last places to go to feed my brain with factual information 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 -
Apr 3, 2021 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. -
Apr 9, 2021 Can't fully read articles because it blanks out after scrolling through the screen ad. Tried to email dev team about bug, but "user Unknown".

Newsroom
Jan 18, 2018 There 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 -
May 10, 2021 My experience with all things Yahoo has been awesome! -
Less than professional and highly left leaning
Sep 7, 2019 Can’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

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 -
Sorta review!
Nov 7, 2018 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 I 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 -
Stop with Kardashian articles
Nov 16, 2018 Appreciate 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 -
Error message showing
Sep 12, 2020 I 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 -
Newsroom
Feb 25, 2018 I like the app but.......never can read the whole story .....pictures do not appear....many stories start but do not get completed because they abruptly discontinues Same problem no results after complaint I tried to contact you but got no results more -
Good news app
Oct 4, 2017 I 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

Text too small
Aug 24, 2019 The 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 This 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 I 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 Needs 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 Room
Jan 28, 2018 App does a good job bringing Content I want to Read to ME! I wish IT could FILTER or drop authors that routinely provide Hit Pieces versus News! I Only want to Read unbiased News! NewsWeek, CNN, VOX and other feeds routinely provide Hit pieces that have no value other than feeding negative emotions based ON writers bias! No facts! In the future I Will move to News provider WHO can filter to real News such as WSJ, CNBC and FOX if both sides are shown for opinion pieces! more -
News should be informative not biased.
Jan 3, 2019 After 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 -
Difficult interface
Apr 7, 2018 On a recent update Newsroom started running flyby articles. I prefer to read at my own pace and to have the opportunity to study the images associated with the text, not to have to proceed at an electronic pace. Also, when navigating, some taps unintentionally cause the current view to disappear or lock the view for a long stretch of time. more -
Who writes the articles?!
Sep 14, 2017 Yahoo your content is worse than a grocery store tabloid with articles that have poor grammar, misspellings, and lewd content so often that your site is losing credibility. Also, why censor reader's comments if your writers can swear with impunity? Also, most "news" is so slanted that the page is only opinion and not credible. Sad. more -
Dancing with the Stars
Nov 5, 2019 Used to be one of my favorite shows, but it’s a dance competition not a popularity contest. If they can’t find a way to send Sean home, I’ll not watch future seasons. Changes were supposed to be made this season so this didn’t happen. Obviously, nothing has changed. In the future, only the judge’s scores should count if the public can’t be counted on to be fair. more -
Improved
Mar 17, 2019 The stories are now more news and less liberal opinion. It is almost what you should expect from a news site. This site used to be so liberal, it turned my stomach. It appears an attempt is being made to balance what is reproduced. Now the editors must attempt to report news and much less opinion. more

May 21, 2021 Audio ads on articles (not videos) is ridiculous. -
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 -
Updated interface horrible
Nov 26, 2017 Used 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 -
A Democrat
Nov 11, 2020 Is it illegal for media to say anything nice about Republicans??? This is actually getting ridiculous. This entire article only refers to ‘mismanaged’ Republican states, when in fact many Democratic run states are having horrible rises in COVID as well. I live in a very blue state, we have all the “mandates” in place and our COVID numbers are out of control. PLEASE, just report the facts and TRY no to blame everything on Republicans. It’s really annoying and makes it seem like you are an UNRELIABLE source of information. more -
Not a news source
Mar 3, 2019 Yahoo “news” is misnomer. They are no where near the center and most articles are blatantly tabloid style. They jump on the wagon in cases, like police shootings, the white kids at Lincoln’s memorial etc to proclaim the people are quilty and to appease SJWs. Then when it’s shown that they’re incorrect, they don’t have the integrity to apologize and will, in fact, try to continue the incorrect information by declaring that “THIS article is maybe wrong, but it REALLY shows...” more -
Too many videos
Dec 11, 2017 The app used to be a good way to catch up on written news. Now there’s only a headline or another sentence plus a video. It takes forever to load an article even without a video because there are more headline-type pictures and very little content. If you like getting all your news videos then enjoy. I’m switching to another app that gives me written, detailed, news. more -
What a disappointment
Aug 4, 2019 I downloaded the apps in hopes of filtering out the items that are useless to me. Alas even though they let me pick my general areas of interest, stories about Celebrities still seep into my feed. There is no simple option to block...say PopSugar. I have to say this app seems to be more about Yahoo! Tracking what news I’m reading than giving me control over filters on my news. more

Mar 23, 2021 Just updated and now it just crashes without opening. Time to delete this POS app and find a better news app. -
Won’t go to landscape anymore!!!
Nov 27, 2017 I 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 -
Negativity News
Jan 19, 2019 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. more
What’s Groovy
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.

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!
