Smart News is really smart May 30, 2018

By ediemillerangelo

I was apparently one of the first regular user of the app and shared articles on Twitter constantly. 3 or 4 of the developers asked me for an interview via Skype and what Interested ME, was that they were all very young and what interested THEM was WHY I was so interested in the news. An earlier reviewer cited being fed too much liberal news and she should be happy with the addition of NEWSMAX which is definitely right leaning. Early on the developers said the algorithms choose the articles in your feed by the articles you actually read and your interest profile is just algorithms doing what they do but you have the option to choose a tab and read any article from any of the magazine you have added. I asked them to please keep it that was and not to start choosing ( as Facebook does ) articles to put forth an agenda, especially not a political agenda. So far I don’t see it happening. I have pretty eclectic interests and really enjoy the variety I have to choose from. This app also gives you the ability to swipe over to Reader View and read the articles without the annoying advertisements. All in all I hardly use any of my other news apps. I am afraid to count how many tabs I have on my home page! Love it!!

I love the fact this app provides multiple points of view and allows you to slide to the right or the left to read topics more thoroughly. I agree with the other reviewers that it's annoying when I'm reading an article and it "updates" moving on so that I can't finish the article. Perhaps it would work better if it only updated when you return to the main page?? Thank you SmartNews.. You have allowed me to present news so that my wife is interested and because of that she registered and voted!

Love!!! Aug 28, 2020

By ColeyDets

I love reading the news - but I hate news with an agenda. Before SmartNews, I had my local Fox News app, which is about as non-bipartisan as you can get. The reason I love SmartNews is because it gives me ALL the news...all sides, from literally all media outlets. I can go to the local tab (includes everything from the local Fox plus much more) or see what’s happening in our government, or the world, or to look at funny memes and animal pic compilations. I love how it’s not all doom-and-gloom news, they include the feel-good news, too! It’s amazing!!! I would highly recommend this app to anyone, 10-stars, big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍 P.S. I LOVE the recently read feature!!! 👏👏👏 Edit: I looked over some other reviewers and I’m completely floored that people would say this app has an agenda!! Every article is from its original source, so it’s clear where the article came from. If you get triggered by one side or the other, then go into your settings and adjust the scale so that you get what you want 🙂👍

Used to love this app. I love having everything in one place. Lately, however, it's been awful. Articles won't load at all or you read halfway through the article and then it's just a blank page. I have a brand new phone with tons of space and memory, high speed internet and unlimited data so it's definitely the app. Restarting the app and my phone do not help. It would have 5 stars if it worked consistently

A couple bugs and a suggestion Sep 20, 2020

By tmanokc

I recently reset my iPad’s settings and content, and upon reinstalling SmartNews, the app’s notifications won’t push anymore. It misses the scheduled update notification times and doesn’t display breaking news notifications. Stories aren’t even being put in the inbox. Also, for a long time, some stories featured on the app are unable to display the full article text in “smart mode”, either omitting paragraphs or not being parsed at all or correctly to display the complete text featured in the original source page. Oddly, the notifications were still working properly when I upgraded my iPad from iPadOS 13.7 to 14.0 after the latter OS was released, with the most recent SmartNews update installed. Also, I’d like to suggest changes to the weather page to include a summary of the current weather observations (adding dew point, wind, barometric pressure, “feels like” temperature, visibility and humidity, along with sky conditions and air temperature). The current format of putting just the current temperature and sky conditions in the hourly forecast panel just doesn’t make sense, given that the weather page provides more detailed information on the forecast while only providing the bare minimum when it comes to current conditions.

Ad popping Sep 29, 2020

By Don't even think about it1988

This app is now randomly throwing up full screen ads with hidden dismiss buttons. It’s amazing how something can go from good to junk apps with one greed based change. Ditching it, you should too. However, this review won’t make it anywhere near the top of reviews for obvious reasons. I’ve found great replacement that doesn’t force feed ads and in comparison to this app, they get me the news I want to read, while still allowing me to find what I want that’s outside my immediate interest. Importantly, without then flooding me with garbage because I read one article. You can say what you don’t like, and that stuff isn’t forced down your throat either. It’s not hard to find something much better, you should look. The developer is asking for suggestions. The suggestion is do not pop up full screen ads that are difficult to close and require user input, or worse killing the app. Simple. The inline ads were (are) plentiful without this. The fact that people don’t click them except accidentally is not a cue to make them full screen and hard to close. That motivation is about $ and advertisers, which has nothing to do with delivering the news. Not the product spots masquerading as articles, the actual news. Either you are a news app or an advertising outlet. Smart news seems to have made that choice. That’s why I, and many others are abandoning the app. It’s not a hard calculus.

App should be named MSNBC2 Oct 30, 2018

By GiveItARestAlready

Being fed up with pretty much all media outlets having a noticeable political bias and wanting to JUST k ow what happened, not someone’s analysis of it, I’ve been looking for an app that just gives the news. Let me figure out what it means. an app that I can open up, see what happened in the world today and close it. I gave this app about 4 months. Every time I opened it it seemed to get worse. If there was a Trump/Republican bashing article anywhere on the net, you’ll find it on the front page here. You don’t even have to read the articles to see that everything on this site is for liberals. The titles are hilariously liberal. Don’t think I’ve seen a single article pertaining to the US government or the White House or republican that wasn’t a negative liberal opinion piece. I scrolled through about 5 minutes ago and it was ridiculous. Finally decided to delete it. This isn’t a news site. If you really just want to know what happened in the world today, this is not the site for you. Update: Based on the developers feedback, it’s obvious that anyone who points out that this is a liberal leaning site is told to try Fox News for your conservative views. I’m not even a conservative. Just someone looking for unbiased news and this poser is telling everyone that points out their obvious bias that they’re a conservative and need to look elsewhere for their conservative views. This won’t be around long.

Recently instituted full page ads that can't be dismissed when exiting a page; is now essentially a spam app. I used to be a huge fan. Update: I'm not against ads. Just full screen ads that can't be dismissed and you have to exit the app to escape. Just had one again today.

Better than most news apps but still some flaws Sep 20, 2020

By Nostateblues

Would definitely not recommend this app. This app promises to deliver unbiased credible reporting from reliable sources on both sides of the story but more often than not I will get articles from random blogs and buzzfeed articles from people who clearly have no idea what they’re talking about. In theory the app is supposed to deliver you a list of credible sources from both sides of the argument so you can make your own opinion. In reality the app is nothing more than a tool to filter out all news stories that don’t agree with your world view and makes it extremely easy for people to blindly build up their own worldview while refusing to acknowledge other opinions exist. Ultimately the developers are just trying to market off of the fake news era and not deliver you real news and because of that they shouldn’t get any of your time. Edit: after continuing to use the app for a few weeks, I can safely say don’t waste your time here. Half the time I don’t even get news stories popping up in my feed but random celebrity or meme things and there’s no way to tweak your results or flag articles presented to you. And the ads pop up every other article now. If you are really desperate for a news app just use the Apple one

I used to live on this app. As always, greed will destroy a good thing. I completely understand the need for an ad or two, but you force us to watch them or close the app and restart it. I find myself reading apple news more now, never thought I'd ever do that. I'm now looking for a different app similar to this that I can switch to. Hope the invasive ads were worth it.

Downloaded because I like these types of apps to read all the news soon as I opened it I could clearly see whoever does this has a hand in the liberal agenda to destroy America it’s way obvious then I read one of their cringe worthy articles and realize they really are scared most the new generation along with older hipsters and all the career students that racked up debt on pointless wemon study degrees etc. are so afraid they’re everyone else will pay for my bills and generally lazy lifestyle don’t fear trump doesn’t even need to campaign watch and see the deplorable will show up faster than you liberals can create voters bus them in from Mexico Canada it’s not even a possible outcome to loose I been over this whole country the last year just count bumper stickers from even the last election most elections even the winners voters take them off but they’re all still on even the Hillary jail ones and I’m pretty sure she has died already or went back to her hole she came from

Still great, but could use some tweaks Feb 21, 2021

By shg71

Update: after latest updates, the app will often hang if I scroll the feed shortly after launching. I’ve been using the app for years and have found the improvements along the way to be useful. I like that you can slide political coverage from left leaning, to center, to right leaning and, overall, I find center to be providing me just that. I appreciate that I get a good mix of view points on any given topic. However, my request would be to allow for blocking of -specific- publications within the aggregated categories. For example, there are some ridiculous “news” sites that constantly post unvetted, partisan, garbage (on both sides of the political spectrum, as well as, within other non-political categories). I’m sure there is an algorithm that assumes I want to continue to see these articles based on some prior, similar browsing activity, but regardless, I’d like to be able to specify that I don’t want content from those sites in particular. Additionally, I notice that I will sometimes see articles in my feed that are really dated. Like it appears as recent, however upon opening the link I’ll see that the article was written months or even years ago. I’d like the ability to specify “only show content from past day, or week, or month”, etc.. Other than that, I find the app to be succinct and one of the better aggregate news apps available.

I loved this app on my S9 but I recently switched to a S21 and I do not get pop up notifications like I did with the app on my S9. I checked all notification settings and they are the same as my old phone. The only difference I can see is that on my old phone, it says it was downloaded from T Mobile and this phone, it was downloaded from the Google Play Store. Any suggestions?

Would give 5 but... Nov 21, 2019

By Upsetusernumber99

First off, to anyone complaining about it being “left leaning,” use your head for more than five seconds and control your emotions. I mean that seriously. The app is customizable to allow you to choose the exact news sources you want to see, provided they are in the app. Even if (not saying it is), the app is “left leaning”, do what I do. Just read from sources you trust, just add the right leaning channels. Or, get a bit of balance and have both sides presented before you when you open the app.. which is kinda the point of the app if you’ve seen the commercials. Anyways, I would give 5 stars if there’s a bit more customization. Customization on notifications, frequency of notifications, notifications for new stories from specific channels, etc. And, I would love a “Save for Later” feature. I often find myself opening the app, scrolling through, and seeing several headlines that sound interesting but I don’t have the time or just don’t want to read them at the time. Atm I’m just saving the link to those articles in Notes. I’d much rather be able to tap a button or two that saves it within Smart News itself in a “Save for Later” tab.

Solid, simple and customizable Jan 28, 2020

By airguitarbandit

I really like the simplicity of this app, especially the smart view of articles that strips away all the ads and such (though it does take images with it sometimes, it’s tricky). I also like that I can set a location and get local stuff mixed in. I would love a history feature where I can see a list of articles I’ve viewed, even the last like 25 would do. I often will want to share good stuff with someone when the topic comes up later in the day or I’ve even locked my phone halfway through an article, then get a notification for another interesting story and click it, only to remember I still had that other article finish which is now gone. Just a suggestion. Overall, really dig the app. Update: starting to see what others are saying about the spam-y articles seemingly being added to the “top” feed. I’ve unsubscribed to all the general channels and only follow publications now, but my top feed still has CNN and Buzzfeed mixed in. I assumed top feed was the aggregate of what I follow and nothing else. Would much prefer that.

Wish there was a larger selection of conservative news sources. General news tab definitely leans to leftie MSM sites. Can customize tabs -- needs more "right " leaning news to be truly balanced on. Most of the headline news on main tab are from left of center websites-- For example---How about including "the epoch times" articles on main news page?--- Developer will say it aggregates from many sources--- yes it does....liberal sources--definitely NOT balanced--am referring to main news page.

First review ever made but this app is pretty cool. But if I click on a notification to read about what it is, when I click out of it, the whole app closes down and when I restart the app the story that I assume is the newest news is hard, I mean really hard to find again. After looking for it for like 5mins a just give up. Please set it up to where it can at least take us to the main page so we can see the trending stories or something 🤷🏾‍♂️

As other users have described - I am sick and tired of this app "refreshing" so that what I'm reading disappears and is never to be found again. I have taken to letting the app guide me to articles and then immediately opening the article into Chrome or another browser. it is ridiculous that I have to find a work around to use it. Still, it has the best layout and actually does the best at giving me what I'm looking for. I will drop it as soon as another app does better without this issue.

Becoming more social and celebrity news source Sep 15, 2019

By Exmon11

When I first saw the app - was pleasantly surprised on the scope of of the feeds - seemed to collect from all sources. Now it seem too many - perhaps based on trends of what people are clicking on the most from each of the “news sources”. My observation : Looking at the “Top” stories tab it appears to me 50% of the stories are not what I consider news but how some socialite lost their spouse, who is sleeping with who, how a Instagram star was refused service because they were being obnoxious... I generally do not see the value of the stories on that section which is disappointing. To me those types of stories are interesting but it is not news. I know they are eye catching but feels more like buying a family size bag of tortilla chips only finding it 1/4 full of chips and 3/4 air because the product is sold by weight and not volume... I did not want the air - I wanted to chips... HOWEVER the app does most other do not - pull from sources you don’t see on others like Google News, Apple News...etc. I like SmartNews and will continue to use it as my top news aggregator but will generally avoid Top tab.

Smart News, Bias Notifications Dec 1, 2017

By Purplepunch12321

I downloaded this app because I heard good things about it. Let’s face the facts here MSN is dominated and ruled by liberal bias. You can scream and shout and say otherwise but don’t let that cognitive dissonance get in the way, it is. Conservative/Republican MSM is Fox News and A.M. radio. Thats it. I have to admit, when I first downloaded this app, The homepage was almost split with different news sources. I’d say 40-60 split with liberal news still dominate. But fair. I really enjoy the food and wine pages and some of the entertainment. It’s good to see the contrast for political stories as well. The issue is with the push notifications. Why am I constantly getting news sources pushed to me that are anti-GOP, anti-Trump, and bias news favoring the left? I mean Jesus Christ...I got a couple notifications from sources like Huffington post...they’re nothing more than a glorified blog with bias points of views and zero fact. I like the notifications on my iPhone and watch. But I’m turning them off. I’ve never seen one pro conservative news story pushed to me. There is still a bias here and it’s obvious.

Mind numbing sometimes. The ads are sometimes intrusive but they often pull a bait and switch. For instance, swimwear is featured but open the link and anything but swimwear is shown.

This used to be the best news app. A series of updates have made it absolutely frustratingly unusable constantly begging me to click things. Pretty much done with this won't do another update.Sad times especially because I would have considered buying this if that was even an option when it was in better shape. To update this specifically it is irritating to get a full page ad out of nowhere and have no option but to engage it. Meaning you literally do what everyone else does but much worse.

Big Time Liberal News Aggregator Oct 14, 2019

By Esbt123456

Look here, it’s not smart news when I have to physically add stories and sources. If you had good AI, you would know what I read and don’t read, which would give you a sense of what I am interested in, instead of spamming me with all kinds of liberal political news. And here’s the kicker, you defend your system, vice taking my recommendations to make your system better. The fact you refuse to make changes tells me that 1) the system is doing what you want, or 2) you lack the maturity and business sense to operate the business you are selling. UPDATE: Now why don’t you tell the truth? Almost all the stories are big-time left wing stories. Every once in a while you you toss in a conservative website origin story, and you call that balanced. Sometimes I would search for a conservative story and have to dig pages into searches. How about news that is not political, period? Or like I have seen quite a few liberals who think that media such as MSNBC and Huffington Post is centrists...maybe you actually believe that. Anyways, as long as you keep this business model, you will keep me away. Tried a long time but almost all the news is extreme liberal news. There is no balance...and it certainly could not figure out I want real news, not politics.

What’s Groovy

I did get caught up with low ratings. This is one of my favorite new apps. I initially rated this app five stars. It is rich with news resources and you can add your own custom news words. Then two or three weeks ago, most junk-type news seemed to be a bit more dominant. It was a lot of click bait news type. The developer might not have that much control. However, it would so refreshing to see it stay a good news source. Please minimize click bait. I will update in a few weeks

What’s Subpar

It's a wonderful app for gathering news topics of all sorts and varieties all over the world. Unfortunately, it often freezes and crashes repeatedly. (Internet connection ruled out, 120MB/s,) I am on a "dated" device, (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Android 5, but I have plenty of space available, 2GB of Ram, and a Quad core. I'm basically ruling out the device as well.) Conclusion: love the app, hate the bugs.
