Hoping someone from Newser actually sees this.. I have been using the app daily for years and love it! However recently it has changed such that when I click a link to a different story within one on the app it redirects me to safari to read the next story instead of staying in the app! Guessing this is a ploy to make more ad money but it is very inconvenient and leaves me with far too many open pages on safari. Obnoxious! Please fix this problem to the way it was before and keep me in the app! Thanks

I’ve been a Newser website and app fan for years and told countless people about Newser...however, no more. Their app used to be streamlined with appropriate ads between news story paragraphs. Now when I open the app and click on a story, I’m either redirected to the App Store to download something, or I get a pop up full screen video (this time it’s just a video of a dog looking around...really).The developer response is that ‘these ads are not sanctioned’...that’s nonsense. I can’t blame Nwerser like many other news publishers or aggregates who are struggling to pull revenue in with advertisements - so of course they’re sanctioned - the Newser app team just hasn’t been able to roll them out effectively or is sloppy in their product testing.I keep trying to give the Newser app the benefit of the doubt because the developers seem to respond to comments and feedback...but the issues just seem to return again and again. Thank you for the years of an outstanding product, Newser. Unfortunately (and for some time now), that is no longer the case.

This is a tip for the iPad app(iPad Air in my case). The iPhone app doesn’t have this problem. I have been using the iPad app and every time after I finished reading an article I would click what I thought was the back button at the top left of the app, but it was taking me to the top of the news list not to where I had scrolled down to in the news list. This for me was very annoying as I had to re-scroll all the way down to where I was in the news list which sometimes required a lot of scrolling and then I had to keep doing this after every article…super annoying. So, if you’re having this problem then read on.Here’s the tip that will make using this iPad app a lot less frustrating:On each article page located at the top left there is a “back arrow” button AND also a “Newser” button. They don’t really look like buttons but they are and they look something like this:< Newser So just click the back arrow button and you’ll go back to where you left off in the news list or click the Newser button and it will take you to the top of the list. Easy enough when you realize they are two different buttons. Also, I found out that you can back swipe(start on left side and swipe toward the right) and it will also take you to your last place in the news list. I hope this helps. I’ve been using the iPhone app for many years and love it and I never had this problem on the iPhone. And that’s because both buttons(or maybe it’s just one big button) on the iPhone app takes you back to where you last were in the news article list. It’s a slight but meaningful difference between the two apps that I think should be standardized to the iPhone app method. I upgrade my star rating to 5 stars but suggest to Newser that they standardize the apps based on the iPhone method as I believe it would result in a lot less frustration for the iPad app users. Personally, I almost uninstalled the iPad app because I was so frustrated.

I met someone who worked for newser on a flight to Austin 3-4 four years ago and have been using it since. Just deleted it because it keeps opening the App Store to try and get me to download something related to an ad. I don't like being forced to view ads but it was a great app otherwise. I don't know the intricacies of ads but I'm sure they're necessary to stay in business so I'm not upset at them. Thank you to the newser team for years of great bite sized news updates. Couldn't give it anything less than 5 stars because up until now the app was great.
