For a kid my age it’s amazing how much I can learn from about my sport and different things going in our world to be kept up to date and that it’s mainly free and you don’t need to pay money to get stories. Amazing app 10/10 recommend
Better than anything i tried

Usually i would just hear news on the tv, and then the part i wanna hear gets unheard….So then i always go and research it, but that takes too much of my time. Thats when i found this gosh dang amazing app ever. Its so organized which i love, but i do wish there was canadian politics, but im hoping thats coming soon
This is PEAK

I have had this app for a month now and it is so good there is no adds at all and it is so worth having it if you are always looking on websites or other apps with a bunch of adds. Thank you sooo much for not having adds on your app🤩🔥👍
Great app, hoping for continued support going forward

By far the most streamlined and simple way to get the facts on current events. Hoping to have an option to see Canadian Politics and maybe other topics to switch out the ones I’m less interested in.
Developer Response
Thank you - really glad the streamlined approach is working for you. Canadian Politics specifically isn't covered yet, but expanding regional coverage as we grow is on our radar. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
Bug fixes and performance improvements.
