PinkNews | LGBTQ+ News 12+

omg

i bloody love this app !!! it’s layout is classy and simple but a little flamboyant , the articles are beautifully written , no waffling , minimal ads , beautiful title pictures , and accurate ! i feel so productive and up-to-date using this , i finally have a reliable source to learn about my people’s matters and educate others too. it’s so diverse too , ranging from topics based in america to iran , gay people to trans people , old events to ones that happened days ago, very serious and under-discussed matters to funny stories and experiences. if you’re on the fence , take this as your sign to get it now !! whether you’re LGBTQIA+ , an ally or learning how to be an ally , it has articles for whatever you need. i’m not the slightest bit embarrassed because i’m gushing about this app like it’s my prom date for good reason xx

love it 💕

this has everything from shopping ideas (i loved the dolly parton themed one!!) to politics - really the only reason i am up to date on anything.
if you are a member of the lgbtq+ community or just want to stay updated i REALLY RECOMMEND
articles are easy to read and well written, aesthetics are cute and simple, merch is actually not bad, covers every news topic necessary - britney progress (#freebritney), pride, discrimination in different countries (eg hungary’s leaked bill)
really helps raise awareness and keep us all updated on our favourite queens
also good drag race coverage haha; absolutely adored the meme series for every episode of druk
all in all i would definitely recommend 🥵

Developer Response ,

Wow thanks so much for the glittering review! You've made our day with your lovely comments 💖 😘 🌈

This is not an improvement!

Regurgitating the same news under different headings is not helpful. Almost illegible text over pictures doesn't make it easy to scan through news items. 5 items only in top stories isn't good. Flicking through 14 categories for the news is insane! Why is there no option to have a proper chronological news feed? That is what made the previous version great. When I open the app I want to see news straight away not a sign in page. I don't like endless 'flicking' through things either. It has also frozen up and crashed a couple of times so far. Add to that a stupid unicorn and now not displaying news at all but I see the section to buy a load of cheap rubbish is still accessible.

Developer Response ,

Hello!

Thank you so much for getting in touch and sharing your feedback. If possible please could you let us know the device you are using for the app? You can email appfeedback@pinknews.co.uk that way we can see if we can reproduce some of these issues and fix them. We are not currently aware of any text over images or crashing so we'd like to find out how/where/why this is happening to you.

In terms of the newsfeed, the first screen you see once you enter the app (there is no sign in) is a chronological newsfeed called "latest". This newsfeed can be filtered using the categories you mentioned, thus why some stories will appear in multiple places.

We are a small in-house team and are keen to keep updating and improving our little app to create the best experience for our readers so we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

All the best,
Sarah
