Front size matter

I like the design of the app and fast in getting the news. However, I hope I can adjust the front size within the app instead of go to iPad setting and make the changes.

Not all of us are Americans

I have used SmartNews for many years now and the latest version is terrible. It’s forcing so much American news on us, we are not Americans and not interested in it. Also, the previous layout of having the publishers at the top tab was perfect. This is a mess.

Breaking news? Hardly!

Nice interface. But the content is better described as olds rather than news.
