Ratings and Reviews
Handy News Digest.
A convenient way to start the day with your preference of news sources. My only criticism: Updates slow in coming. My version started slipping from one podcast to another, before each was complete(while my Iphone warned that the app version needed to be updated). Eventually, the app must have been updated, because it stopped skipping through the podcasts.
Part of My Morning Routine for 8 years!
I’ve been using this app almost every day since 2012 to get caught up on the news from all parts of the political spectrum and continents. The included news reports are great in their variety, and the ability to add additional radio news feeds makes it possible to listen to news from around the world like 🇺🇦, 🇭🇰, 🇿🇦 and 🇳🇿.
App is easy to use, though can be a little finicky. For anyone that has the issue of the app starting to play in the background, it is because it just received a new hourly update. Force close the app to avoid it. Otherwise, I love this app and am so happy the developer continues to support this invaluable and unique app!
Thank you!
Big Fan
This app is so customizable and comes with a good collection of news sources to draw news report audio from. And if you have a specific source you would like to add to your collection, you can! Albeit, for a buck but hey, it stays with the app once and for all! Thank you people who made this, you help me keep up to date with global matters and local matters in a fantastic format! I only review apps that I find nearly indispensable, this is one of them.
