Reuters News 12+

I have not been a fan of the latest updates, but I kept the app on my phone because Reuters is a non-bias source for news. That all said the last half dozen updates have been terrible. The new interface is harder to navigate and not as easy to read as the older versions. Another big reason I initially used this app was because I could put a news widget on my homepage. Now all of a sudden the widget has been removed. Very disappointing. It seems as though the developers updates are taking features away in an effort to streamline the look and feel of the app. All those efforts have resulted in an app that I use less, because features have been removed and it is more difficult to navigate to see the news I’m interested in. I went ahead and downloaded the AP News app which unfortunately does not have a news widget, but seems to be easier to navigate and organized better to make for easy reading, and navigation. I’ll continue to have both on my phone, but I find myself using the Reuters news app less and less every month. if they brought back the homepage widget, I would probably use this app more.

I love Reuters news and reporting; I have truly gotten so much value from the accessible and unbiased journalism over the years. Unfortunately, I will no longer be getting my news from Reuters, which is truly a shame in a society plagued by bias, inaccessibility, and lack of integrity.

I categorically refuse to support pay-walled news, and now the app is useless to me. I was frustrated when I was first required to Register and account to view stories, but I was willing to give up my data/identity because I understand that registration enables more revenue to be extracted from advertisements and data. I wasn't happy about it but tolerated it given how ubiquitous it is in the modern tech landscape.

What I don't accept is suddenly seeing that I cannot access stories without paying a $4 monthly subscription. Seriously? I can honestly say I would likely have donated of my own free will, after all I can afford to and it's the least, I could do after getting so much value. But I refuse to support an organization which is gatekeeping news and knowledge behind a paywall. I guess 150% increase in stock price in the last 5 years was not sufficient. Sources like AP, NPR, and ProPublica will have my support. I'm sure I am a minority opinion on his topic, but I would encourage anyone reading this to do the same.

I have been using Reuters as my primary news source for 6 years now because as an American… our national news sources are nauseating and annoying. Reuters with its very fact-based and neutral reporting of the events is so refreshing for an American like me. I truly love and rely on this platform to keep me informed.
But I’m writing this because I’m heart broken to see that with the new update they decided to go with a “social media style” scroll through the videos instead of the autoplay feature they used to have. I loved the autoplay. I would put it on in the morning while I get ready. Now I have to scroll to each video it only plays for 10-15 seconds then I click it, an ad plays and then the video. Then back out to the scrolling and start the whole process over again. Frustrating. Please, bring back the auto play for videos. I’m totally ok with watching an ad in between each one, if I can just have the option to let all the videos play. Thanks!
