"Looks okay but after browsing for half an hour I realised I haven`t actually finished a single article as it has bugs and jumps about and loads pages and scrolls and asks you to continue reading in app even though that`s where you are and takes you back to the start. Also a lot of the articles read like clickbait."

"Don`t really see the use of it. Works as bad as the Bing app. Worthless to try and send a link to someone since the app sends only a picture from the link."

"Great app,provides many features in one . Only problem is pesky reminders popup on weather , to set reminders for best results. It doesn`t have an check box option to don`t show this again. The other is, you always get additional locations automatically selected with the ones you select for local weather .It seems to be random defult. That needed to be fixed.News media auto plays the next video ,and cannot be selected for only that one video when scrolling. This wastes data , and server usage ."

"Generic recycled articles and old, outdated news and topics. This is the same problem I have with smart news news break. The only current news topics are things so outrageous and unimportant that I don`t care to view them."

"The only reason I downloaded this was to get $ from scanning receipts. The OCR is terrible, rarely getting the required retailer name, date, and total spent, often requiring retake after retake after retake, just to get 1 cent per receipt. Not worth the trouble, and lord knows how they`re using my personal information, which, I avoid including (e.g., credit card #, name/addr, etc)."
