MSN (Start) FAQ
Is MSN (Start) free?
Yes, MSN (Start) is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is MSN (Start) legit?
🤔 The MSN (Start) app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Tldr: needs a ads report feature, not fully optimized for ipad, there are some layout/content reading issues, coin system is useless (but kinda fun). All in all though it works fine for the job. 3.5 stars. Recommended with an asterix.
This version of the app always constantly refreshes back to the homescreen when you go in and out of the app! Annoying!
I still think they could perhaps better the content-reading layout in ipad-app homescreen, but even the startscreen no longer takes advantage of the larger screen on ipad. There is plenty of room for a third column on the ipad in landscape mode. It just looks like a one-size-fits all layout for both iphone and ipad now, although its not the worst. Themes are still limited, but the clean look is nice.
layout issues have improved, but there are still too many instances of news articles overlapping or content not showing properly.
Some ads are still too oversized, just like the initial images for each newsarticle. There needs to be a resizer built-in so these images dont cover 60% of my screen, ensuring alot of needless scrolling to actually reach the content.
That said, the main issue i have right now is that this app have no way of blocking unwanted scams. Yes, actual creditcard-stealing scams are being shown as regular ads on this app. With there being no way to report them in-app, I will decrease my rating by a star.
The coin system is useless in practice, but still kinda fun. They couldve made it so you could purchase new themes or looks with coins instead of offering giftcards that can take years to get, if ever.
I rate this 3.5 stars. Since that is not possible with Apples antiquated review system, I will be generous and place it at 4 stars.

Currency converter is crucial.
That is one crucial functionality many of similar apps lacking. Msn money app had it and it finally does not work.
Please bring the functionality into this great app

Dækker en stor andel af mit nyhedsbehov, er tilfreds med oplysningerne 👍
It can still be improved.
EDIT2: its better with the misclicks on ads now. Ads are still massive. This version of the app now constantly refreshes back to the homescreen when you go out of the app! Annoying!
I still think they could perhaps better the layout in ipad-app homescreen, but its certainly better than last review. Will update this as newer versions come out.
EDIT:
upon having used it for a fair while since the new format was presented, layout issues, especially with pictures are a glaring problem. Too many misclicks, and too often its due to little space to scroll when reading.
Since this review is purely based on the app and not the actual content, i wont mention it here. I can however say that ads are frankly too oversized, just like the other pictures. The fact that you cam change the layout styles is interested, but limited. I still rate this 4 stars
Old review: much, much better than before. the scrolling throught the articles are actually smooth now. the clean look is much better, by which i mean that it now has a new interface. i REALLY wish for a third column when scrolling in landscape mode on an ipad. That would make this a 5 star for me
