SmartNews Reviews
Hangs on too many ads
The system frequently hangs while waiting for ads. Fewer ad slots will do this application a lot of good. Reading a paragraph then scrolling past an ad then repeat is not helpful.
App does not run on iPad mini
Just quits after starting
Comment
Top page is not editable that wasting my time
A bit cramped
Layout is a little cramped and long headlines can get cut off
Unbiased News
News and articles are presented as it unfold, allow readers to read related news from various sources to fully comprehend what are going on, most important give readers the necessary information to decide what to believe or reject the information. Enlighten Reader
Great News App
It’s fantastic and versatile.
I love the app, but...
Please please allow an option to disable Right Swipe when an article is opened, and also include a view of history of articles viewed. Too many annoying incidents of error in swiping, and losing the article due to not being able to view the history.
It's good and easy to use.
It's good and easy to use. I use it for my daily dose of global news and updates. 👍🏻
Good News Reading App
This is a good news reading app, fast and responsive, wide scope but too European biased, lacking news from Asia.
