Good News Network

This is now the most horribly ad-infested app that I know. Ads at the bottom, ads in between and, worst of all, lots and lots of popups from doubleclick.net. I'm usually tolerant, but this is really bad. Deleting now.

It's important to balance oneself out in regards to all the negative news stories. This is why I need to do my nightly ritual of scrolling through GNN for some goodness in the world. To let my brain know that the drama in only a small but loud portion of media.

Great app with an even greater intention. If we are ever going to change the world, this the type of news we need. Motivating and energizong to make you feel more love towards the world and to your fellow humans. Keep upp the good work!

While reading certain articles, the entire screen will be taken over by a pop-up ad periodically.

I’m with you Partytyme! I’m so tired of seeing, hearing, and reading so much negativity! The world can’t possibly be such a bad place! Enter Good News Network into my life and WOW! I’m so grateful! Plus I’m learning new things with each article I read! I left the evening news and the many news apps I HAD, in favor of this one! You do a great job with the articles you provide! Keep up the good work and thank you!

Please give us the option for a dark background. The white just burns my eyeballs when I try to read it at night. Which is primarily when I read. Five stars otherwise. Love the positivity.

There are more pop ads now than there is good news. It’s now worse than the global news we’re all trying to avoid. Too aggressive to deal with. Too bad was a great source for science news but I’m going elsewhere. Thanks for all the past great news though!

I can understand ads to help make an app pay for itself but isn’t there some law that you have to actually click on the ad for it to open? I tried to read one story and I had 2-3 ads just randomly open. It’s annoying enough I am going to remove the app. The stories are a good selection of positive news but there are only a handful a day, not enough to actually pay to remove the ads.

All the details below are completely true. But a major caveat is the screen take over pop up ads. I can understand all manner of ads but these are so aggressive and pop up every 10 secs. It’s truly aggravating. I suppose they make so bad so you either subscribe to 2.99 per month or you just never open it again. Seems like there could be a middle ground? Perhaps not. With the onslaught of never ending news cycles focused on all the negative things happening around is, GNN is a beacon. Good things happen everyday too, and we all have far more in common than we are constantly led to believe. I like that they list sources and the stories aren't fluff pieces. I think my stress level has been slashed in half after rotating this news in.

The ads are annoying. They click themselves randomly and constantly. Also, there is a clear bias at time politically in certain articles. This takes much away from the experience.
