Volv – News in 9 seconds

However I found it laggy on my Xr. And I’d like to see a bit of customisation on news categories that I want to see in my feed. Maybe favourite news sources as well as blacklist in the future. Overall well done!

I love the idea of the app it is nice and simple, I like that with in seconds I fell more informed. The design is very nice and simple not like other apps that overwhelm me with to much info at a time. Sadly on my phone the app is always crashing or the screen is lacking, I don’t know if it is a problem from the app or from my phone but if this can get fixed I would give the app 5 stars.

Gefällt mir sehr gut!

I’ve had the app for at least a year now, maybe longer. It constantly is unable to refresh the feed. Sometimes it just shows me nothing.. needs a lot of work

Until recently, this app did what a bite-size news app should: provide quick summaries of news items, along with source links so you can learn more. But now, they’ve removed source links. So the depth of the app is gone, as is any form of attribution. You can’t trust anything in the app, because you can’t see where it came from. At best, this is stealing content without crediting the source; at worst, they may be summarizing content from thoroughly untrustworthy sources and passing it off as truth. Or just making it up entirely. There’s no way to tell. Either way, the ability to read more was key. By embedding the link browser within the app, it made the entire experience sticky and valuable. Not anymore. The other changes to the app are fine. There’s a paid tier, and news items that are clearly ads. They need to monetize, and those are reasonable strategies. But I wouldn’t recommend the app to anybody now.

Smart content bite sized and made for me

I used to enjoy this app for bite-sized news snippets in a modern format, but all the articles (and *especially* the notifications) have turned into nonstop shameless clickbait. I get plenty of “You’ll never believe what Celebrity A did this time…!” or “Guess who just revealed they are actually an extraterrestrial?!” in the checkout line, thanks.

The apps notifications are not working and keeps toggling off every time I exit the app. I tried to send feedback through the app feedback option and that too is broken and the button wont send.

Really loving this simple quick news app. Great balance of interesting articles and news I actually want to read. Keep it up!

I really like about 60% of the content shared on this site. The concept is great to have summarize new stories with the option to link to the actual full story. If you want more reading, they do a great job with this. I’m getting multiple news genres all at once in a few sentences is pretty great. The downside is the articles are politically biased, which I was hoping to avoid.
