1. 5/5Newsbreak

   Completely biased towards the left, like almost ALL media and news sources, except for one, which is why they all CONSTANTLY pick on and bully the one that is truthful and goes against their ridiculous and evil agenda. Don't fall for their lies, and don't bother downloading. Edit: After receiving the developers response, I now understand that they don’t actually publish any of the news stories, they just gather them from the (fake) news sources, so I’ve updated my review. And while I now have nothing against this app, the sheer number of liberal news outlets and articles, just goes to show that we do have a major problem with biased lefty news sources in the US, trying to push their agenda and propaganda. The left runs almost all media, news, and tech, in a very obvious effort to control the flow of (dis)information in their favor, towards their narrative. Then they try to beat the single news outlet that actually reports news that is closer to the truth, down, and into submission. It’s actually quite sickening, but is sadly working, considering all the left wing sheeple who, instead of thinking for themselves for once, have turned their back on the truth, and aid the left wing media in bullying the single right wing news source, and anyone who happens to also be right wing. We seriously need to do something about this. And the “woke” seriously needs to wake up. But none of this is this developers fault, I'm just saying this in the hopes that people will start opening their eyes, although I'm sure that is probably too much to hope for...

2. 5/5Fun app. Sometimes unique stories.

   Overall this app has improved tenfold since their debut. From the daily updates and the more often than not glitching, they’ve really come a long way (and I’m actually editing a previously posted poor review, unbeknownst until I just was reminded when I saw the existing one when I went to leave a review). It would be nice to have a little more control over what posts your entire friend feed receives and which one’s it doesn’t- for example, if someone has 50 followers, they may just want a casual, less thought out post that they don’t necessarily want everyone of their followers to get a text notification for should they have text notifications for NewsBreak app enabled, like I presume many like myself, do). It would be nice to be able to curtail which posts they receive in their feed, so that, I can be more selective with what gets sent out to everyone, so like followers don’t read the first 7 posts your made and 5 of them are like random one off observations not worth the time it takes to click them, and stop reading your posts. To be able to only let them see the two you know were worth their time would be wonderful!

3. 3/5I can’t really find a better app so...

   So this app is pretty good for the most part. I've been using it for a while now and have a few gripes however. The application itself has a pretty user friendly interface but there's definitely room for improvement. I think a aesthetically it could use some updating. I really enjoy the fact that it provides news from varying resources but offers a platform in which you can create a dialogue. Another issue I have though is that it often doesn't provide breaking news at fast enough speeds per my preferences, or at least the notifications don't alert me of any of it until at least three hours after the app has it posted...not having the notification alert me of local news coverage in a timely manner sets me up for failure a lot because, for example, I live in an area very close to an accident prone part of the freeway and am alerted on this app of accidents in this area...when I don't receive the notifications of these situations at the correct time and I leave to run an errand I end up getting backed up and arrive late to my destination. I know there's other apps I can rely on for traffic information but I'm the kind of person who would rather rely on one app to do what I need it to rather than a series of them that essentially report on the same things. Now, for news that's local this app does offer a lot regardless of the timeliness of their notifications and I'm probably going to continue to use it, but yes there is room for improvement for sure. Can't wait to see if any of this ends up resolved in later updates.

4. 5/5NewsBreak app is non-compliant with its own community guidelines

   This app show should receive ZERO stars because it does not adhere to its own community guidelines and bogus features within app are non-functional. Under “Content Preferences AI-summarized Content Control” there are three options of supposed choice: Allow (default); Limit; and Disable. I checked “disable” yet it remained on “Allow”. Within less than five minutes a random video of an obese, black woman is seen jumping into the trunk of her vehicle as a tiger sprints towards her in the U.S.A. Research on reputable news platforms noted that this is AI generated and not based upon facts. NewsBreaks guidelines under “False, Misleading or Fraudulent Content” & “Hateful Behavior” says in part: “ we do not allow creators to publish altered media intended to confuse, harm, and mislead.” Why is this fake news app targeting black women & the obese promoting hateful, dehumanizing stereotypes that are reminiscent of the Jim Crow Era? This app is worst than social media platforms. Deep Fake news. Abuse and Misuse of constitutional rights. Worst than many old tabloids. Disgusting

5. 3/5I want to love it

   It's a useful app, I'm not saying it isn't. However, there are some really frustrating flaws. 1.Any time you comment a photo, the quality is dropped drastically. This means that for many photos, if there's text in them, it'll be pointless once it's smaller than a certain size. 2.It only allows you to attach one photo per comment. This is combined with the first issue makes it really frustrating when you're trying to show someone information. 3.You can't comment links. 4.If you swear in a comment, other people will not be able to see the comment. This in itself is flawed as it also blocks other words that aren't even swear words, and groups them together. 5.The notifications tab is unable to be sorted, which is frustrating as it has a limit to how many notifications are able to be on the tab at once. This leads to many being unseen. 6.Due to issue 5, you may rely on going through your own reactions to go check and see if people replied to them manually. This is an issue if you comment the same thing more than once on one post, as only one will show in the reactions tab. 7.Log in issues. I literally cannot access my account any other way than through my app directly. No way to change my password to see if that's an issue.

   You say to download and I pressed it but it doesn't work so I'm guessing you don't have a suitable way for me to complete the loading!!!
