4/5Science News & Discoveries
Science News and Discoveries is a simple yet resourceful news source for those interested in the daily ongoing of astronomy, Earth based science, biology, individual health, physics and a bit of technology. Users have the option to customize their news feed according to the subjects they want to appear so you can simply tap into the app and be greeted by stories you are more likely to be interested in. Articles can be tagged for what you thought of them, badges and points can be earned for reading, they can be saved to read later and they can also be shared with others. The interface is easy to navigate whether you are filtering the feed by topic or just going around the menu out of interest. Science News and Discoveries is well worth a download for those interested in seeing what's new in our world as well as other worlds.

4/5Better than Fox News
A lot of fake science news pervades the app. that isn't really the apps fault so I can't blame it too much except it would be nice if "fluff" wasn't the only real option for designating that. Just like I wish it had reactions other than "troubling", "incredible", and "insightful". The frequent posters of fluff should certainly have some kind of discredit for their future postings. Also the app is quite censored in terms of the comment section which annoys me but I guess it restricts trolling and ad hominem to some extent. I'm critical and there are many possible improvements but overall this is my favorite quick access to scientific articles detailed and summarized

2/5Used to be the best!!
Used to absolutely love this app!! Was my daily source for informative and intelligent science based information. Lately unfortunately that has changed a lot. Not only is the app BLASTED with annoying and irrelevant ads and click baits that give it a very cheap and superficial feel. I understand developers need ads to cover costs, but at this level it makes it feel like the app is just using science info crawled from other sources to get some ad revenue. Also like others have said in reviews there’s a lot of bots or fake accounts that immediately flag ANY science news about climate as Fluff! Doesn’t seem like those are actual opinion because they are super fast to flag every single post about climate. Seems like a joke and looses more credibility. Especially for a science app… Hoping it goes back to be the way it was as a more serious and relevant source for scientific information.

5/5I love science. I love knowledge. I love truth.
The subjects discussed are esoteric sometimes, but very interesting. Most of the subjects discussed also, are free of politics, but that's not to say that some political party's policies aren't impacting the environment, and thus be ignored; on the contrary, some of those policies that affect the environment, such as rolling back the EPA's ability to protect our environment should be criticized as having an impact on our very existence. Global warming, I believe is real. If there is even one scintilla of truth that global warming is true, then how would explain to your family, your children or grandchildren that you voted for the guy and or political party that is now killing you? So keep the science, knowledge and the truth coming, for these things are what will come through and save the day. This I firmly believe.

1/5I love this application however it has some major flaws
I use many newsfusion apps everyday and enjoy the content they provide however, there are some problems that i have mentioned in feedback multiple times an got no response. The first problem is that sources you block still give you notifications about articles from that source and when you click on it it changes to a different article. Another issue is that instead of getting a few notification over a reasonable amount of time say 30 sec to a few minutes, you get 4-10 notifications all back to back over lapping each other before you can even read the previous one. In newsfusion defense there is a bug where you try to share an article the application freezes. There are bugs with rotating content and ui layers overlapping or covering each other. I love these apps and the freedom they bring, but it fells like the devs don't care.

Not only is the app BLASTED with annoying and irrelevant ads and click baits that give it a very cheap and superficial feel. I understand developers need ads to cover costs, but at this level it makes it feel like the app is just using science info crawled from other sources to get some ad revenue. Also like others have said in reviews there’s a lot of bots or fake accounts that immediately flag ANY science news about climate as Fluff! Doesn’t seem like those are actual opinion because they are super fast to flag every single post about climate. Seems like a joke and looses more credibility. Especially for a science app… Hoping it goes back to be the way it was as a more serious and relevant source for scientific information.",

          "body": "The subjects discussed are esoteric sometimes, but very interesting. Most of the subjects discussed also, are free of politics, but that's not to say that some political party's policies aren't impacting the environment, and thus be ignored; on the contrary, some of those policies that affect the environment, such as rolling back the EPA's ability to protect our environment should be criticized as having an impact on our very existence. Global warming, I believe is real. If there is even one scintilla of truth that global warming is true, then how would explain to your family, your children or grandchildren that you voted for the guy and or political party that is now killing you? So keep the science, knowledge and the truth coming, for these things are what will come through and save the day. This I firmly believe.",

          "body": "I use many newsfusion apps everyday and enjoy the content they provide however, there are some problems that i have mentioned in feedback multiple times an got no response. The first problem is that sources you block still give you notifications about articles from that source and when you click on it it changes to a different article. Another issue is that instead of getting a few notification over a reasonable amount of time say 30 sec to a few minutes, you get 4-10 notifications all back to back over lapping each other before you can even read the previous one. In newsfusion defense there is a bug where you try to share an article the application freezes. There are bugs with rotating content and ui layers overlapping or covering each other. I love these apps and the freedom they bring, but it fells like the devs don't care.",
