1. 5/5Newsy is Fast Becoming My Favorite Source for News

   I found Newsy while channel surfing on cable TV. At first, I wasn’t quite sure what I thought of their stripped down newscasts - not overloaded with unnecessary graphics and information. However, within a few short months Newsy has become one of my most watched news networks. Newsy reminds me of what news was like in the mid twentieth century (1950s-1960s) when news broadcasts were on black and white TV. Nothing fancy, just the news, and opinions were clearly noted as such. I’ve been watching Newsy on cable TV and via this app. The simplicity of their newsroom set is a welcome change from the noise being spewed on most other networks. Keep up the good work. I’d give you more than 5 stars if I could.

2. 4/5User friendly!

   Excellent app to use for quick snaps of information and customizable to the user’s interests. No ads, that is a huge plus side to the news world, as I feel like I can trust the content is is geared to inform the consumer of both arguments, as well as provide the information needed to give the user an educated thought, while provoking the thought of finding out more. The only reason for rating it four stars is the push notification functionality. I fine on my iPhone 8, that when I push to open it plays the same video twice at the same time with an echo. I’m watching the one, while there is another open and playing, causing an echo. That leads me to close the the app and search for the story, which can be time consuming. Otherwise, it’s an excellent way to be informed and super easy to use!

3. 5/5Trusted news source

   I did a class in undergrad titled “Media, Politics, and Propaganda”. The primary focus of class work was how media influences thinking, not only in what is carried as “newsworthy” but also what isn’t, and how these choices influence political thinking and discourse within society. For those who aren’t aware, “Public Relations” and “Influence” are the watered down, “politically correct” terms for the concept most laypeople call propaganda. I’ve found nothing from this news service to indicate biased reporting - that doesn’t mean it’s not possible, but it means that to a somewhat educated eye, it’s not completely obvious the way other providers are.

4. 3/5Ios feedback for Voice Over users

   Hello, i am writing through this applet cause the feedback option in the newsy app doesnt work it will not accept email from an unknown sender any reply i try through that option comes back undelivered. Anyway.. As a blind accessibility user with Voice Over from Apple which let me run my finger over the screen and gives audio feedback to blind people knowing what is on the screen, its awesome!! Unfortunately the newsy app will not give audio feedback on the 'watchlist preferences' so its impossibble for a Voice Over user to know which topic or item is selected On or Off, the app works great except from that part and i like the content newsy is giving me. Just a little reminder :) thank you so much if you could address this issue Mak

5. 5/5Finally, somewhere to get news, not agendas.

   For the last several years I had actually stopped listening or watching the news. It didn’t matter which major news chain I watched, every single reporter had to skew the facts to forward their own opinion or agenda. I just want the facts and be able to make up my own mind. I hate the belittling and negativity that comes from anyone with an opposing opinion (regardless if that opposing opinion was liberal or conservative). All major news chains have succumbed to this poor behavior. And it is unfortunate. I’m grateful I found a news station that just states the facts and I can now, once again, be an informed citizen.
