What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R1] SmartNews 1/5 · US Scrolling, your app sucks!: Scrolling down while reading an article, if you’re not perfect in scrolling down it switches to to all the headlines. Then you have to pick your article again and again and again. Very frustrating
2. [R7] SmartNews 1/5 · US Clickbait?: Clickbait. Doesn’t show the headline you’re clicking on. Just keeps you wandering around looking for your story. Many times never to find it. Deleting SmartNews off all my devices.
3. [R18] SmartNews 3/5 · US Mr.: So many times when I click on a notification, I don’t get transferred to the article but instead to the home page.
4. [R40] SmartNews 1/5 · US Content is great: Content is great. I enjoy most of what I read. But, the mere one star rating is because articles don’t open or drop mid-reading. While this could be attributed to a weak WiFi signal I have no trouble with Apple News.
5. [R9] SmartNews 3/5 · US Mixed: Good content. Too many ads.
6. [R10] SmartNews 2/5 · US Semi useful at best: Smart News started of with delivering decent and interesting news. Then it jumped the shark by sensationalizing their headlines without following up with matching content. There are headines that make you think there is a video included, and there is not, or it's just an ad video, multiplied many times as you scroll. Then there are the imbedded ads for scam products that they
7. [R19] SmartNews 1/5 · US Way too many biases and ads: I’m not sure how adding auto add popping up constantly help to sell anything!! All it does is irritate the reader. Trying to scroll the news and accidentally somehow touching one of the MANY advertisements… at what point does reader education trump greed??
8. [R21] SmartNews 3/5 · US Popups again: Mostly garbage news sources these days. And full page popups are back. Nope nope nope. Delete. Update: Developers respond to requests, so that's nice. Wanted to be able to block specific publishers to try and limit the fluff and sure enough they added the feature. Current issue keeping me from using the iPad app at all now, and to some degree the iPhone as well, is the damn gamif
9. [R4] SmartNews 2/5 · US Not what at once was: When I first got SmartNews, I enjoy being able to see news from both sides. However, the app is becoming much more leaning to one side more than the other. After leaving this review, I actually plan on deleting the app and finding something that that leans less than this
10. [R13] SmartNews 1/5 · US Bias: As usual the smart news is bias. I am tired of you bashing President Trump and the Republican Party and the articles about Melania are cruel. I will be looking for another news source that will be more about the news not bashing the republicans.
11. [R16] SmartNews 1/5 · US Smart News is a Front for USA Bias against American Values people have spilt their blood defending.: I have been a reader of Smart News for a long time. But I am finished. Your Bias against or President who I never voted for and you never cease criticizing with more radicalized articles does not get a fair chance against your concerted barrage along with the communist and left wing zealots who pub
12. [R22] SmartNews 2/5 · US Every thing that Trump does is wrong. Clear case of of TDS😡: Iran is winning the war on this forum 💁😁
13. [R15] SmartNews 3/5 · US Incorrect titles on news articles: Wondering if any proofreading is performed on news articles as titles and articles sometimes have glaring differences in content. For instance, the Justin Choy written article from the New York post from 2 days ago has a title about Paradise, California and content about Carmel by the Sea, California- 2 completely different cities.
14. [R20] SmartNews 4/5 · US Too sensational: I especially like your reporting, which is up-to-date, about Donald Trump. I do feel some of your facts are slightly exaggerated and the Charged language titles pull you in. The article itself doesn’t really seem to be as exciting as your title.
15. [R30] SmartNews 3/5 · US Electronic “Enquirer”: A little bit of everything, including sensationalism, recycled stories, and the possibility of an element of truth in most stories. Don’t take anything as gospel.
16. [R24] SmartNews 3/5 · US Review: My phone gets hot when I on the app. Too much tracking
17. [R25] SmartNews 1/5 · US Can’t adjust video feed: I wish there were a way to tell the app “I don’t like this video” or “I do like this video; show me more like this” it’s available for articles but not videos
18. [R36] SmartNews 3/5 · US Bad links: All of the links that go to TikTok don’t work. Links go to completely different story.
19. [R51] El Nuevo Día 1/5 · US Un mal periódico …: Mala aplicación, barata y difícil de recuperar información dentro de la plataforma. Mal periódico, pero es el único en Puerto Rico. Muy cara para lo que ofrecen.
20. [R52] El Nuevo Día 5/5 · US Excelente noticias: Excelentes Noticias y actualizadas
21. [R54] El Nuevo Día 1/5 · US Azul: Es inaudito la falta de balance editorial de esta publicación que en gran medida solo destaca perspectivas izquierdistas y antiamericanas
22. [R55] El Nuevo Día 5/5 · US Sin duda el mejor periódico: Brinda más información facilitando entendimiento da mucho detalles
23. [R65] Univision Noticias 2/5 · US Liberal: Es una canal con favoritismo a la información de los liberales. No es un canal como en los años 80’s. Lástima
24. [R66] Univision Noticias 5/5 · US Thanks: Noticias gives the news and nothing but the news without bias. It’s true journalism.

27. [R81] Spanish & English for Kids 3/5 · US Doesn’t always work: A lot of the icons go nowhere, even the initial unlocked lessons are frozen.
28. [R82] Spanish & English for Kids 1/5 · US Faulty app: Even if you choose the right pieces for the puzzle it keeps buzzing saying it’s not the correct pieces. At first I thought my kid was choosing the wrong puzzle pieces till I tried it come to find out the app is just garbage I would like a refund please
29. [R83] Spanish & English for Kids 5/5 · US Awesome: This app is very helpful to learn English and Spanish and many other languages. My daughter loves.
30. [R84] Spanish & English for Kids 3/5 · US Good but you have to pay 🤬: Only half of the stuff is free but you have to pay 4 dollars for the rest of them. But overall it’s a good game
31. [R92] Spanish & English for Kids 5/5 · US Gogog: Excelente gogogogogogogogogogogogogog xxx xxx xxx porkis
32. [R93] Ella Verbs 1/5 · US Conjugation quizzes: This app used to be a great tool to study verbs. why do I have to pay to quiz myself on other conjugations besides the present? I understand they need money to have to app running & to improve the app but that’s wild to me. I understood only allowing the top 100 verbs to be study and having to pay to study more of them. But conjugations tho.
33. [R94] Ella Verbs 5/5 · US incredible app - today felt like a miracle: I just leveled up from Level 8 to Level 9 ☀️ I’m so grateful to Level 8 for teaching me about “ser” and “estar”. I’ve been making mistakes with those two verbs in my free Duolingo app, and my scores in Duo are improving because of Ella Verbs!!! 😄 Now in Level 9, I’m learning additional important verbs that I’m enjoying the sound of 😂 And then in the ne
34. [R96] Ella Verbs 5/5 · US Fantastic App!: This app is fantastic for intermediates who want to perfect their conjugation. I love the high degree of customization for the quizzes. It really allows me to hone in on weak points and target train. The stats are also helpful indicators and the lessons are good for grammar refreshers. This app would also be excellent for a beginners, but I focus my review on intermediates just bec
35. [R107] Argentine Newspapers 1/5 · US Adds in newer version: Please remove the annoying Norton Antivirus add from the 620 version (655) as there is no way to close it within the app.
36. [R108] Argentine Newspapers 5/5 · US Buenísima !!!: Estando en el exterior ,la mejor para mantenerse informado.!!!Juanjo Montecastro
37. [R109] Argentine Newspapers 3/5 · US Problemas de actualización: Útil aplicación pero desde la última actualización ya no la puedo abrir. Por favor arreglar!
38. [R110] Argentine Newspapers 1/5 · US Too many ads this month: It was working fine until last month when I started to be interrupted by ads everywhere! Why did you change it? People is going to move to other apps.
39. [R101] Ella Verbs 5/5 · US Literally the Best: Honestly, when it comes to learning verbs, there’s no app as good as this one. The ability to work my way through each level, review decaying tenses, and practice both the verbs through flash cards and conjugating them through lessons is awesome.
40. [R57] El Nuevo Día 1/5 · US App. No Sirve es muy Costosa $$$: El App. es muy Cotoso $$$ Aumentan constantemente el Costo $$$ de acceso al App. No permite leer noticias. Con tantos Ingresos por Publicidad que recibe el App. y aumentan sin Justificación su Costo $$$ con frecuencia.
41. [R63] El Nuevo Día 1/5 · US Periódico muy costoso: Pobre información y pocos temas de interés. Existen otra opciones libre de costo y mejor.
