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] CBS News 2/5 · US No dark mode is an example of how behind it is. STILL!: Needs to catch up on a lot of basic missing features in 2021.
2. [R4] CBS News 1/5 · US App breaks daily: Constant buffering and crashes. Even after upgrading my internet, this app is practically unusable. It constantly loses connection and dies, especially on my Apple TV. Highly disappointed
3. [R62] USA TODAY 5/5 · US great simple app w well written content: love the simplicity and functionality of this app very easy to use and customize ur reading experience
4. [R63] USA TODAY 3/5 · US Missing links and unwieldy navigating: The subscription information mentions access to 200 affiliated publications but I can’t find a link in this app. Reading the comics is awkward compared to having a complete page of comics like you’d find in a printed edition. Put the comics on one page like they appear I. Your Reno Gazette Journal
5. [R10] CBS News 2/5 · US Pages not fully loading: Many of the pages are only partially loading. Typically the starting pages load but the last half doesn’t load leaving a blank screen as I scroll through the article
6. [R64] USA TODAY 2/5 · US Super Slow Loading: I like the content of USA Today, but why does this app take about 20 seconds to load on my iPhone 16 when every other app loads almost instantly? Can you please do something about that?
7. [R113] USA TODAY 5/5 · US USA Today App: Great app, easy to navigate and very informative.
8. [R57] CBS News 2/5 · US World news & others: Programs freeze intermittently
9. [R73] USA TODAY 2/5 · US Crashing: Lately, the app has been crashing a lot. Also, it limits me on crossword puzzles per week even though I have a subscription that promised unlimited crosswords. Signing in and out or restarting my phone doesn’t seem to fix the issue.
10. [R82] USA TODAY 1/5 · US Recent Update Review: Around mid-way through scrolling and reading the news the APP starts to hesitate, stops scrolling and eventually crashes as well as actually overheating the back of the iPhone!! Just awful APP. Also for the last few weeks ever since the previous update the crossword notice that you have 2 crosswords for the week starting on Monday is wrong!! After you finish that first Monday
11. [R60] CBS News 2/5 · US Way Too Many Commercials: The number of commercials you have to watch to see any real news is just unbelievable. Truly.
12. [R67] USA TODAY 1/5 · US STOP THE ADVERTISING! AD FREE Subscription SHOULD BE AD FREE!: This is at least the 6th time I've said this. I pay for AD FREE and USA TODAY inserts ads anyway, as well as countless SHOPPING articles throughout. What a rip off! USA TODAY always shows my Ad Free Subscription as Active. Then why all the ads?
13. [R66] USA TODAY 3/5 · US Subscription process nightmare: I had a subscription for unlimited access without ads for a year. Then ads started to appear. Tried contacting USAtoday but no response. So I cancelled to subscription thinking that I would wait a while and resubscribe but that didn’t work either. When I did subscribe again, they kept asking if I wanted to subscribe! Can’t win.
14. [R70] USA TODAY 1/5 · US Not Much Better than the First Tru: Am trying again, June 2026, with USA Today but once again the thing is not so hot. I pay for the ad-free version and my account says that is in effect but I had four pop-up vid ads just trying to read the news just now. The August 2017 update is absolutely horrible. Am dumping USA app as my usual daily news source. Just horrible. Why do you always think it is
