Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Better than it began, but still needs improvement

    By SoperrepoS (Pcmac user)

    After getting sick of Apple New and it’s “curated” content and weird organization scheme I’ve been giving Gnews another look. Including local news is a neat feature, but doesn’t work when you present yesterday’s weather and traffic. The Thumbs Up/Down is a nice idea, but I don’t really see much change in my content tbh. Some of the content served up is a head scratcher - articles on the opposite end of the political spectrum or things that have some relation to my location, but not really to my actual interests. My biggest complaint is the repetitive content and the glut of two bit and garbage “news” outlets and blogs. I don’t need 10 articles telling me the same thing over and over and over again. Clean up your feed, focus on legit blogs and outlets, adjust to user feedback more quickly, remove irrelevant articles (old sales, weather & traffic), and this app will be a winner. Original review from years ago: This replaced the app Currents, and has been a disappointing experience. Currents was customizable in terms of content selection and was a minimalist reader for my chosen content. This new version puts emphasis on pay walled sites and serves up preconfigured sections (like a analog newspaper). They also removed the nifty drag gesture for minimizing the current selected article.
  • Ruining a perfectly good app with “new & improved”

    By AnalogDuck (Pcmac user)

    the app, are you listening? We all came to love your services for their simplicity and focus. What was wrong with the this app app which I’ve loved for years? Why are you dumping its simplicity for this over-engineered under-thought product? More and more you are rolling out offerings which feel more like products of Apple or Facebook. If I wanted dumbed-down, bloated apps that make decisions for me I would not be coming to the app for a solution. Why does this app not have a dark or night mode? Why are the articles with their pics so large I can only sew a couple or a few on my phone at a time —how hard would it be to add a menu option for a condensed headlines view? If I needed a Apple news app view, I would use the Apple News app. This is the app Reader all over again —killing off your most-beloved products in leu of something that integrates features your fan base don’t care about while dumping those that do. It would not be hard to add a traditional or classic view to this app for those users who prefer the layout they’ve been using for years with the prior this app app. I just deleted this app, and I’m not returning to it until you at least provide a sensible, condensed view free of clutter and massive article photos.
  • Too slow... gotta go

    By MrCrownCity (Pcmac user)

    The improvements are great. I had deleted the previous version because it was unreliable - some features would just randomly not work. Though the new version doesn’t seem to have that issue... I found myself waiting up to 30 seconds (or more) for an article to come up after I’d clicked on it. This is on a new phone, with the latest OS, often using WiFi at home. I tried with no other apps running - same thing. I’m surprised that no one else seems to mind the lag. Sometimes I only have 2 or 3 minutes to check the news. If I want to review more than 3 articles, It’s likely I’ll spend most of that time just standing there, staring at a processing icon. I don’t know about everyone else’s news reviewing habits, but to me, an app with this much lag time between articles is simply not useful. I’m better served using that time on email and waiting to do my news surfing on a computer. Or just using another app. The Apple news app does not have this problem at all. If the speeds were the same, I’d prefer the this app app; content and customization features are better. However, as is, I just can’t justify making the switch, as much as I’d like to - can’t afford the downtime. I’ll check it out again in another 6 months or so.
  • Review

    By Hazim Brown (Pcmac user)

    Now, this is not a complaint, but rather insight on my recent experience. Of course, the app is a wonderful app, that’s why I kept it for so long. I have one thing I just noticed today. On my iPhone SE (less than 5 months old), after charging my phone and taking it off the charger at 87% battery life, I immediately used the app. I went on one particular article and out of nowhere, the article disappeared (white screen) and my battery DROPPED to 82% in a blink of an eye. Now, I thought it’s nothing too big, went back in the article, and the same thing happens. The article disappeared (white screen) and my battery life DROPPED to 78% like a skyscraper. Of course, the first thing to pop in my head is there’s something wrong with my battery, so I check the health of it, and it’s fine. No other app does this. This is the first time something like this has happened. If this happens again, I have no choice but to delete the app. Please see into this. This is a great app, and I don’t want to delete it. Thank you.
