Customer Reviews
Smart News
Like looking at Smart News. It has some news you don't really hear about very much. I'm not a fan of the main steam media so please keep to just telling the news like it is without your opinions or your own spins. Refreshing.
Many sources are questionable.
The underlying concept of the app is great: rapidly updated links to news articles wth the option to view them without ads and formatting distractions.
But there is no content filter. A lot of junk, click-bait articles make it through (looking at you boing boing).
Why ads now??🤔
Loved this app does need it was released, but I am not so sure now. The new ads that I see disrupts the whole clean flow..,
Time to look for another app and get rid of this one!!!
