Ratings and Reviews
Keeps me up to date on news
I don’t have a lot of time to watch all the news so I really love getting the important things that come across my screen. That way I can tap on it and it takes me to to whole story. Even if it’s not all that important it does keep me in touch with what’s happening in our country and our world around us.
Terrible app
Not sure if it’s the algorithm but the app pushes a lot of clickbait and one-sided/biased articles. Not too many objective articles which is terrible for the current state of the world where people just want straight fact and reporting without the biased opinion of the writer. Not to mention, the comments section is a rotten cesspool of people who seem to be on the extremes, in echo chamber, and only there for confirmation bias.
I probably had the app for 5+ years and I thought it was pretty neat. I thought it was more of just objective news back then and I was hoping it would get better but it just kept getting worse so finally deleting it.
What happened
I’ve had Yahoo News for several years, recently I’ve had trouble. If there is a link on Google news for a story from Yahoo, I keep getting the same story over and over again about wild horses????
I went directly to the Yahoo news app I have on my iPad and unfortunately the same thing happens. As of today, I have deleted the app and have now reinstalled it. Crossing my fingers! Maybe I’ll be able to do an update on this review.
