APP PERMISSIONS IN PLAIN ENGLISH

Here's why this app asks permission for certain things, in plain English:

First off, we're using the Android 6.x Marshmallow APIs, which means you you might be asked to allow the app to do something — say, access your SD card — while you're using the app. That's a good thing!

★Photos/Media/Files & Storage: These two permissions are used so you can upload images and the like to our forums. They're also used for downloading our podcast and from our wallpaper gallery.
★Wi-Fi connection: This helps us better serve our award-winning content to you. It's used for analytics and to make sure nothing's going to kill your connection or anything.
★Full network access/prevent device from sleeping/view network connections/set wallpaper: Gotta have network access to use the internet. Sleeping has to do with playback, and wallpaper is for setting your wallpaper in the wallpaper gallery.

Have a concern about a permission? Ask us! We're happy to help. Email apps@mobilenations.com.

FINALLY ...

Did you really read this far? Good for you. You rock. Thanks for downloading this app. And stay tuned for the next version, which will be even better than this one. Namaste.

Concise and answers those questions that are out the usual.

F70%
by F####:

Good app with good articles, but UI not friendly!...have to navigate too much to do simple things. When selecting article from notifications shade, app always opens to saved articles, not the selected article. General UI navigation is also unfriendly.

U70%
by U####:

This app used to be good, but it's garbage now. I paid for no ads yesterday (3 months worth, although I'm sure I paid for a year's worth less than a year ago) and the ads are back today (one day later). Fix this or I want my money back.

Log in process is grueling... User name and password didn't work with app, but worked on mobile site. Then, when trying to change password via the app, the process went on and on with literally 3 minutes of image verifications before I said screw it, and uninstalled. I guess the app is alright if you don't ever log in to your account... That is, if you can in fact log in

U70%
by U####:

What was once the place to go for Android news has turned into an advertising App . Adverts are not even Android connected ..example they been advertising mattresses and chairs lately.

H70%
by H####:

Full of adds but what's worst is that you can pay to get ad free for a year yet it starts showing up ads before the year has ended. Even after paying you still get tons of ads disguised as news articles but not really news, really shady practices like this, click bait article titles, etc... Time to move on to another Android news source...

U70%
by U####:

Good app but these guys are heavily pro Google and anti Samsung. Not much credibility as "Android" news aggregators

U70%
by U####:

Too many recycled articles. I really like this app but many of the articles are just older articles that have been edited over and over again. Just look at some of the comments. Some comments on a "new" article are somehow 5 months old. Too many reposted articles instead of new content that also includes links to old content.

Was on the web site helped me figure out a problem that ive bin struggling with for a week

X70%
by X####:

Use an adblocker on their mobile site instead of using this ad fest app. They even manage to evade Adguard!

U70%

Many 'articles' are just yet more ads.

Y70%
by Y####:

Been good throughout the years.

U70%
by U####:

Used to be good with up to date articles. Now there's sponsored links everywhere which is for revenue, however many articles are republished from months back. Even sponsored articles contain old info from long ago. Choose a recent article and it may indicate 5 months (ago). It's tired!

B70%
by B####:

I used to love this app. The massive influx of advertising (one or two per article and one or two between articles) made this unusable. Sorry guys but I've uninstalled the app.

U70%
by U####:

This is a nice phone I had one similar to this one before I had the one I am using now, the only problem with the phone is the memory capacity within the time, it started getting froze, needed to erase some applications to have the space I needed in the zinc card, is a great phone for little kiddos though, but for people as me that have the whole world in it, it's not a good idea. I loved this phone when I bought it 3 years ago, now by experience, think we grow with technology, room space becomes a necessity.

U70%
by U####:

Used to live this app, but now it's completely overrun by some questionable ads and clickbait. Uninstalled.

K70%
by K####:

Hate the delay on ads. After reading an article, going back to the home page causes a word scrolling issue because it takes time to render the ads.

B70%
by B####:

Unfortunately it has sold out. Advertisement Central now.

G70%
by G####:

Frustratingly now it always moves to the top of the page when viewing forum threads and doesn't start at the last read post like it used to. Despite the setting being on for that

My go-to for Android news.

U70%
by U####:

Seriously ads in the forums?! This app sucks now. At least if you are going to do that, try to not make the page jump from wherever you were in the thread to the top, it is very annoying. Pretty sure we can call this app ADdroid Central, it's getting really bad...

W70%
by W####:

Junk. 7 ads within 10 articles. 4 of these are the same ad to install another junk app. Constantly refreshes while scrolling, making it impossible to keep track of what i have read so far. It is a joke from a team calling themselves Android Central.

U70%
by U####:

Great app for Android news. Has a great forum community.

Q70%
by Q####:

Ruined by advertising

G70%

Runs fine on a Pixel 2.

Z70%
by Z####:

I used to really enjoy this app. I would check it several times a day. Now the sponsored posts are making the pages jump around quite a bit. Constantly refreshing and changing. There are ads for turbo cleaner speed booster in the app when I know they would not recommend it on the site. I don't mind ads but try to keep them from ruining the experience.

U70%
by U####:

FAKE GOOD REVIEWS!!! RUBBISH!! shady interface. useless anoyng qusetions from people about problems getting a phone unlocked or not fitting sim. then 3 year outdated refferences! IRRELEVENT..

U70%
by U####:

I used to love this app. Recently, I have seen that the app has started to get crowded with more adds and less content. Even many of their content tries to sell us something, whether they are some courses or some online promotions. Just a simple thing as that causing such a huge decline in user experience

U70%
by U####:

Love the site. Been here since 2009. The app is great and gets better all the time. But I notice I can't copy/paste in the forums. Makes it hard to share links to Youtube and various other things.

U70%
by U####:

Sponsor posts are killing your user experience... 1 sponsor post every 3 news stories is too much, and they are so slow to load it constantly has to reflow the page. Makes the app look jerky and badly made

G70%
by G####:

Usually love this app and would rate it higher but I've had issues viewing the forums when I'm on WiFi since the last update. I'm not sure if it's my connection or the app, but it used to work perfectly before the latest update. I have to turn WiFi off and use my cellular data for the forums to load

U70%
by U####:

Love the site and love the app. I use your app daily for my Android news on my Pixel XL. How come you haven't updated you icon to support adaptive icon for Oreo?
