This used to be a great app, but they shut down on December 8th and we're supposed to open up on the 23rd. It's now January 4th and still nothing. Not even an update to let us know what's going on.

Update: It is unfortunately now obvious that some jackass bought this terrific app with the sole intention of shutting it down. Perhaps a fearful competitor not really willing to compete. Original review: This is a fabulous app that works very well. It allows me to efficiently skim through a variety of content quickly but gives the option to open something I'm interested in reading about in greater detail. I am a big fan of apps that offer a dark mode as this does. If I may, I'd suggest that the developer also add a black theme as well. Oh, and one more thing to consider. It would be nice to have a horizontal view for tablets. Overall I would suggest that anyone interested in an app to provide them with a quick means to shuffle through a lot of media content to give this a try. You just may like it as much as I do. Installed on: Motorola Moto X Pure, LG G-pad 8.3 and Asus Zenpad S3 10.

I love Zolt but after they got acquired they said they'd resume business on Dec 23rd. It's already Jan 9 and still no word from them. This company keeps breaking its word and can't bother to write a short message to the thousands of people using their app. If you open the app, you'll see a message saying "we'll be back on Dec 23". How ironic.

Loved the app, but apparently an app used for updating news can't update news about when it will be active again. Hate to Uninstall the app, but it is useless.

It is now February 16th, Zolt's services were to continue on the 23rd of December. They've been acquired and shut down, and the app should be removed from the Play Store.

I installed this yesterday and the info indicated news would be resumed yesterday December 23. It's now 10am Dec 24 & no notifications! Could you accurately, perhaps conservatively estimate when the program news updates will REALLY work??

Update: app is dead. RIP good news apps, money wins again I love the barebones no-nonsense look and feel of the app. However, similar to chrome or audacity, I would appreciate more extensive customization behind the immediate front end. For example, It'd be great to be able to personalize or limit the sources the articles are pulled from. Specifically, either a "no bias", "left-leaning", "right-leaning" trifecta choice or a ability to block/choose specific sources would be good. Overall, i am content with most selections of news sources hence the five stars.

Ever since I installed this app I have enjoyed it. I don't get notifications every 5 seconds, no pop up ads everywhere, and I get a quick synopsis of my news interests and if I want to read further I can just click the link and continue. I love this app!

They stopped posting new news and stated that it would be back on December 23rd. It's now the 11th of January and they haven't even bothered to update the message. Find something else

I'm disappointed! Zolt hung a "back soon" on their doors and walked away... Dec 23 was last week, no updates since early December. What gives, Zolt?

But unfortunately, it appears to have been abandoned. On Dec. 8th they said they would be back on the 23rd. Today is the 29th and they're still dark. Just find a competitor that does the same thing like I'm about to do.
