Windows Central — The app! for Android
priscilla,,'pribo'-windows it's new.
This app is awesome. For the Windows' Central staff, your audience is already multi platforms users. We use Windows, Android and IOS operating system in distinctly all at a time for differents reasons and approaches. Thank you for your open mind to share windows information with different platforms users. I have Apple devices (iPods, iPads, iPhone 6), Android devices (Samsung Note 3, Note 5, Samsung Gear, TAP A Note with S Pen) and of course my lovely Surface 3 and 2 others MS laptop for my family. You are doing awesome with this wonderful work. Congrats...!!!
Ever since switching from Windows Phone it's been great to still have this app to follow along with Windows/Microsoft news. However, I would love push notifications similar to the Windows app (rather than the widget) and photos don't show up in articles on here. Fix those things, and you've got a perfect 5-star app!
I really like the app but one issue is that many times I tap a notification about an article and it takes me to the main section instead.
Very informative and innovative app. Superb tech forums. Easily find answers and tips for the modern-day tech enthusiasts.
Just joined but loving it!
I just changed phone from W10M to an Android device but I still want to be updated with news about Microsoft, Windows etc. Good thing there's a Windows Central app on Android! I really like the interface especially the night mode.
Working better since the last update bit far more complicated that on Windows phone( anyone remember them? )
App never automatically updates articles! I want to start by saying I love this app on my Surface Pro 3 and Desktop PC, and up until recently, my Windows Phone. I recently swapped to an Android phone (OnePlus 3) and duly installed all my favourite apps and MS services. I have found that whilst this is still the same quality app I use elsewhere, it will never update unless I physically empty the app cache through settings. I am now using Nougat 7.1.1 which has made no difference.
It is surprising to see how slowly this app will load an afternoon's content (maybe five articles) vs. the Android Central app loading 19 days worth of content in the same amount of time. I'm finally uninstalling this app and will be relying on the far faster Windows 10 version.
I only rated 3 stars because I'm a fan of WC but the app is really annoying. Refreshing of the homepage is a serious problem. News always have to reload, unlike in windows phone where you can read preloaded news with pictures.
After the AC update I'm very glad to see the black backgrounds making their way to the Windows Central App too! And even though lately the website itself has been just a dumpster of Minecraft articles and delusional editorials about WP not being dead when everyone knows that it is, there are still some nice articles there about Windows and Xbox which make it worth the read.
Its a good app. The problem i have is that it takes 2 sometimes 3 minutes to load new stories. Doesnt matter if its on lte or wifi, it takes forever. Fix the loading problems please.
Garbage app, articles never updates. I am on Pixel XL, I reinstalled couple of times. Works in the beginning then again stops working. I just uninstalled now for good and will just use the website
Used to love this app on Windows Phone. Now on android it takes way too long to load new news. Sometimes it doesn't at all. It should run as well as the Android Central app, but it doesn't. Really needs an update. I wouldn't even mind the ads, similar to AC if it refreshed faster.
Used to work perfectly, but for a last few days, something has gone wrong. Initially it was not refreshing at all. After reinstallation it is not loading at all.
The app used to work fine, recently the loading of the articles takes ages. Reinstall doesn't help.
Since I use, devces across the major three operating systems, it's great to catch up with Windows phone and Microsoft news while on any of my devices. Australia.
App looks like its stuck all the time and not loading newer articles.. the newest story was 22d ago
Not even refreshing news feed. Useless app. Was working fine before.
App takes forever to refresh the news feed and forums, hopefully there will be a fix in the next update.
Takes forever to load new articles and sometimes doesn't load new ones at all. Kinda sucks when a news app doesn't give you news.
I used to love this app. But recently it takes 5 minutes to refresh the stories forcing me to go to the website in my browser instead.
App used to be good, but now it's just so sloooow to load. It's weird because android central is very fast.
Nice app from the Android Central people. This is my goto app for all things Windows.
Doesn't update news, Add notification soon. Why aren't there push notifications yet? Or am I missing something
Used the app for five minutes, but battery stats show 1.5 hours cpu usage? Uninstalled.
It loads unbearably slow, it's not even worth using
The app was usefull!! But not as fluid.. we want regular updates for performance improvements
Slow to load new articles and drains battery in the background for no apparent reason.
I downloaded just to comment lol. Windows is dying a slow dead. Forced to shift platform. There I admit it.
In android version, it's keep on loading. It can't fetch articles. Previously i used Lumia 520. Windows central works perfectly on Windows phone
Loading times are MEGA slow. Just better the use Chrome and browse the website.
Loading times for new articles has gone to pot altogether
Slow in loading articles. Battery consumer in background.
It used to load articles at least on mobile data before. Now even that's not functioning. Please fix it soon.
What happened to this app?
Its Not refreshing/updating
Very slow to load new articles..

I had to uninstall this app because it got all SJW political. I want tech news about Windows and Microsoft products I own and buy...not love letters to Obama and hate for our duly elected President Mr. Trump. How about no politics and sticking to tech?!!
