Advertising has again become intrusive and redundant , plus derated or otherwise difficult to render articles. Derated one star. ----- Less intrusive advertising, general improvements, added a fourth star. ???? New advertising model too intrusive and redundant. While this long time user has appreciated the upgrades to this point, the advertising is too much.

This app has voice read for every story. One minor glitch. I cant pause voice momentarily witout going back to beginning. Otherwise excellent rendering. Dont mind add pops as long as there is a big X to close. Which is not the case now.

Outline typeface over black is hard to read on a phone with no other option and capsulised news is too brief for informed offline reading.

Not updating as of 11/6/17. Good stories and format, but often when you open the story it will appear for a few seconds but then just goes to a Website Not Available page inexplicably.

About 10 seconds after you click 'read article' and the article loads, it then goes to a plain white page saying "Web Page Not Available. net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME". Infuriating. I thought the last update fixed this but clearly not. One star until fixed.

What the service considers to be prime top news is often sports or fluff. It sorts stories online by keywords, not by topic so you get unrelated stories under specific headings. Apparently, no real people actually oversee the site. Pretty much garbage. Has gotten worse over time.

It was good once, but the obtrusive ads have ruined a good app killed. No longer recommended. Also full article button does not allow you to screen out paid subscription news providers.

If there was a way to remove the ads I would give this 5 stars. OK so now you can remove ads by spamming your friends. Not cool. Still great news app though.

I use it a lot and it's pretty informative. Needs a 'general' category for nonspecific social commentary, or lifestyle, perhaps.
by F####:
In general, I appreciate the diversity of news brought to my attention through this app, however it is not sufficient to be one's only news source. When sharing articles, my recipients often can't access them if I share directly from Newshog, so every time I have to share to clipboard and then go to the article through browser on order to share the direct link. Also, many of the news stations from which articles are linked, won't actually let you read the article unless you subscribe, so again, I have to look for the headline myself through browser.
