News apps.

Paywall or VPN — Decent balance on many subjects, but the app has caught paywall fever outside of the UK. For now, a VPN set to the UK will bypass this, but it’s annoying to have to use one for this app. Lost 2 stars for this.

Paywall — This used to be my favorite news source and now you can’t access anything without paying.

Well organized and easy to navigate — Updating 8/25/26: most of BBC is now paywalled. Content is mediocre and absolutely not worth paying a cent for.

Pop up ads and hover redirects — I use Fox for the majority of my news updates, however I get frustrated by the redirects to advertisers websites as I scroll or hover for a split second. I would gladly pay a fee to avoid this annoyance as it causes safari to have a massive amount of tabs open to websites I would not visit. Fox- fix this please.

Great app — This to many ads. I am not going to watch a 14 sec add easy time I watch a video. It is like a ad engine. has worked well for me. I really like this app.

Ads, ads and more ads. — this app is full of adds that open a browser or open a Walmart app without permission. was once a great place to read the news but click bait headlines, poor article editing, and the same content over and over is annoying. Seriously report on something else than the president, infighting between parties, and politics. Stop trying to advertise.
