There are diverse articles from multiple news sources. Some (many more than I thought at 1st) articles are bias; and details questionable; as some media outlets can be.
Forgive the length pls! I know my review is a small novel, but I tried to Include as much as I could for everyone!
UPDATE 9/29/21 NEXT PARAG.: AFTER USING APP FOR A FEW MONTHS SINCE 1ST REVIEW)
Use this app w/caution! I wouldn't advise for children; nor (sometimes) adults! It will completely depend on what you read, your own personal views, if you read/make comments on this app; and how; you perceive & react to certain topics, issues, etc. It can be enjoyable to comment & read & ppls com. Especially w/ppl who are introspective & have multiple, sometimes opposing views. Yet is can really get bad sometimes on Newsbreak! MANY ppl in the comm. Sect. Can be rude, vulgar, hateful, intentionally hurtful! Maybe sometimes for attn.? Many, I was saddened & surprised to find, are racist comments of hate spewing ideology. I understand Newsbreak can't control man's hate, & the awful lang. It creates. What would be nice is if they enforced their own racial discrimination policy/laws better; if they even have any, not sure?! So beware; the comments can be more than offensive! Although Newsbreak does collapses some of the offensive comments; however, sadly; many remain! Personally; I like to pray for the ppl; sometimes I get the honor of answering a? For them! Other times, I learn from them. I don't mean this to sound condescending; there are a lot of lost ppl to pray for on that app; after all, we all could use prayer; that's what I figure?! Stangley sounding as it may be; that's my fav. Part! (I added this parag. To this review on 9/29/21)
There are many different topics to suit your interest.
From news, sports, entertainment, animals, science, and health; just to name a few! You may also modify, and set your preferences to the types of articles that you are interested in and would like to see the most. The comments section is my favorite part! You can see other's comments, and voice your opinions by leaving a comment as well; it's fun and very interactive! Plus the app download is FREE; bonus!
A few negatives, some advertised offers, that appear (in between) the articles, as you scroll down; are scams! I wish Newsbreak would monitor and remove these fraudster scams! Be careful & aware! Check (ie., Google) to see if the company that you're ordering from, is legitimate; before you order! These scam company website's look very real, (even to an experience person) and as if they're from reputable companies! Such as Walmart, Costco, and Wayfair. And yes, sadly; I fell for one. (Maybe I put too much trust in Newsbreak that they wouldn't offer such scams on their app) I became a victim partially because I'm inexperienced, and because I was excited to buy my loved one the gift I saw offered. One could say that I am guilty of allowing my emotions to cloud my judgement. In my defense, even my friend, who is a seasoned internet/social media scam pro.; said the website looked legitimate to him. Although he, noticed there were a few, very hard to notice to the untrained eye, indications; that it could be a scam. Like an elusive missing S, that I'll mention in just a moment!
I'm new to social media; I know I'm a dinosaur! I live in a little rural town. No high speed internet yet! I finally got an iphone; what freedom! I've heard about these scammer's! Nonetheless; I fell for one when I ordered the gift.
To my disappoinment, the scam company that I ordered from; was on the Newsbreak app.
Here's what happened.
I ordered a watch for $49.00 w/s/h, from a (supposedly) patriotic/Christian store. It makes me soo angry that they used politics, and especially my faith to scam me,
(a disabled/sheltered middle aged person) as well as the elderly, and other's who wrongly, yet innocently, trust Christian affiliated website's! In this case the fraudulent website was; The Christian Way. But that's why they're called scammer's, right?! They don't care about you, you're their victim; and their (unearned) paycheck.
I checked Google, good I thought, this company appears on Google; must be legitimate! But naively, I didn't recognize that the legit company, that I seen on Google, was only one letter (an S, at the end) off; from the scam company that I; naively ordered from!
As I mentioned, the scam company looked soo legitimate; they'd done their homework! I even received an email confirmation (payment was accepted) my $49.00 watch order was on its way.
Days after I ordered the watch, I received my bank statement. I noticed that the very fraudulent company, had charge me for the gift I'd ordered. As well as four other items; that I did not authorize or order! With a very REAL, Grand Total of $179.00! I was frustrated at myself for being gullible; I was scammed! Luckily I caught it early enough; I was able to reverse the charges and cancel my credit card! Hallelujah, a win for the good guys I thought! I really hope Newsbreak, will address; and remove these awful fraud/scammer's from using their app! I'm sure this harms Newsbreak's image; to many!
One other negative about this app is that you cannot edit your comment; once you've posted it. You are however offered the option to delete it; after posting it.
Lastly, on a positive note, I very much enjoy that you receive a notification, if someone responses to a comment that you've made. Even after you're done reading that article, or if you've already logged off; you will still be notified someone has replied to your comment. And you can reply to that person then, as well! Very cool and fun!
I hope this review has help you in some small way!
Have a blessed day!
Sincerely;
Dolly :)
