Race baiting app!
July 14, 2023

It is a terrible app filled with extremist conservative views. The app purposely chooses topics that will start a firestorm of disturbing comments about African Americans, Hispanic Americans and LBGTQ. People need to BAN THIS APP!

Typical MSM news
May 22, 2022

It is hard to find any stories on this site that make the Left look bad or vulnerable. This site really enjoys bashing Trump and the Right. It would be nice to see a truthful article about how Biden is a big failure and is destroying this once powerful country.

Its ugly
September 16, 2021

Its troll central. People leave ugly comments and dont use there real names, obviously cowards. Mostly filled with trumptarded people, regurgitating lame conspiracies theories and other lame cowards root for them. Its seriously strange, I guess the real world is too much or something. Anyway it's not for me, maybe it's what you're looking for?

Thus is a very poor site. The news mostly has a left leaning view point. In addition this site offers a classified section. I posted an item there and is this is written there are two inquires which the site does not permit me to reply to. Same goes with the mobile app for Android. It is not possible to reply to the inquiries or set my home location. The app says I am in California when I live in Texas. And the strangest think is both the web page are using the exact same sign in but shows one with the correct city and the other where ever.

Bias
August 7, 2022

They are VERY BIAs for one! They also are like other social media platforms basically where you have no freedom of speech when you comment on anything! Half of the journalist on here seems like they got their degree in a Cracker Jack box and that they use voice input to write their articles and don't even bother to double check their work!

I downloaded the app during the start of the pandemic. This was a huge mistake. Reading stories that are misleading, old recycled stories from years ago, stories with so many typos and worded horribly, etc. Don't get me started on the comments section. While I have had a few healthy debates with people who have a difference in opinion without the name calling, the bad outweigh the rest. The trolling is out of control along with the racists. They can have it all. I've already uninstalled the app from my phone.

The Newsbreak app is full of falsehoods and is created and operated by the Chinese Government to cause further division and weakness in USA. They have sensational attention-grabbing headlines to articles with fictitious claims such as a recent one that claims there are existing medications on the market that kill the Covid-19 virus. Yet no other news source here or abroad is reporting that. Why? Because there is absolutely no facts to support these false claims. Newsbreak tricks Americans with false hope and should be removed immediately.

Oes everything I expect
January 19, 2022

I wanted a site that shows local news. And it does that very well. On top of that it has a wide array of news stories that I am interested in. They do not write stories but compile them and let me decide. That is exactly what I need from a news site.

As an independent journalist, my stories do not fit into what orthodox local media publishes, but NewsBreak has been rating my content value very high. Stories I write that would find a hard time getting into locally controlled local media are streaming with extra-large images on NewsBreak in my local stream, filled with local mainstream media stories. I believe that is related to the high CV rating that NewsBreak has been giving my stories, so you can tell which types of stories NewsBreak is encouraging by the image size.

Like all content-provider portals, NewsBreak is learning as it goes and can only be as good as the content submitted to it. On those terms, it can shake up our world. It seems to be giving different voices- from outside the mainstream, a chance to be part of the dialogue, but I did not even receive a response to the first call to applications and only got with a link that bypassed the application process. Now that NewsBreak has loosened up its application process- let's see what happens.

Forced to download app
January 21, 2021

Web articles only give you the first half paragraph of the story, then give you a "read more" button

When you tap the button, it leads to the App Store to download the app, with no option to continue the article in the browser, so you have to download the app to continue

I have enough news apps as it is on my phone and don't need NewsBreak taking up space and giving me yet more notifications to bug me, yet I would still like to actually read the articles

Now I can understand if there were a limit to how many articles I can read a day without the app (say 1~3 a day), and if I want to read more, then I would have to download the app, but really, I can't even read one full article?

What bothers me the most about it is my mother, who does have the app, sends me articles she wants me to read and discuss them with her, but I can't even read them, and I'm not downloading the app just so I can

Pretty cutouts
September 8, 2022

I ordered these leggings because the cutouts look great. I also like that this garment has a built in undergarment for additional comfort and protection. I have worn them twice now and always get compliments on how nice they look. Very comfortable also.

Eh, It's ok
December 27, 2021

It's funny to see all the whining and crying about the comment sections being a breeding ground for racism. When the rest of us know it's the media pushing this stuff. And then you have the ones $#*!ing about the racism and calling people cowards for not using their real names and they turn right around and talk $#*! about your opposing political views...(With name calling of course) They are the jokes of the comments section and go running to their safe spaces at the first site of someone that doesn't agree with their whacked out views. Great entertainment for the rest of us.

News Break comment section on articles should have strict guidelines for posting. It is a breeding ground for racism and hate. News Break is asking for trouble if guidelines are not put in place to restrict abuse and racism.

Just a right wing rag
December 2, 2021

This app caters to the right with many trolls who appear professional. This app publishes news feeds from sights like The Washington Examinar, who rarely says anything true, but will collapse totally true comments from viewers. Not for me.

Bad News Break
October 18, 2022

It's nothing, but news about toddlers left in trash cans, people getting smashed in the head with hammers and the next nuclear attack or pandemic. The app is politically and racially biased and it's sole purpose is to bring out the worst in people and make the world look like a hopeless dystopic nightmare.

Racist?
December 27, 2022

Calling people out for bad behavior is not racist. Stating facts is not racist. Critical thinking is not racist. NewsBreak is a liberal site. In America, one can run a liberal site. I enjoy noting what liberals think. I do note eventually, if I continue to debate a liberal into a corner, I will be called a racist or a Nazi. I figure I have won any debate I'm labeled as such.
