Hurting Creators
April 12, 2022

I have shared my concern about newsbreak a few times, but I failed to share the one thing that many creators are upset about with the platform. Let's get right to the chase. NewsBreak is destroying contributors with the strikes they give out, which started when they added all these new rules to the platform. How do they expect creators to write when there are so many stupid rules in place? That is unnecessary'; I think it's unfortunate that they are giving so many writers issues when it is the writers who make the platform.

News Break censored all my comments and also all replies to my comments. Avoid this website if you want to be able to see all comments and replies to comments to the news stories because this site is very biased and censors comments.

I'm soooooooooooo sick of NewsBreak closing my mouth with their leftist tape.
What once seemed to be a neutral place
To gather news has become the police
To silence ANYONE who even mentions
Christianity OR pro Republican issues.

America was never intended for this. We truly are becoming a communist country. Marxism is driving a stake into the heart of freedom.

Good bye for good NewsBreak; I'm avoiding ALL radical left platforms like the plague.

Racist sympathizers
March 16, 2022

I used this app and you can comment on the articles you read. I would run into racists a lot and harassers aka trolls. Well one day a troll decided to troll me and I trolled him back and he didn't like it. After I got annoying he supposedly blocked me but I could still troll him and reporting him for constantly harassing a lady named Sharon and dropping the N word. You think this would get him blocked from the app even with 5 other people reporting him for the same thing. Nope in the end I was blocked from commenting so I deleted your racist loving app.

Why would I trust a company to deliver news to me when I can't even trust them not to forcibly download their app on my phone when I try to exit out from an ad? I hate this app, I hate this company, and I will uninstall and rewrite the bad reviews they keep deleting until they leave them up and leave my storage alone.

This app is so one-sided with their news it's unbelievable and they have put crosshairs on Governor Ron DeSantis for some reason as well. I uninstalled it after trying it for one week it was so blatant with its bias.

Newsbreak has so many good news stories, sometimes I cant put my phone down. The articles come from different sources. I believe all are true. I didnt know Celine Dion has spasms and is very sick. Regular News on TV never reported this. The comments are more interesting than the stories. I love that they give people a chance to give their input about a story. Regular news is forbidden to report news against the vaccine. Here we see both sides. Yes some comments are unagreeable but we must choose not to respond to them. Overall the news stories report true news that is hidden by regular news channels. I love news break. Keep up the good work.

I joined to get local news, but the ads, stories and comments were worse than twitter, before Elon purchased it. Plus it is partially owned by China.

Racist Newsreporting
January 24, 2023

I would never download this app for my news I deleted it a long time ago, but my sister keeps sending me their news break. I will let everyone I know to watch what kind of news they are always putting out there. When I came to see my review it just confirms I'm not the only one who thinks this news is racist. The Whataburger shooting in Fort Worth, TX. Really did it for me when the only picture of the 3 arrested was the black boys picture SHOWING. I NO LONGER SUPPORT OR TALARATE THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR! JOIN ME BAND THIS APP!

Propagandists
September 19, 2020

This app is owned by Chinese nationals and run by these nationals and politically biased journalists and media. There articles primarily focus on instigating racial tensions in the US. I have read many articles about the new termed Karen for white women that have somehow attacked black people verbally and some incidents of throwing things at them. These articles are fake. How in the world would these reporters happen to come along and vidoe such events as often as they do. Newsbreak has many other similar type of ficticious stories designed to enrage the American public for the purpose of the Communist Chinese Goverment. I have also written many comments on Newsbreak and they have pulled the plug on news for me. Im not going with their agenda. The blacking out if screens and ads that pop up are used not just for advertisement but to censor. Your agenda is measured and if not in their desire they eliminate access to news by blacking the screen and other measures including cutting off the news feed. Newsbreak is a communist run propaganda outlet designed to create turmoil in countries other than Chins.

Newsbreak give me a break
February 10, 2022

I do not want to be notified and disturbed with such earth shattering news as Pat Sajack temporaily walks of stage of Wheel of Furtune just because NB wants to pimp the app with excessive advertising bombardment.

Agenda-Pushing Machine
Newsbreak is highly BIAS and inflammatory. They use CLEVER HEADLINES to push "an agenda" of divisiveness, and GLORIFICATION of political and racial conflict... and more.

Your writers are a joke. They review things that they know absolutely nothing about. It's evident and only makes them look outrageously stupid and uninformed. And it's insulting for them to wax poetically with reasons for trashing something (like why the Biltmore House is the ugliest house in America and completely out of place in its setting. Seriously? He/she sounded like a demented idiot blowing copious amounts of odiferous hot air). For articles like that one, I can gladly write a countering essay that will shoot giant holes through his bogus pontification.

Another example is claiming that the Blue Ridge Parkway is the most feared road in America. Compared to what? Evidently no one involved with this assessment read any facts. That road is the most visited national park in the ENTIRE COUNTRY. Over 15 1/2 MILLION people travel it EVERY YEAR. Willingly and happily. The roads to fear are the interstates under major construction, like I-26 going to Asheville. I'll bet your writer never drove that one.

And then you continually list the best town for this and the best twin for that. What and who are you paying attention to for information? I have lived or visited all over the state of NC and your writers' opinions on towns here are NEVER accurate. In the next week you'll publish another article that contradicts the first one. I have howled with laughter over your discrepancies. Your writers and editors don't verify anything or see things with their own eyes. I can't take you seriously about anything. But it appears that no one else does, either.

You only have 50-something reviews. It's because real news seekers are on to you and your rating among news providers is positively abysmal. Most people don't bother giving a review. Those who have bothered to give you a rating have it as one star.

The only reason I bothered to give one is because I'm tired of getting baited bogus articles about North Carolina. I want you to know I'm angry, and I am pulling the plug on your ridiculous "news service". Wise up and stop bottom-feeding for your readers.

I've been writing for Newsbreak for almost six months. In that time they've changed their contract 3 times, given different contracts to different people, promised opportunities that never came and then removed base pay for articles from most articles while letting some people keep it while making it sound like no one received it any longer. You never knew what was going to happen from month to month in terms of money and what they expected of you also changed from month to month. At first they would accept almost anything, then they wanted just news, then just local news, then hyperlocal news which is allegedly what they cut base pay over, and now that they've done that it seems they no longer want hyperlocal news but will take any kind of news and other content besides. They went from wanting only breaking news to welcoming evergreen content and even recipes! They now base payment for those whose base pay was cut on RPM (rate per mille or amount earned for 1000 views) but haven't told us how RPM is determined. I have recieved rates which range from 2 to 11 and it seems that the more views I get the lower the RPM and vice versa. I don't think Newsbreak operates in good faith and I don't think they have planned out how they intend the creator program to operate which is why it changes every single month.
