I wish Squid had a separate choice of Edition (GUI language ), and another choice for News Sources (countries as sources of news ). This would be so valuable for immigrants & expats, that need to be in touch both with the country of origin, as well as with the country they live..Think of the EU case (freedom of movement, tens of languages). Need to follow news in Greek, Dutch, English. How? . Apart from that... Very quick, Nice interface, lots of choices , and sources.

Used Squid for a few years. There are some annoying quirks, as it's an agregator it displays articles from the original source within the app. Articles don't always display or interact correctly. Unlike some other agrigators like Google News there isn't a way of simply viewing the original website, so I have to then go to my web browser and search for the article which is tedious. This is presumably so Squid keeps you within the app. I've recently switched to an alternative news agrigator.

Once you've explored the options on this, filtered the various news sources and set everything to suit your needs you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. A must-have app in my opinion. One of the 6 apps that I have; I immediately install this whenever I get a new phone.

What on earth have you done to your app the adverts popping up all over every piece of news you try to read is unbearable. Every area you need to scroll you are bombarded. I've changed my rating to 1 star ⭐. Ridiculous

I quite like this app and it is nice to use. I was a bit disappointed to find that the Premier League teams have not been updated so my team is not there. I agree with the previous reviewer too much left wing bias in the UK section.

It's ok. Not good for a balanced viewpoint across the spectrum. I see lots of papers on the left but very rarely anything from the right. I can very easily get a stream of 30+ articles from the Guardian, Independent, Mirror, Canary, LBC (and often these headlines are pushed to the top) but actively struggle to find anything from the much larger and more popular right wing papers.
