Love the aggregation of Linux news...hate the implementation. Not able to change much in settings. Not able to to eliminate useless feeds. No way to mark all read. In app browser is lacking. The implementation of monetization ads is horrible...try to hit the back button and it take you to the advertised site or app. One has to hit the X button on the ad to get out of the ad. I want aggregated Linux news...but not this badly

I'd like it a lot more if it: 1) didn't have ads, 2) had a way to filter out content I don't care about--like anything related to Windows, and, 3) got rid of its horizontal scrolling--a sidebar of sites would be much easier to use. I'd be happy to pay for the app in order to lose the ads; why not have an ad-free option?

Was a good app. Now too many ads,.and now there are video ads. Unacceptable when reading on the bus. Will have to look for alternative sorces for my Linux news. Edit: they were quick replying to my email and very helpful and professional. As for the issue for the video ads, those are Google's fault. Ist out of their control (short of using other ad software).

It does what it does, not more, not less. But I am still waiting for the feature to favorite news that I want to read later on. EDIT : the feature works perfectly fine, just having the icon all on the bottom right is painful for my fat thumb. I don't know how to solve this ... otherwise the new Interface looks good as well, points for that.

Some sites won't open in app but hitting the Globe opens them in the browser. Would be nice to have "Open in browser" option in the main list without having to access the article in the app then hit globe. But I love it. All the Linux & OS news that I want without the noise. Linux should take off as people become more educated about it. MS releasing Edge for Linux will fail but it'll introduce people to Linux.
