Review title of MartinFastest source of news on Win10

This app is leaps and bounds faster than other news apps, both with notifications and the feed itself. Very simple clean design. Follow stories to get notified when news breaks about them.

Review title of James or LynLiking It!

I like knowing how old a story is and where it comes from. Easy to read format. Wide variety of news and sources. Works well with Windows 10. Not intrusive as far as I can tell.

Review title of MichaelExcellent App / First to Know

App repeatedly provides breaking news more quickly than AP website and/or local news apps. Well designed and user friendly.

Review title of EricFantastic upgrade with one major caveat

The app is worlds better than the previous, non-universal version except for one thing. New version doesn't seem to have a live tile. No live tile, for a news app in particular, is a major negative.

Review title of RobertFind Out First

Lets you know within seconds about breaking news - local, state, U.S. & world. Convenient settings allow you to follow updates to stories or mute any category (e.g. election news). Shows sources where you can follow up even more. Best App - 5/5 stars!

Review title of UnknownA distinct disappointment

The name of this app is misleading. This is really only a Twitter extension, not an actual news site. The inability to access actual news stories related to each headline without leaving the app and tracking it down online killed my interest in it.
