NewsNation: Unbiased News Reviews

I watch this app on a daily basis, but I expected a bit more from their app. It is clunky, ad-heavy, and forces video playback when you simply want to read an article. There is no option to remove automatic video playback, and it covers half the screen as you try to read an article. Also, in the TV provider section, there is no option for streaming or satellite providers (e.g., YouTubeTV, Dish, Directv). However, they list every no-name cable provider you’d ever think of. I don’t understand that one at all. Why ignore all of us who watch you on streaming or satellite platforms? (I imagine that is the majority of your viewership!) If they want to gain users, NewsNation must be more streamlined, user friendly, and look more like their TV channel - and less like an outdated local news channel app, which I am guessing is what Nexstar used as their basis for NewsNation.

I am giving this 5 stars, even though there are a few annoying issues with NewsNation , because I am so happy that there is a new unbiased news source and I’m sure they will work out the issues. I can’t stand watching the other, so called “news” networks, such as CNN, Fox News and MSNBC because they contain very little news content and it’s mostly opinion with grandstanding and sometimes inaccurate information. I hope that News Nation succeeds and expands to a 24 hour news channel as right now they only offer live programming during evenings.

I do have a few issues:

* I use it on an iPad and it doesn’t rotate the screen to landscape until I start live video
* It keeps prompting me for my provider’s login information (most apps only make you authenticate once in a while, but not almost every time you use it). This might have been fixed because it didn’t just prompt me again.
* Live video doesn’t minimize to the corner when you change to another app, like most other video apps.

I know NewsNation and network is brand new, but it’s off to a great start. It’s easy to navigate and not buggy, and the content is straightforward and not full of sensational headlines or click-bait style articles (which is exactly what the world needs more of!)

One feature I hope to see in the future is a way to customize a newsfeed. I like scrolling through headlines and topics most relevant to me in one spot vs navigating around and filtering each time I open NewsNation . I also hope the weather section continues to expand its details so I can get rid of the terrible weather apps I otherwise have to suffer through.

I love love love it. I wanted to find an apolitical news source since I don’t know much about politics and I want just the facts with a little analysis and this is perfect. The only reason I’m rating 4 stars is because I would love it even more if there was some kind of tab or pin option. Sometimes I find articles or shows I don’t have time to look at in the current moment and would love to be able to have a “save for later” option. Amazing news source!

I have a lot of news apps, and have always like NZ Herald for ease of use ,.. but this app is just as smooth. The only confusion I had was when trying to exit a video until I realized it required clicking the ‘restore down’ brackets [ ]. Re: balanced reporting.. it’s true, although reviewers who already have a strong bias will view any story that doesn’t come with the same bias as skewed. As a career tv news producer I’ve seen this many times. The center is always hated by extremists.

I love NewsNation . It would be nice if I didn't have to keep turning my iPad to view the main pages, though. It would be better if you provided a landscape version or, at least, unlock the portrait so it can rotate and be viewed in landscape.

I’ve been looking for a news service that I could trust to REPORT the news using real FACTS, not politically biased spin or even flat out lies. WGN this app has done just that! It provides a broad range of topics and gives details of important stories that others just gloss over, if they even cover them at all. Great app for my phone and good source for my TV viewing at home during prime time!

Well, I wanted something that was concise, informative, to the point, and unbiased. NewsNation fails, primarily because the pix and videos - including the ads - take over my entire screen and finding articles to actually READ is a pain when I have to spend so much time manipulating what is blasted at me. Maybe it is unbiased … maybe it does have actual news. Don’t know. I spent one morning with it and decided that my time is better spent wading through the garbage on other news sites. That’s sad.

I want to put my full support behind News Nation! Our country is sorely lacking a ‘straight news’ service vs the screaming heads at the other three ‘24 hour opinion/entertainment’ channels.

My issue is that NewsNation is locked in ‘portrait’ view and doesn’t rotate to ‘landscape’ view on my iPad. When they fix that, score will improve. Good luck News Nation, we need you now more than ever!

I can finally get some unbiased news and it’s so refreshing, the news is presented without some anchor chiming in their opinion about the story. They seem to present both sides so it's fair. I believe that I can watch or read the news without wanting to get angry from all the opinionated bias comments. Thank you this app!

Can I get some feedback and possibly a story about what really happened to the social security program after it was implemented up to this date,and the changes made in the 60 s
I have been a big fan of the evening shows since you started

What started out as a refreshing, down the middle news source, has slowly leaned to the left. They aren’t in the yellow rag group with CNN, but also no longer a fact first source. I deleted NewsNation and will go back to finding a reliable fact driven news source. Maybe someday they will get back on track, but most in this industry don’t. I gave 2 stars for NewsNation being reliable both in text and video streaming.

Compared to other news organizations and apps, this app and this app Now are fantastic for getting information as unbiased as possible.

Once the iPad version was updated, NewsNation keeps crashing whenever I try to connect my cable/satellite provider.

I like NewsNation , easy to use and navigate.

What I like even more is the whole purpose of News Nation - straightforward news, no sensationalist bias from overpaid commentators, no slant one way or the other. I hope everyone else starts watching so the news returns to what it should be, just news!

If you enjoy READING your news, as I do, it’s incredibly frustrating to be able to read only a few sentences at a time because a video player with ads covers the entire top half of the screen and auto-plays and there’s no way to remove it or change settings to avoid having it.
If I wanted to watch videos and not read, I would go to FOX news.

Great App, easy to navigate and very helpful. Glad to see a Newscast that tells the news the way it should be without bias! So refreshing to see news that tells it like it is and gives both sides. You won’t be disappointed with NewsNation!

NewsNation is off to a great start and I really hope it takes off. NewsNation itself seems to work good. I absolutely love the unbiased news!!!! Everything that I have read and listens to so far was well written in an unbiased manor. I’m very impressed. Thank you!!!!!!!

Started watching News Nation a few weeks ago and I love that the reporting is about the news, communities and no political bias. So sick of CNN Fox, MSNBC’s politics and how every story relates back either in an obliviously positive or negative way to which ever way that station leans. Deleted my CNN app and couldn’t be happier

Want news? Here you go. Everything loads fast and there isn’t a lot of things on NewsNation to slow your navigation down.

Solid app with everything you need

I can’t watch you guys live on the news nation app because you guys don’t have Spectrum TV as one of the cable providers so I would like if you can add Spectrum TV choose a this app Now app so I can watch you guys live in NewsNation thank you..

Very clean interface and a great app. Would like to see a little more customization & a paid version but that may come with time.

Great to see a news channel skip the idiotic trends and offer news via their own channel and app without bias or opinionated analysts. Nice start for a new news app!

There is a channel that reports the news instead of making up the news !!!!!! GREAT JOB keep it up

Just tuned into the first night of News Nation and got NewsNation . So far, I’m very impressed at the ACTUAL NEWS.

The layout is clean, fast, and easy to navigate, and the live broadcast video plays well.

America needs a news source biased in favor of the people and adversarial to power.

Great app, interactive, intuitive, and excellent content

News that focuses on the news and not a string of opinions.

Looking forward to great unbiased news from this app and their awesome staff!!

Love this concept of news keep up great work WGN America

App works fine on my phone, but I downloaded it to use on my iPad and you can’t put it in horizontal mode. So I won’t be using NewsNation .

The live stream is not accessible like most apps from this company for visually impaired people who need a screen reader to watch them we still listen to the news you know
