Contact Breaking News Support

This used to be my go-to app for news. Now you get a headline with a specific news source listed. You select to see the storey, you then have to click on another button to actually see the storey, and then you often get a google search webpage displays news headlines none of which are the storey you wanted to see in the first place. I’ve reported the problem to the App Support. They couldn’t be bothered to respond. I’m off to find a replacement.

The app itself is ok. But, the purpose of breaking news is defeated if multiple alerts from different news sources about the same news story keeps pinging the phone. Identifying that the multiple alerts are for the same news story and delivering only the first alert to the user will greatly improve the experience. Also, I haven’t gotten a single non-US alert although I have checked yes to RT, Chinese, Indian and other news sources.

Had this last year, and was so impressed on all the breaking news alerts I was getting. I’ve got family scattered across the world, and this was perfect keeping a watch on them, as well as our ever changing world. Seems like since the new year, I’ve been flooded with nothing but sports, crap. Sorry, but I’m not interested in Manchester’s football/soccer team. It’s an all day stream of who got traded. Who got signed. What team they’re now with, etc. this has turned into an ESPN app. I haven’t changed my news settings. In fact, I’ve got sports stations turned off. I was getting a good mix of world of events, but not anymore. Deleted.
