LetMeKnow - AI News Summaries Reviews

by HappyPig

Right from starting LetMeKnow fresh, it’s a wall of Epoch times, fox, daily caller, ny post, daily caller, zero hedge with some yahoo, abc, and nbc thrown in. Blocked all the former, left the latter but man, really really bad starting distribution of sources.

Hard to complain about something that was offered for free, but here goes. LetMeKnow never got past putting in things I was interested in. Tried it once and failed; tried to delete it and reinstall it— same problem. When I tried to contact Support through LetMeKnow Store, got a message about a bad link. Anything else you want to know?

I just got LetMeKnow today, so maybe it’s the new update, but I get ZERO content from LetMeKnow - only
a “Something Went Wrong” message and a retry button, which does not fix it. The only thing that worked was choosing topics and “bias.” Although clicking through the tabs displayed no articles, it did offer a source that was diametrically opposed to my “bias” choices. Not off to a good start for me. Looked slick and promising.

They offered a free lifetime for one day but acknowledged that they were having server problems that made it impossible to accept offer. Server issue only fixed after the offer expired. I can’t trust a company that offers something, but prevents me from taking advantage due to claimed server problems, but never repeats offer one servers back online

After 20 minutes of errors. I’m giving up. Total waste of time. Free or not.

After an email from the dev advising the issues of 29th July were sorted out I reinstalled the all and wasted more time with “…something went wrong”
I’m done.

It took me 3 tries on my iphone to get past the selection screen. Can't get pass it on my ipad. No matter what I type, keep seeing retry. Would be great if there was a restore avail ahead of that screen to pull the choices from my iphone

This would be an outstanding app, if it would only work. I have two problems. When trying to log in to LetMeKnow , I get “Something went wrong” and a “Retry” button. I have hit the Retry button many times, LetMeKnow appears to think about it for 10-15 seconds then back to retry. Frustrating.
Secondly, I placed LetMeKnow on my phone and iPad. When trying to use it on the iPad, it wants me to purchase a subscription. I thought a purchase would transfer to all devices.
Overall, when it works, it is a fantastic source of news. I know you had a difficulties recently. I’m hoping they will resolve soon.

Needs Apple navigation shortcuts, like swipe back and top tap

The news feed customization options are fantastic. This would be the best news app ever created except the feeds frequently time out. I really hope this is temporary due to growing pains of an unexpectedly popular new app.

Please resolve these issues so I can give LetMeKnow five stars.

When my previous favorite news reader (Artifact) shuttered unexpectedly, I was lost. Fortunately I found LetMeKnow that’s a good start in replacing that service. I like the modern look and the fact that you can mute a source entirely.

by Capn Video

Can’t select one topic, let alone three. Please fix.

Currently working fine. They fixed it quickly! Great job.

by Shaun Personal

This is my new way to get my news and discuss with likeminded people now that artifact is shutting down. Recommend the developer create an open api to expand this

by JoG2

LetMeKnow allows you to choose from many feeds and allows you to choose a political bias if you want. It is a quick way to keep updated on you interests.

by PeterILee

I was disheartened hearing Artifact was shutting down, but LetMeKnow is even more intuned than Artifact was. This is a saving grace.

I look forward to seeing your future work. This is awesome.

by PensivePundIT

During the setup I kept getting "something went wrong" error. The developers were experiencing issues which they fixed and updated me. Nice job

by TheQG

This is so clean and simple. It’s a great way to get my news. Huge fan of the “local” news tab — nice addition.

by BAR112

Although it has some bugs ("something went wrong" happened multiple times); when it works, it's great! Nice AI summary of the news, link to the actual site, and it's sorted according to partisanship. Hope the bugs get fixed and it becomes more reliable.

by Ericfielding

Let me know news really hits it out of the park with their AI filtered news summaries. With the deluge of news on the Internet, informed readers need to be supplied with the information to make the best decisions. With Let Me Know news you can do that!

Thanks for responding so quickly to the server issue. Very impressed.

by MzBree53

After some hiccups and issues with LetMeKnow , the team reached out to me and notified me that it was fixed. It works great!

by Murad Hajiyev

It has many topics and sources

by Elavdeveloper

After the announcement that Artifact is going to close, I found this application as an alternative and I must say that it is very good.

The appearance could use a little improvement, but it works well and you can add a lot of sources. You can also see if these sources have any political bias, which helps a lot, and AI summarizing articles is definitely a plus. Recommended.

by Actoraine

Let me start by saying that I like it so much that I am paying for a subscription

It’s in a way better than Artifact data wise. I am actually discovering topics that I like from sources that I didn’t know exist. So I am pretty pleased about that. The AI summary is also mostly good enough.

The user interface takes some getting used to but the developer is very receptive of feedback.

Thank you.

How cool is it to see news from around the world; just read an article from Bangladesh. We live as a huge worldwide community but don’t understand the world around us, well, until now.

You will receive country, state, and city level news reports and you can pick and choose to see what you want to see.

Thank you for the Let me Know app, which is not only useful, it is also cutting edge. I can read stories about medical issues, sports, politics, disasters, the stock market, the Olympics, and stories of people just trying to live their best lives.

Today I read that Stanford has linked Vegan Diets to reduced age…I was Vegan, but today I am adding balanced nutrition to help me remain strong and healthy. By the way, President Biden just announced US debt just exceeded 35 Trillion Dollars.

Thanks for bringing all this to my iPhone.

I was so happy to find LetMeKnow — it helps me get the news I am interested in reading quickly and I can learn what I want to know, fast. I don’t have to wade through all the garbage news I am not interested in, first. I sometimes find a few spelling or grammar errors in the AI summaries once in a while but I am sure they will work to fix those soon. Thanks for LetMeKnow!

I love the AI summaries and key points
