Watchup

Third time using it, and still confusing. All I see are videos going by, but how do see just one? I need simpler.....

Good but now buggie

Been great to use this this to catch up on all kinds of news very quickly. Today though, the app just started cycling through all the stories in a loop, never stopping or playing one. I closed the app, even rebooted my iPad with no luck. Hope you fix the bug, Ive enjoyed using the app until now.

Awesome app!

This is an amazing app to catch up on news from earlier in the day!!

Great place to get all news

Convenient way to see everything that I need to know in one place.

So many channels, worth it

Its a free app that has tons of news channels. That alone makes the download worth it. I love that I can see the playlist and scroll through and rearrange what clips I want to play first. The clips are usually pretty short and if I dont like a clip I just thumbs it down. Its a good app to keep on top of the news. Totally recommend.

STUCK ON ITALIAN CHANNELS!!!

No matter what I choose

Horrible

This app was great for the first day. I was watching news in English, the language I understand because I reside in America. Then the app does a complete switch and every single news feed was in Italian or something with no subtitles making it pointless as I could not understand it. I found no way to force English only news since I still want to keep up with world news but in my native tongue.

Excellent Curation.

Best customized news service app. It continually learns my preferences. Love it.

Perfect app for cable cord-cutters

After cutting the cord, about the only thing I missed was putting on CNN or Fox News as "white noise" when Im around the house doing stuff. This app, once it learned my prefs and Id groomed it with the (easily applied) thumbs ups or downs, has given me exactly that kind of news channel stream I missed. I also like how easily I can swipe through a story Im not into. I often use this app on an iPad as my kitchen and it can also, of course, be sent to the TV with AirPlay. I dont write too many reviews here, but I feel this one might be a bit of an overlooked gem, and for me at least, its an absolute essential.

ENGLISH

Or give it to an illegal

Getting use to and liking this app

Its great for waking up and getting news bits and interesting other stuff. The more I use it, the more I like it. Also using another app called Otto which I also like. Recommended.

Videos do not play

No video would play on Wi-Fi or cellular

Terrible

The only reason why I downloaded this app was because it was promoted on Twitter to watch the DNC. Comes to find out, it wasnt on there. One of their employees had tweeted me to try a certain news channel. Wasnt on there which is just a bad reflection because its like do you even know about this app? Secondly, very confusing interface. You can search through channels, but not content? On top of that, they arent streaming anything thats breaking news either? I was reading a news article on cnn and went to this app, no word on it because I wanted more info. Stick with just visiting these news sites or Apple news.

Not much news

If you are looking for headline news, look elsewhere. The clips played well and you can easily navigate, but I saw just sports, slanted opinion, and minor news stories. Not a good news summary channel.

Skip

Old news. Switch and you have to put up with same 30 second add again and again

Flooded with unsubscribed channels

Please stop messing up my newscast with channels that I have not selected for following/watching. Of late more than 50% of news is from channels you guys want to promote for your own reasons / revenue.

Has potential

This app has potential. It has some good content, but needs to be organized better. A quick tutorial or how to would also be beneficial. Also, for a little while the app wouldnt open, it was just stuck loading.

Best video news app

This is the best app for watching TV news for free from a wide range of topics nationally and internationally. You can read news on there as well. Well build app and great service loving it. Here was my favorite part: I replied to their sign up email and their founder Adriano Farano wrote back to me.

Great concept

All news is going this way. Oddly, it doesnt automatically play the next segment it the queue. Is this a bug or intentional?
