Even with the autoplay setting off, it tends to start playing videos no matter what I'm doing in the app. So if I'm looking at help I have to back all the way back out to turn off the video. It also hops to new videos in the middle of videos. The PC (browser) version also has many similar bugs (volume control's really bad). I realize that the TV versions are their primary emphasis, but why have these apps if they're going to be so clunky.

This is a very good app, but they stated the premium version is commercial free. After signing up for the premium version, however; I was still getting as many commercials as before. I reached out several times with no response and out of total frustration, I finally cancelled the premium subscription. If you want a good news agitator and do not mind LOTS of commercials, use the free version.

Ads are in the wrong language (Chinese and Spanish in the Bay Area). Personalization is not that great, it still takes a lot of browsing to find the stories I care about. I also wish there were a wider selection of news sources. Update: Personalization got better, but the app (both on the phone and TV) became very slow. It often takes 30+ seconds for the next story to play. Also, the TV app now often freezes for a minute or two.

You can not get the app to stop sending you entertainment and sports news. I have down-thumbed those stories every time, I have NOT clicked that as an interest, yet, every 10 minutes, i get more entertainment and sports stories. HOW TO STOP THAT??? Otherwise, I like this app a lot and it acts differently on different types of TVs or phones or laptops. On some TVs i get offered a list for late night TV, but not on my other Tvs. odd. But i very much DO like being able to get the news from other sources besides the cable news channels. And i like that international news is offered. I do wish the late night option was offered on Every tv set i have.

When on mobile, there is an annoying drop-down that you can't get rid of that crowds the already crowded screen. the actual video is already small unless you go full screen, there's no comfortable in-between. Oftentimes the Segments are not complete. the app moves to the next video or ad at very odd times, before the segment is complete or a few seconds after they have moved on to another subject, which is extremely annoying and makes the app frustrating and useless. UNINSTALLED.

9/2025 still using this app for my News! this was my review 3 yrs ago 😉. (I'm still saying the same thing.) 3wks ago came across this app. Excellent source of the daily News. I've been recommending it to all my friends and family. So easy to navigate even for the elderly people like me. World news is more important than ever for all of us ❤️ appreciate HAYSTACK News tremendously.
