Decent app. Would give four stars if the news flashes showed the full text of the headline, like the BBC or Bloomberg apps. Currently the news flash headlines are cut off, so I don't know whether it's worth clicking on the story. Would give five stars if that were fixed and business coverage were better (more of the Edge, Malaysian Reserve, Focus Malaysia).

Overall the app is good but i wish if your team can enhance the news notification the way it notified the user, preferably if newswav can display just one notifiaction icon on the handphone top part and if more than one notification, it will be in pulled fown method, if not all your notifications will b flooded the phone's notification bar....please look into it. Thank you.

Overall its quite good. However I hope they revamp the notification system. For too many times a saw a notification, clicked on it, but it just brings me to the front page, when I click the Notification Tab, it shows me some old long ago notification which frustrates me. During GE15 night itself, the server was overloaded and the app crashed multiple time as well. Hope the developers can improve on both issues.

First , it was working fine . But as time go on, the ads are getting intrusive and full screen ads! It's very disturbing when you are reading and browsing news . Very sorry , Devs. You will have to do something about this or everyone will uninstall just like what I'm doing now...until then.....I will consider installing it again.

The app is terrible. For some reason by default it went through my do not disturb mode and there is no setting to silence the notification except from my system setting where i need to disable it one by one. The design itself feels like a knockoff instagram and sluggish in term of performance. Too many unimportant news inside the app imo. Edit 1: thx dev for replying. understood about the android 9 requirement. about the notification, the only option i see is not getting all the news notification. there is no setting to make the notification silent (not ringing or vibrating). i think you need to tweak the code to follow system profile setting since all apps notification in my phone silence or not based on my DnD mode. i just want to get the notification silently, not disable it.

I like the app as I can get news from different sources, but it can be improved upon by adding more features to optimise the more important news rather than some publishers getting more exposure than others. One such publisher is Newstrack live of which the articles I have no interest in. Basically it would be better to have a feature to blacklist or remove publishers from view.
