Hummingbird Customer Insights

1. Never experienced this in any news reader app, even the default Microsoft News app does a better job.Simply amazing! Built-in ad block, dark mode, reading mode, customizable news categories and article history!? This app has been thought out quite well and I hope it continues to build on top of what's already great about it.Trash. Does not pick up on personalization, does not allow blocking of keywords to avoid useless news, does not even provide local news even when you approve location settings.

2. Fantastic Job! I would highly recommend to anyone as tbe best news reader I've yet used anywhere.I have uninstalled the app since I kept getting content that I am not interested in and disliking stories did not seem to make a difference.

3. I keep getting unrelated U.S. Political news from the Science and Tech section even though it wasn't even selected on my mix.

4. There's no intelligence in this app to speak of, artificial or not.This app looks nice and runs well, so maybe it's me, but the apps feed section doesn't seem to pay attention to the users picked topics very much.

5. This was a pathetic attempt to catch up with Google's feed, and it failed miserably.It's very good and my only complaint is that when using dark mode the splash screen is white and that can be a problem at night.

6. We'll see if it catches up to other apps like Flipboard.This news app lacks a built-in adblocker.

7. I find this news SO much more enjoyable than just the #1 headline in any category like you'd see in other news apps.

8. I don't have a single political option chosen at all, but a lot of what's in the feeds "Your mix" tab is political articles, it seems the things I've selected are least of what's in my feed.Surprisingly bad coming from Microsoft.

9. There are some simple ways you can make the UI much more pleasant to use.I love this app! I actually much prefer it to the Microsoft News app.

10. The algorithim (idk how you spell it) really picked up on my finnicky interests fast, and without even reloading my feed began populating on-target stories for me, which makes it hard to put down in a great way.

11. In order to get to the ... menu (context sensitive menu for each story) so I can say "I don't like this story" I end up clicking the story (several times) because the sensitive area is tiny.
