Inshorts Customer Insights

1. However there are many improvements to be made such as providing the user with all news articles at once and giving him the choice about what he wants to read instead of swiping News cards and reading what appears.

2. Thirdly, it should not show news which have been already read when I open the app later and only new articles should be shown.It happens to be my goto app for news.

3. I m giving 1 star now as this apps is showing already read news at top always for couple of days now.

4. I will update my review and give better rating once the issue is fixed.I have been using this News App since it was released.

5. Gives good news and content is precise and to what the user wants to read.

6. It has followed a pattern which just needs content with crazy headlines to pull in more readers than the authenticity of presentation and prioritisation of the important news.

7. However, once I swipe up for next news my media volume becomes zero and my paused music doesn't resume automatically (which is unusual for any app).

8. I like the information cards that appears in between while reading news.

9. I hope it will soon get fixed..Stop giving me celebrity news even when I've tried disabling it.

10. Very concise news with links for additional reading.

11. But with latest update the app is just mixed up into something where there is no way to know which news i have read which i didn't.
