What users are saying

1. Somebody told me ," Countrywise, there are different versions of cybertronic gadgets." Moreover, there is high-tech sci-fi digital propaganda warfare cyber network operating....The app had been improved in certain areas but had been downgraded in very important areas.The app no longer auto cache news materials,when u come back offline the news is gone, you now only find a blank interface as against the previous version where u can read news cached offline.This new version no longer support widget,widget gives u the ability to view news headlines right from your home page,d audio cast no longer play in d background, I hav to stop using d app,pls return these features!Radio means radio only.

2. The developer feedback email address bounces and office 360 says it does not exist.I want to say that this is very informative app as i get credible news and information always i will give five stars, but from last update i am facing a strange problem that whenever i open the app it says no internet connection eventhough my internet is up and running than i have to close it two three times and than open it or sometimes i have to use vpn to open the app it is very annoying, so this is my humble request that please look into this matter and please fix this issue thank you.I was glad to find this app.

3. Now there are "forced" notifications of news articles (which I could block) but this major new version of the app (unannounced) truncates articles at a particular number of lines so you can not read the whole article! The new version also starts playing audio by default which is really bad since often that is not appropriate.

4. It would be good if more news to be posted.Excellent news reporting, but app user interface is terrible.

5. However, nostalgia won't make up for the lack of background playback! I can't put on some headphones, lock the screen and throw my phone into my pocket! I can't even navigate away from something I'm listening to browse other content! It seems this and some other functionality used to be in older versions.

6. It helped me listen to my country news while at work and on travel etc... my comments it would be great if we can access back full news right from this app like on the web.

7. Please put them back! They are fundamental to a good media playback experience.Quality reporting, global perspective, elegant interface.

8. The VoA app offers customizable news categories and type sizes.

9. But ... the listed program title often is actually something else -- music instead of news, etc.

10. I wish I can forward and back but no option like that on dayily news.

11. One for your short list.Most of the apps I have found quite good , But some were sham .
