Good app overall, but interlaced ads It provides news and alerts both locally and nationally. Alerts are balanced and relevant. Good source for common news, but the ads are frequent and interwoven with the news, so it's really obnoxious; the ads are designed to look like news items. I hate that. Otherwise would have given it 5 stars -even though this is tailored news.

Jeff Nuzum

Used to love. Not now I really don't like the new updates. Where did all the news categories go? And if you want to follow a topic I need a yahoo account? I am finding myself using other apps more now. I'm really only writing this in the hope Yahoo makes some changes. This used to be one of my favorite time killers.

Marcus Pearson

I dont need to see the comments I cannot find how to disable comments. On my phone when you open any story comments automaticly open at the bottom of the screen. Most of them are racist or just plain stupid. I dont need to see a racist comment from some podunk dirt farmer in the middle of nowhere. If i cant figure out how to dismiss them im deleting this app

Rich Palmer

Can't comment or view comments If you are on yahoo news site, you can no longer see or make comments without launching the app, then scrolling down 50 stories to find the story you just read. I will no longer be following the news using Yahoo. Whoever thought this app up is a moron, and should be fired immediately.

Lo Rod

Hate app... To much racial hate on this app!!! Yahoo! Why do you let so many racist people comment on your app? It is very disturbing all the racial slurs I have seen. You really need to control it. I am deleting your app because of it. Do a better job of filtering your comments section or just get rid of the comments section all together... Very disappointed!

JEAN Halsey

PIA Interesting stories but now far too many irritating pop ups and offensive, graphic advertisements of male sex organs. I should be able to block any ads I do not wish to see, especially since I will never have a use for viagra

The stories sometimes has conflicts and typos but other than that - interesting. The other issue that Hey Koach J! Can you give me a call at your earliest convenience, please. Coach Marcus at the end are deeply infused with hate and racial divide. The article could be about how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and in the discussion board someone will turn it into hate and racial divide.

Khaleesi Snow November 13, 2016

Comment Notifications What's the point of making comments if there's no way to get notified of likes or replies? This used to be available on the mobile Yahoo site. I noticed it was gone so I downloaded the app and it is not there either. I used to be able to see a full list of any article I commented on. Now I would have to search for the story again and try to find my comment to see if I got any replies!

Yahoo June 12, 2014

Something we're looking into. Thanks for the feedback!

Jennifer Buskey November 2, 2016

Why do I have to go from your Yahoo home page on my phone to your Yahoo app just to read comments??? This is ridiculous. Changing my home page - I'm not going to a separate app when I want to comment. Can't you just leave things alone??? Oh well, I was getting pretty sick of the obvious bias on Yahoo anyway...

Jason Quackenbush November 1, 2016

Tired of the extreme liberal bias Every push notification about the news is extremely depressing or extreme liberal bias. It's about time for someone to have a fair and balanced new report that just tell.. oh I don't know.. the news?

Brian Jackson November 13, 2016

Brian I sure like the old version a lot more than this one. Is there any way to go back to the last version. I was not allowing it to update then it did it on its own. Not happy with the new update. Please let me go back or let me know how

Dave Clayton November 8, 2016

Dave C The new format is beyond terrible. Whoever came up with it should be killed and eaten... Now the "new" version won't even load. It keeps saying "oops, something went wrong". I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times with no change. GARBAGE !!! Same situation.... does anyone monitor this feedback? I have not changed my settings, it doesn't matter if I am on wifi or 3G.... WAKE UP AND FIX THE ISSUE !!!

pmislov742 November 7, 2016

Nothing but usa politics There are no news for this stupid people other than trump, clinton and the kardashians.... seems like news for them is to stalk retarded people who got too much money and still dont even pay for what they wear because its publicity for the maker..... YAHOO PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT OTHER THINGS NOT ONLY THE UNITED STUPID AMERICANS (the three mentioned above).... where are the follow ups on the natural disasters? Where are the reports of diseases outbreaks? Where are the real news?

Tony Webster October 31, 2016

Yahoo is in the tank for the democrats! This affiliate is so pro democrat and doesn't even try to hide it. The American media has become a pro Democrat rally cry to the point it's scary. If our grandfather's who fought and suffered in WWII could see the way this country has turned out they would be ashamed. Big money has taken over our country and having these two losers to chose from for president is embarrassing. Hopefully Trump will at least give us better supreme court justices. I'm sorry that this is where we're at. CONSTITUTION!

RWBerlin89 November 13, 2016

Opinions Mixed With News The political articles contain "liberal" commentary if you pay attention to the adjectives used. I love to read the user comments after reading the articles. We are an angry country with many people who seem to need to vent.

Skot Norris October 31, 2016

New Yahoo Sucks Bring back thumbs up and down. Make it so I can find my comments and respond to those who responded to me. In other words put it back the way it was and stop fixing things that ain't broke

Jesse Lopez November 11, 2016

Horrible Everytime you start reading a story an ad or something pops up. Screen goes blank and no way to x out. Does it over and over again. Also content is bad. Almost no actual stories and most are poorly written.

Mark Scheffner November 2, 2016

New Format stinks I click on many stories ONLY to have them BLACK/BLANK PUT. Making it unreadable. So I need to go all the way out and back in and try again. Which doesn't always work either. Why does every thing always need improving when it doesn't

Mark Sweet November 12, 2016

read your news stories before posting App works like it should just not sure if anyone proof reads the stories. To me the stories are either false or click bait headlines. I remember when Yahoo had accurate news feeds not this 6th grade enquirer mentality.

Mark McD November 1, 2016

Liberal slant, very biased Yahoo keeps on changing their format, accordingly it has become lesser than what it was years ago. In addition it is obviously liberal biased and not fair in reporting the news. I realise that in many cases it just links different news sources but it occasionally has a Yahoo news story, most of which are liberal biased.

Laurraine Weekly November 9, 2016

Too biased on stories You continually serve one side of the political party and not the other. Democrats aren't the only ones that read the media and the news. If you could play fair and balanced you'd be a much better news organization. The election has shown you that.

Robert Johnson November 3, 2016

Hillary's going down Anyone who votes for this lying, conniving, back->stabbing cackling shrew is totally blind, totally deaf, & totally void of logic & reason. You just want your free stuff...

April Dominguez November 2, 2016

Changed format New format is only ok... You have to know what subject you're searching for... Rather than suggestions to scroll through. You could miss out on news you didn't know you wanted to see.

November 3, 2016

Political brainwashing/agenda driven As corrupt liberally as FOX is for Republicans. Too much racial instigation and click baiting. Seriously sleezy. Was once my favorite place to read the news. Bye bye.

Christopher Winchell November 6, 2016

News feeds are often trashy It is difficult to think of this as an app for serious news readers. One of the most significant problems is the fact that users can repost articles with their own comments above the title. This results in news feeds with irrelevant articles (idiots posting political stuff in the Science category), and it forces one to wade through what are often ridiculous or offensive comments while browsing for an article to read. Most people will probably get fed up and then find an alternative news source.

Michael Casey November 3, 2016

The new comments format is the worst thing yahoo has ever done. There is no way to have a discussion anymore because there is no way to see any replies to your comments. Way to really screw up a good thing yahoo.

mark s October 29, 2016

Terrible update MY REVIEW UPDATE 10-29 same as 10-22. No change No better.THIS APP WON'T ALLOW YOU TO VIEW RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMENTS OR SEE YOUR COMMENTS OR DISLIKE A COMMENT or link your posts to your computer. Yahoo Communism lack OF FREE SPEACH DON'T UPDATE TO THIS ONE SIDED NEWS MAGAZINE THAT IMPRISONS YOU. I'M NOT SURE IF REAL COMMENTS ARE BEING POSTED!!!!! BEWARE

November 9, 2016

I like it but... I like the app but you can't see replies to your posts...unless I just don't know what I'm doing. But I've looked everywhere. Other than that and the app reloading every 10 mins, taking you back to the top of the news feed, it's not bad.

Fall Guy October 31, 2016

Bring back old yahoo I miss the old yahoo, articles were sorted and presented to me about the things I liked. Now it's just the same as the other news apps, only worse. I used the old app more than any other. Very disappointed.

G Rouse November 5, 2016

Not good Used to be able to read comments in a yahoo article....now I have to launch an app and search for the story to read and make comments. That's many steps makes it useless.

Will Pettingill October 30, 2016

Its got allot of one-sided articles. Very very liberal. And also very very false articles as well to. It's incredibly biased. The app runs okay though. I'm just not going to use it

Daryl Maly November 3, 2016

All the news is skewed and filtered. If I really want to know what's going on in America, I have to watch PBS or BBC

Braden Shain November 14, 2016

Yahoo is the worst "news" outlet Forgot how one sided and ignorant Yahoo has become. Its always about how bad republicans are, how great Killary is and the Fatdashian clan. Seriously, why are there articles on that family everyday? I guess because your average reader does not care about REAL or IMPARTIAL news. Yahoo is as worthless as a tabloid magazine.

ghostrider01t November 7, 2016

Leaning Left? The app is great. But come on Yahoo, can you at least "ACT" like you are an impartial media outlet? I mean really. Trump hater, Clinton baiter. You are media, remember?

Ryan Riddell November 9, 2016

Awful Could've been a decent news app if they didn't put the top comment with every title before I've even opened the article. It's usually something massively hateful or politically misinformed so it sucks. We need less negativity in our lives and Yahoo feeds the trolls.

Anna Clark November 14, 2016

News All comments posted by W william on all articles posted are hateful and distracts from reading the article. Please stop the comment portion, other news app don't allow. The negativity is not productive and drives hatered. I HATE READING HATE COMMENT BECAUSE IT PUSHES MY BUTTON TO REPLY IN TURN AND THAT IS DISTURBING. So please close the comment site so I can read the articl in peace. PLEASE.

Terry Hoover November 12, 2016

It stinks! Got the app, never keeps me logged in. Go on registration Yahoo and click SEE REACTIONS to....you know, see reactions, and it dumps me into the main app with no clue where I can find the story.

Joe McDonald November 1, 2016

Content Bias I see little a lot of bias in the Articles you choose or not to choose. What if the viewers / readers decided what is important?

lyle pressley October 30, 2016

Non-stop glitches Uninstalling if the next update doesn't fix the "something went wrong" glitch that happens everything I click on the lock screen pop ups. Good news, when it works....

Jane Mergler October 30, 2016

Stale and sometimes unintelligible: Some stories are maintained for weeks unchanged. Some are difficult to comprehend as if composed by "AI." Too much emphasis on entertainment news and not on hard news stories.
