Excellant app that allows me to access news with no frills and no hassle. I recommend purchasing the Add Custom Sources in-app purchase. I also had to contact Customer Support—assistance/reply was quick, helpful, and solution worked.

Great App for Near-Continuous News
A good idea with some bugs
After updating the app does not appear in the menu bar when I restart my computer. Also when playing multiple sources, it often skips to a new source before the last source is completed. I note this especially with “ABC Hourly News”. Hope they update soon to fix these bugs.
Keine eigenen News-Quellen
Die App unterstützt nur wenige vordefinierte News-Quellen. Eigene Podcast oder RSS Feeds können nicht hinzugefügt werden. Damit ist die App ziemlich nutzlos, wenn auch hübsch gemacht. Das Zwangs-tutorial beim ersten Start ist etwas zu lang / ausführlich (jeder einzelne Button wird erklärt), was aber nicht weiter tragisch ist.
Works Great
Great addition to internet radio and music subscription services.
ohhhhh the news
its okay, i would have liked specific news on medical technology, regular technology, automottive technology, building technology, air travel, space travel, mining technology, industrial technology, & other new things in the world. the news from this app is just old office boys news. news about crime, immigration, fishing boats & borders, road repairs, airport delays, holloywood gossip, & sports is all boring to me. i am not trying to offend anybody, when i saw the app. i thought the app. is new , the news must be new too !!
Great for hearing news
I like its lack of frills. Its extremely polished, with a minimal, but very useful interface. It has a huge list of sources, though I would like to be able to add sources manually so I could get more local news.
Buggy, and ultimately useless.
In Mavericks, this app froze, forcing me to restart the computer. The second time around, I was able to access the settings, but was unable to scroll down the list. I got fed up with it, and deleted the app outright. Waste of money.
