Funnel Comments & Reviews 2024

Would like to be able to rearrange stations more. I really like this app, and for that it gets five stars anyway. The GUI is easy to use and the sound quality is great. I haven't noticed any glitches. I'd like to see more radio stations/sources in the future, but am more than happy with the existing pool. One thing I really would like to see very soon is the ability to change the order of the radio stations. I think the ability to do so would significantly improve the pro-users' enjoyment of using this app. With the auto-start feature enabled, it'd only make sense to be able to rearrange the stations in the order of importance, according to each user's tastes and biases.

Great app!. International News in flash!

Really good for catching the American fake media in the act. I like this app. I used to listen to individual news bulletins on individual streams. But with this app I get news from around the world all in one place. Very convenient. But also very useful in helping notice the American media lying about or misrepresenting reality. Maybe if the app also featured news from South Africa, Australia, and an English-speaking Asian market that would be good too.

Awesome!. I love it! All your news is here

Awesome. If you’re looking for last minute news this is the app for you

Love the concept. Need iPad version.. Great concept. Doesn’t rotate to landscape orientation when devices are oriented this way.

Watch out! Deceitful App. You pay for the app to support it. Then they try to charge you an additional $9 to automatically play the news when the app opens. There is no price warning of $9 charge to unlock “pro” feature until after u pay

All leftist stations. Just like most of the corrupt liberal media, this app only includes liberal stations to continue carrying the left’s absurd, lunatic agenda.

Good app. Really like the app, give 5minutes of top news and there are several stations to choose from. Glad I got the app!

Don’t get this!. I clicked one button and I am now being charged $9.99 and could not retract my action : (

Simplicity. Great app to have but.... If it just had the ability to skip back or forward 5 10 or 30 seconds.

Lacking. The sever is so slow it will seem all your pro purchases are not loaded. Grossly flawed. Stream almost never auto load or auto play.

Outstanding app. A couple of nota benes: a widget would be a godsend and I reckon the station labeled as Fox 5 is actually plain old regular Fox.

Nope. In-app purchases barely noticeable.. There is something a tinge deceiving about the in-app purchases in the app!! The word "PRO" is shown in the tiniest font above what appear to be seemingly benign settings. Other than that there is NO WARNING or notice that you're about to purchase a $9 dollar feature only to auto play the news. Not good. Deceitful. Cheat.

Local NEWS agencies suggestion. Very useful app for catching up what's going on in the world just in a couple of minutes. It would be wonderful if you could add some other news channels like local News agencies. At the end please volume up VOA part :-D Thanks

Best hourly audio news summaries!. Funnel is the best source for hourly audio news summaries. I stay up to date with the latest news by listening every day. Request: please put SRN News back on! Ty

Why isn't there a widget?. I feel Iike you never really need to be in the app, it's like built as a widget but it isn't a widget.

Nice but.... This is a very handy app, I just wish the authors would make two changes. 1. Make it rotate for use on an iPad. 2. Put the PLAY button on the right and make it larger than the Add to Siri button.

$35 IAP. Unreal. If it was a reasonable charge, I'd be buying instead of leaving this review. I'm all for supporting developers but this is greed pure & simple.

Want to use it daily - but 2 missing features made me delete it. Still no fix for these missing vital features. Almost all my audio entertainment and information is via podcasts and/or streams. I actually keep 3 podcast apps on my iPhone because each has features I want/need. I would enjoy having an app like Funnel. With the pro version features it would literally be a one-tap source for news. But 2 major features that most podcast apps have are missing: 1) Registering it with the system as a spoken-word audio app. Because it is not recognized as such, if I am using a Navigation app the voice directions speak on top of the news playback. Subsequently I can’t hear several seconds of the news I’m listening to which usually leads to missing information relevant to the story. 2) Ability for short skips backward and forward in playback. You know this feature: you missed something and you want to go back a few seconds to hear it again. Or maybe you want to skip some audio to get to something else. Even more disappointing is that it doesn’t have these commands available via Bluetooth like most all other major non-Apple podcast apps do. I’ll be monitoring Funnel’s updates in case they add these must have features. When they do, I’ll pay for the pro version. In the meantime I’m glad I got the basic version when it was free.

Arabic language plz. Arabic language plz 😔😔😔

Crashes recently. I really liked the app and the idea behind it but recently it has started to crash and stops working after one minute of playing any of the news channels. Please fix it and I will fix my rating!

5/5. I dont know how i came across this app, but im glad i did. It would be nice if we had the option to add some spanish/mexican news-audio other than that this app is awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good if You Like Propaganda From the Establishment. Good if You Like Propaganda From the Establishment

What’s wrong with this app. I contacted you before and received no response. I purchased this app so I could press play and go on with my activities. After the last update I can no longer do that this app no longer plays in the background and my phone cannot fall asleep if it does fall asleep or I continue other work outside of the app it stops playing. I use to be able to press play allow my phone to sleep and the app would play all news sources and stop and/or I could just press play and go back to whatever I was working on as the Funnel app played to its completion in the background. Now I must stay on the app and I have to set my phone to never sleep and at times have to manually select the next news app to hear them one after the other. Will you please help me with this problem. Thank you Gale

Missing two essential features.. I’d happily pay double the asking price if I could skip back and forth like every other audio player and add my own feeds. SO close to having a dominating app!!!

Good app but. Good app but ads play even though I pay for this app....

Just Jim. Absolutely awesome app!

Wonder full. Wonderful

Love It. I love the fact that while working out at the gym, I can listen to the news.

My daily news radio app!. Funnel is my daily news radio app, simple and easy to use.

Hey Siri Support. My use case: in the shower every morning I say “hey siri play NPR” then I get the most current hourly update. That’s it. No ads, no audio commercials, no switching to another news source I don’t care about. A great effortless way to start the morning.

Looks great, simple, easy to use. Using this app nearly every day. Thanks for such a well built app! Highly recommended.

Amazing but had bugs even with PRO purchase. This is the one app I use DAILY. I started to notice bugs with it and figured if I upgraded to the pro purchase that might resolve them but it still continues. I would like to cancel the purchase as it’s not helping.

Love this app, but it needs more power.. We need a way to choose the audio output / source. It would be great to be able to download. Minimalism is great, but the app needs a little more function.

Clean and simple, but maybe too simple.. I really like this app, it's great for what it does and i use it several times a week. A glaring omission is a 10 sec back and 10 sec forward skip found in all podcasting apps. Please add this simple feature in and I'll gladly review it at 5 stars.

I love the news of today '. I love the news of now

Not Working Properly. After I updated my phone to IOS 17.0.3 the app isnt functioning properly and the message stops when the screen goes dark

Awesome. Useful. Simple. No glitches !!!

Poor controls. Poor interface feedback, limited controls

CarPlay?. I love this app. Would love to see it available in CarPlay.

We need iPad. We need iPad

Some other voices. It is pleasant to see some news with a different spin (much less I think) than the regular broadcast news.

Please provide custom source option for pro users. Please provide custom source option for pro users

Crashes when screen goes to sleep, dev not active?. Used to be my go-to news feed for the morning commute, even paid for the pro upgrade. App started to crash when phone display goes to sleep in iOS12. App hasn’t been updated for 9 months, other apps by G2 LLC haven’t been updated for years. Abandonware. Use Apple podcasts with stations instead. Does the same thing but works with Siri and HomePod.

Can’t use in app purchases. Can’t use an app purchases for this product

Timing. Instant loading

Ads squeezing. It seems developers are squeezing ads, something back a few years ago ads did not play.

A very good app but for some minor stuff. The app takes somewhat high data and even on a wifi connection it needs a pretty high one to load the news. The other thing I really want is offline saving. For example when m going to my job I want to download all the available news for that time and listen offline. That would be a nice thing. The app is beautiful. I like the minimum features. No need to mess with many settings this way. Just open and start listening.

Unauthorized Charges. Thought I liked the app until out of nowhere I get charged $7.65 on ITunes account for “Pro Settings” which I did not authorize. Deleted the app.

Waste of time. No news. Keeps telling me an update is waiting but is not syncing

Total waste of time and money!!. I purchased and installed the app and I was advised by each news service the next update would occur in a couple of hours. When the time for the update was reached each news service stated that the next update would be in another couple of hours. The problem is the application never displayed any articles for any of the news service. Of all of the apps I have purchased (several hundred) this is the worst ripoff I have encountered, as you literally don’t get anything!! My advice is stay away from this “app”.

Love it. Simple and beautiful. I love the little bounce effect as I scroll through the channels. I tried to find you on Twitter too! It would be great if you could add ABC News Australia.

Great. Have been using this religiously for a couple of weeks. Would be great to be able to add some more sources. Don't know if possible but it would be amazing if the news could be my morning alarm too.

More sources. Really needs more sources from other outlets especially internationally e.g. Australia

BBC News won't sync. BBC News does not sync after recent update. Also, despite requests for supporting Australian News, the app still does not include a single Australian news, making the app leas appealing.

No option to purchase pro?. Opened app and only asks me to restore a Pro purchase. No in-app option to purchase.

Pro version no longer auto play.. Love the app, however the app no longer auto play despite purchased pro version. iPhone Pro 13 iOS 16.1.

Hate it. Most annoying: tight integration with siri. I do not use siri for anything. Completely off. So the huge Add to siri button that cannot be removed is a deal breaker. Second, each source appears to be one big block of audio, no chapters, no titles, not even an indication of length. How is this better than radio? Removed

Simple but good. I use every morning to hear the news in a quick way.

can’t play in background. audio will cut out after 10 seconds if you leave the app on my iPhone 8

I'm furious. You guys made me pay for the app first and then $2.7 extra for autoplay just to find out that autoplay doesn't work. Fix immediately or refund me the $2.7 extra I paid for a non-working simple feature.

Doesn't do what it says. Not sure why I had to pay to unlock all of the features when said features don't work. The app plays one newscast and then stops. Disappointed.

Great idea but, Does not play on launch!. Now over 2 years later and STILL waiting for a fix. Not playing on launch! , stops playing, closes suddenly

Just one issue. Hi this app is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much. I just don’t like the app icon. I hate the white border. Can you please create a more modern app icon without the white space. Your app UI looks very modern and clean but the app icon looks like an app from 10 years ago. I want to put this app on my first screen but it doesn’t looks good.

I like it. Simple but that’s what I like about it. It’s basically like having a Radio Station with just the best News Channels.

Great at what it does.. Great at what it does. It is not a storage Hogg like so many apps that burn space. It works well and does what it says. Would give 5 stars if it had more news sources. But perhaps that’s the point of it. Simple efficiency.

Custom play order is needed. Auto play fix coming is helpful.

Scam?. Paid for full app. News stops playing when phone goes to sleep. So can’t actually hit play and go about other activities — need to keep app active and phone awake. App Support link in AppStore redirects to some b******t Amazon loyalty scam.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Love the app. But I loved your previous icon! Why did you guys change it?

Settings?. How do I find more settings? What are the "Pro Settings" that you can purchase? How would someone purchase if they were interested?

Good for when you're doing stuff. Sometimes I have my hands occupied (practicing Melee tech skill), so I can't browse regular news apps. This app has a good mix of news sources, each condensed in about 5-7 radio shorts. There is an IAP (0.99) to AutoPlay them, and I might consider getting it so I don't have to manually play each source. Interface is minimalist and colorful. 🤘🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌

Beautifully Designed App!. This app makes audio news accessible to anyone and everyone. The user interface is slick, and the news is interesting. It's very easy to pick up to listen to the news.

Simply loving it. Love this app so much wondering if u guys could support Apple CarPlay? So we could listen it in cars too.

The UI!. The UI is really well designed! I love the gestural naturalness and the behaviors of the individual cards. The color schemes are well done and the entire app is a work of art. Well done!

Decent not great. For $3.99 I would like to have more news sources and the ability to arrange them in the order I want. I will pay for this app. when there are more features like the ones mentioned above. Also the news clip are too brief. I have a podcast app that does what this app is trying to do already.

Great app. Like the app but auto play is broken.

Best way to start my day. Wake up and can get all the news I need right away! This update has such a clean logo and user interface keeps getting better!!

Missing crucial options. I have no idea what news sources "fox 5," "srn," and "fsn" are. There is no way within the app to easily find out. In today's world, it's pretty important that you choose your news sources carefully. This app presents you with all of 7 options and assumes you know who they all are or doesn't care if you don't. I don't like listening to/watch news without knowing who the source is first. You can never be sure of what you are about to see--lies, truth, violence... more information, please.

I can't recommend this enough. The best news app hands down.. Hands down the best news app. It's simple, it's clean, and it does exactly what it intends to do. I love the design and the functionality it holds. Only reason it isn't five stars is because there are a few bugs here and there that need to be worked out and that there are only seven news sources. But once those bugs are fixed and more sources (maybe reports on different topics?) then it will be a quality app for sure.

Nice. Good

Simplicity at its best. UPDATE: Still love the app but that app icon... now it's too similar to the Farfetch icon. Differentiate and design something better, the app itself is beautiful so I know you can conjure up a better icon than the current "F" So many apps have such clunky interfaces. I saw the pictures of the app and it was an instant download... beautiful app design of such a simple yet necessary idea. Noticed the feature to auto play and was prompted to pay. It was a no brainer to pay $0.99. Keep up the great work. Thank you!

Great service. This service is easy and straightforward to use. The news I get is a great wrap up of the day and very informative. Saying this there is a problem that I can't ignore. Mainly that once the video is paused outside of the app and is being played again it goes to a totally different time stamp that when I paused it at. Other than that great app and would love to see what is in store for the future!

Great App - But please add speed controls. Please add the ability to play back at 1.5x, 2x, 3x! I listen to my podcasts & audio books at 2x+ and I want to burn through the news at the same pace.

Simple n clean. Simple n lite app for quick daily dose of news. Just what is needed from this app.

Perfect application. Clean. Pretty. Perfect tbh

Great News. With so many bad sources out there it's great to have an app that brings me news on current events from all the credible news outlets!

Smooth. This UI is so smooth and really highlights the audio. Love it

Simplicity... I get it, but..... I want more news; I want categories of news; I want to have enough content that if I want to leave the app open there will be something for it to play for me... What it is now should just be the initial default, then have other more refined categories and sources to play if the user desires to do so. There's a lot of news pod casts out there, incorporate those! I like simplicity as much as the next guy, but this is simplicity to the point that the apps usefulness and utility are feeling paper thin... it feels nice at first but after a while you start to wish it had certain features or some other content source you would like to hear.... but that's a no go. This app oils excel and keep its simplicity if it would just give a tiny bit more to the users.

My New Primary News Source. Paid for all the Pro Purchases. So worth it for a smooth, hands-free UX. Great developer support, highly communicative.

News for the next generation. I don't like to read the news. I don't like all of the reposts from bogus news sites on Facebook. I don't like ads, or sifting through 40 minutes of a special on NPR about an endangered species of fern to find real news. This app solves all of those problems. Lightweight, responsive, up-to-date, simple, affordable, and curated perfectly. Funnel has quickly become a Top 5 app for me and am always recommending it to my peers. I do miss the old icon, but I have a hunch on why it had to be changed. At least the app retained its colorful personality! EDIT: Uodated to showcase a "new" icon design that is much closer to the original. Colorful and fun again! Bravo.

Better!. Amazing app, the simplest and cleanest form of news in my opinion Edit: thank you for the auto play fix!

Great design and implementation. Nice and simple, great transitions. Love to get my simple news updates in one place. I would recommend to others and give 5 stars if auto play wasn't an in app purchase

Catch up on news with awesome app. Great looking app. When I wake up I just start this app and it plays various news outlets quick audio summary of latest news. The sounds this app make are very classy. The navigation within it is fun. You can customize the news sources by removing the ones you don't care for. I upgraded to auto play from one news source to next. All works great.

👍👍👍👍👍. Funnel absolutely fills a void in the abundance of news apps. Quick information that's updated regularly and frequently (every hour), credible sources, and an easy user interface that's stunning in its simplicity. Truthfully I never want to get my up-to-date news any other way now.

Great! A couple requests!. I love the focus and simplicity of this app. Just short news reports updated when they're updated, and the ability to turn sources on and off. Would be better if it had more clarity in-app about what you are listening to so it's easier to pause (similar to the common "now playing" bar we see in other audio-playing apps, only something more elegant as this app deserves that!). Also skip forward and back controls (maybe 5s?) would be really great as sometimes you want to skip a story and scrubbers are a little tricky on phones.

Autoplay Fix. Will very much welcome a fix that allows the autoplay switch to actually do something. I like the app. Any chance you'll add more news sources?

Soheil. This APP used to be superior news podcast. But since ios17 the BBC news no longer works or connect. All the other eight news pod casts works properly. Please fix the issue with BBC news cast. Thanks.

Great App. Best and most efficient hourly news app.

👍🏻. Fan-tastic app

Great App I've Been Waiting For. I've been looking for an app like this forever. Hopefully more sources come along.

Perfect. Just a simple and perfect app. Utterly useful.

Great app!. Fantastic news app. UI is beautiful and the animations make the app feel extremely fluid and fast. Audio playback is super fast as well, loading times are pretty much zero! Fantastic app.

Lovely Concept, Inadequate Pro Features. Love the functional simplicity of this app. While $0.99 isn't much to pay for a useful thing, the features included in pro add convenience, but not significant functionality or any additional content.

Works great. Just need some more news sources...Reuters would be a great add...

Indispensible for quick news on the go. Slick design, terrific and subtle sound effects, expanding news sources, all offered free. That's a 5 star app in my book!

Simple & clean!. It's great so far, and as soon as the auto-play bug is resolved, it should be even better! I'd love the ability to rearrange sources rather than simply turn them off or on, but again, it's great to see a well-designed app that also functions well! Also, the developer answered my email literally less than 60 seconds after I sent it!

So good. Worth it!!!

Simple but lacks sources. I love the app's simplicity. It would be better if there are more various sources to listen to, though.

App. Please offer the ability to add or delete stations.

Good Concept. Good concept but it needs more new sources and lacks topic customization. As a result, most of the time all I heard was just political news about Trump. I would like to hear an array of news topics.

Great app. Very simple and gets job done to update me every day. Would love to see a couple of sports updates as well (i.e. ESPN Radio's hourly update; its available on TuneIn), but otherwise really great.

Updated: Great App, Responsive Dev.. Thanks for quickly fixing the auto play bug! Love the new icon! I would love to be able to change the order of stations. Thanks.

BBC not working. Could you please update a bug fix as BBC channel is not working at the moment.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making this.

Great idea with some technical issues. In love the idea of this app, but the update time in each card seems completely unrelated to new content being available. Will happily make this part of my daily routine if that can be fixed.

Almost ready to replace one of my old favorite apps. This app mirrors a lot of the functionality of one of my favorite old apps that is about to become obsolete with the new change the 32-bit programs. One problem that this app faces is that you cannot leave the app and have the audio still play. I want to be able to use my GPS in the car while still getting my morning news. It seems strange that I have to have the app open to listen to my favorite news podcasts

Perfect. Such a great simplistic app. I no longer need multiple apps to listen to various news sources.

App is cool, new icon blows. Updated:. Now I can proudly put this on the first home page again! Thanks for changing and adding more channels. 5⭐️ now. Why did you take away the icon? Ugh. I like the app and use it daily. Did I mention I hate the icon? Still no new icon so it's on the second page of apps. Shallow but this drives new nuts.
