Reviews for Breaking News Brief - US News

Automatically installed without permission after closing an ad. My reviews stating this keep getting deleted. I will keep reposting. (More information requested via copy/paste response?) The offending service appears to be “supersonic ads” there are several JavaScript programs in the cache, but the program “jquery-1.9.1.min.js” seems the most suspicious to me. Also, it was installed […]

I’m not even sure how this app got onto my phone but so far in the two days that I’ve noticed I have been inundated with random news articles, not even anything that would be personalized towards my preferences like other news apps do. I’m talking upwards of 30 notifications, and not like over 24 […]

This app is horrible and I’m not going to ever consider using it. There was an ad for it on a game I was playing and the ad said it’s an instant install ad so I clicked off of the ad and it started installing it anyways. I tried to click cancel on the download […]

I was watching an ad for this app. Didn’t click install or anything and I closed out of the ad and thought nothing of it. After closing the ad I looked on my home screen and there it was. I NEVER CLICKED THE INSTALL BUTTON. How can it just install itself it feels illegal! As […]

another complaint about their advertising practices. the ads should not be able to install an app without my permission. and it certainly shouldn’t install an app that collects data without permission. it’s a virus. don’t just leave a bad review, also click the 3 dot icon at the top right of your screen and report […]

Malware. I play Sim City BuildIt and when you select to watch an ad for quick completion time, this app comes up, and instead of a normal advertisement, immediately begins to install itself without permissions. So you either have to close the game in a hurry and beat the auto installer or repeatedly uninstall this […]

This app is absolutely terrible with its advertisement tactics. I don’t appreciate the loud noise, and instant opening of downloading everytime I have the unfortunate luck to get yet another ad from you. I despise your advertisement practices so much that I downloaded the app to give you a 1 star review and delete the […]

I like staying on top of the news without it taking all day. Breaking News Brief just gives the pertinent facts the moment it breaks. If you really want to stay on top of local or world news as it happens, I highly recommend this app cause it does just that. It gives you an […]

Almost feels as if a virus is running my phone making constantly interfering with pop ups, regardless how I clean it. Just a big scam, poor support, to busy to help or give any advice. I and my wife have each a Sam Sung Gallaxy and hers seems to operate sensibly but mine is virus […]

ILLEGAL AD Ads for this app pop up and are not able to be closed out. It automatically downloads the app when you try to even exit the app you were using that showed the ad for this app. Anything the makes any movements on your screen will imstall the app with no comfirmation, no […]

Can’t get this app to stop showing headlines on the lock screen. I’ve emailed them, no response. It’s one more step I have to do in order to get access to my main screen. I don’t recommend installing of you don’t like to jump through hoops to get to your main screen. Ridiculous built in […]

Intrusive advertising used by this app that automatically downloads if you click it on accident, such as while trying to close the ad. No warning, no popup, just auto installs itself. I only noticed because it started spamming me with ‘breaking news’ updates. This malicious type of advertising should get you banned.

Garbage. They’re basically a virus with how they advertise. Got a full screen ad that didn’t move for multiple minutes. When I swiped up to get my back button, it auto-installed. So I deleted. The same ad a few days later, the same result. Don’t know how it’s legal.

Auto-installs itself through an ad, without popping up google play or anything. Should be removed from the app store for it’s malicious tactics. I could definitely see someone installing this without knowing, because the only reason I knew it was installing itself, was because a tiny notification in the bottom right of my screen, barely […]

This app automatically downloads to your phone without permission and without warning, whenever you see an ad. However, unless you manually download it you can’t “rate” the forcefully downloaded app. Kindly remove this from the app store, this should be illegal if it isn’t already as many people are complaining about this issue.

I am uninstalling again. It appears that I keep getting this loaded back on my phone. Same problems persist…several articles are months old and in reading the headline, you think something new has come up, but it hasn’t, it’s just another rerun of the previous article. Also these ads & questionnaires appear before you can […]

0 stars. I don’t want/need this app, but it shows up as ad in other apps. no matter what I do to close that full screen app, this always installs. I don’t give it any permission to do that, and I have no choice in the installation. It’s a violation of trust & privacy as […]

I’m only installing, so I don’t get the worst ad possible to show up in a mobile game. Like there is no X button, and the Instant Install button is too instant and doesn’t even download from Google Play. And mind you, if you watch an ad for a reward but the ad doesn’t have […]

I am installing this just so I can complain about the ads for this app, which open a pop-up outside of the game you are playing. Then when you close that pop-up to get back to your game, the ad in the game opens the pop-up again, in a never ending cycle. This app and […]

This app was downloaded to my phone by a mobile ad. Their was no way to get rid of the ad, and when I clicked anything, it was autotomaticly downloaded. This happened multiple times. This is a scummy way to get people to download your app, and I hope you never find love because you […]
