I love Axios. The reporting is brilliant and succinct. My rating has nothing to do with the actual reporting you will find in this app. Seriously, it’s great and this app should simply exist on your phone if you care about great journalism. On a more technical note, despite the app being offered for iPad it is clearly designed for iPhone. Now, I love reading the news and staying in-the-know, I use my iPad the most to consume news. This app is simply not optimized to take advantage of the iPad’s large display size. I also like to read content in landscape mode, but this app was clearly designed for portrait. (If you open the app in landscape mode, you get a ton of empty white space.) Even the app images show the app in portrait mode. Overall, a very minor issue. I can still get and read Axios content on my iPad. Great. I just wish it was better optimized on iPad versus a pure clone of the iPhone version. The New York Times does this incredibly well. Axios, please take advantage if the large screens iPads have! The content is all great - it just needs a better, more beautiful, more custom home on iPad.
It’s difficult ,if not impossible to find any news source that can claim any banner line quotes “All the news that’s fit to be news”. I’ve been gobsmacked over Flu/ Covid so much so, that my vocabulary has taken a hike along with my smarts. The last 4 days were a nightmare of Halloween gone really bad. The symptoms, were mild mental hallucinations and a low fever100.8, knee joints acting like ball joints so walking was iffy and often required help or hanging onto the sides, torrential sweating, electric side panel headaches triggered by coughing, and now adding insult to injury that my dog might catch Covid? She has been my constant companion during this hellish event, hasn’t left my side. Therefore Flu/Covid, does it really matter when your in the inferno of the disease, it seems the symptoms are the same and you’ve reported that succinctly enough. The medicines to win back health are the same. I believe I have been the victim of Flu/Covid and it was hideous, I haven’t been that ill for 40 yrs.
After reading their about us page on their website, I was ready to have Axios as my main news source. The information is quick to read, gets to the point easily, and tells you exactly why it’s important. There are also subscriptions on their website so you can choose what info is emailed to you. Want to learn more about our relationship with China? There is a weekly subscription for that! Axios doesn’t have traditional advertising so their website & app are so easy to navigate. You’ll not feel bothered by pop up ads or accidentally click on something that takes you to a different page. I love Axios, and you will too!
I love this app and have been a reader for almost a couple of years now. Besides the great journalism, what I like the most about this app is that the articles are easy to read, but it used to show me which articles I have read. With the latest update a few days ago, it seems that feature has been removed. After I click on an article to read it now, it doesn’t show a read status so I have no way of knowing if an article I have read has been updated or not. I hope Axios will restore the simple yet important feature. Other than that, this is a great app. I will be more than happy to change my review to five stars if the feature is restored.
Axios offers quick and easy to read articulate and concise reporting of current news headlines. The ability to filter news by geography is also a great option for those looking for more locally-detailed reporting in their state, city, etc. the preview page allows readers to catch up quickly with basic facts, or dive in and show more of the article for the full in-depth details of top news events happening around the world. I highly recommend Axios for unbiased, accurate, and current reporting needs for anyone looking for the full spectrum of current news in an easy to use app.
Thank goodness, I’ve been going through basically every news app to find the perfect one and this is it. Axios brings your news in a scroll feed that offers not just titles but previews of the article that highlights all of the major details from beginning of article to end. None of that 20 min read that quickly turns from one viewpoint to the next and talks you from point A to point Z and some more. These are quick reads with all the RELATIVE info you need on the biggest stories. I LOVE IT
I love reading up on news via bullets. I feel like it definitely adds to the amount of relevant information I keep. I’ve been waiting for an app version for such a long time and it’s almost a seamless transition from everything I need off the web site. I would only recommend adding a switch from dark mode directly on the app. Currently, having dark mode applied to my iPhone presets the app in dark mode as well, making it difficult to read text on a dark background. Other than that the app is perfect!!
I was looking for an Apple News replacement after they raised the subscription cost. I evaluated several alternatives, and most turned out to be either clunky aggregates of news articles (many of which were hidden behind paywalls) or apps from politically biased media outlets. Axios - thankfully - delivers the news in a clean, easy to read format that sticks to the facts. I really appreciate the work they've put into this app.
I used to like this app, but in the last week, it’s been running constantly in the background. When I checked battery usage in the battery settings section, the Axios app was at 57%. It was causing my phone to uncharacteristically overheat. My battery was running out much more quickly than it ever had in the past. I’m not sure what changed with the app but I had to uninstall it. I enjoy Axios‘s news coverage, but I can’t keep the app on my phone if it’s going to cause this degraded performance on my phone. I’ll just stick with the email updates and their website.
I have subscribed to Axios emails for a few months now, and one of the emails suggested trying the app. I have only had the app for a couple of days now, but it seems to be working well. The sharing options support emails/Slack to coworkers, as well as sharing to other social media platforms. The ONLY thing that is lacking is a way to distinguish unread articles from already read articles in the timeline.
Axios presents a number of brief daily overviews of major news in major areas such as politics, trade, labor, technology,economics, public safety,environment, health, guns and race. I find these daily overviews easy fast reads that summarize main facts. They are backed up by options to read a deeper more complete discussion of the event or issue. I rely on these daily Axios presentations to keep up to date with news in number of key areas.
The articles are well written and mostly focused on business/tech and not so much popular fluff. But the app is full of bugs: if you open an article from the widget often it only loads the title, sometimes articles only appear as a single letter in the feed, sometimes the settings screen is blank - and today the app ran for 3 hours in the background, making my phone get really hot and running down the battery quickly. Developers are not always responsive. I think I’m going to stick with the website and avoid the app for now.
Axios has been my go-to news nearly since its conception, but my sole complaint to its brevity, option to deep-dive, and top quality writing has been the stack of newsletters that floods my email inbox and slightly increases increases my anxiety. Consider that gone with the app: same layout you expect, same great, simplistic graphics, consolidated in a digestible way in the app. Plus dark mode compatibility? It’s come a long way since the design stage and my inbox is feeling empty inside (literally).
3-4 years ago Axios was my favorite news source and a frequently used app. The news has gradually taken on a more alarmist tone. Axios i am already terrified of climate change so why the ceaseless articles that seem only to amplify those fears with little to offer beyond “be more scared”. The app update that removed the recent articles tab has really killed it for me. I do not want to search through 10 different sub tabs that have their own sub tabs to get to actual content. The quality of the content has diminished and the means of accessing that content has become burdensome and irritating. It’s a bummer.
Not exactly sure how to articulate this, but Axios has lost something important over the last two or theee years. It feels to me like it’s focus has shifted from it’s original excellence in journalism to revenue generation. It is no longer my first read each morning. More like number four or five, and I seldom feel as if my time has been invested as well as it was in the early years of Axios. Much of the writing now feels generic. AI? More focus on excellence in journalism and less on hyping its approach to brevity in writing. Solid idea, bland execution!
The Axios app provides important news stories in a streamlined format. I personally love not having to deal with glitchy graphics/videos and pop-ups obscuring the screen when I’m trying to read the latest news. I also really like that they stick with actual news content, rather than infotainment. The Axios app is the first site I check when looking for updates on what’s happening in the world.
Keeping it brief: There only few sources for this level of concise news and analysis. No other in the USA. Go deeper: Axios practices new-school-journalism, as opposed to the ‘talking-head, fear-mongering, bias-sensationalism’ that passes for journalism these turbulent days. Net-net: Give it a go, because one can be up to speed in as little as 10/15 minutes, regarding the news that matters to your life, both personal and professional.
Axios offers a brief, intelligent, competent and comprehensive news summary for those with only a few minutes available. There is also the option to go deeper and read further. With several “editions” available throughout the day such as AM, PM, WORLD, LATINO, plus podcasts that respect the listeners’ time limitations, Axios news has been an invaluable addition to my daily information intake.
It’s difficult to respect their journalism when it is presented within content that misleads readers. I’ve become more savvy at bypassing them when scrolling through articles, but it’s massively annoying that I have to focus on not mistakenly reading an ad. Also, between EVERY article? What a hassle. I get that ads are needed for revenue to keep the app free, but make it more obvious it’s an ad. I might actually read them if it wasn’t presented in such an underhanded way. Love the work of Axios; it’s a shame they pollute their journalists’ hard work with fake reporting.
Overall I like the app. Being able to access news without going to Safari on my phone is great. However, there is one feature I’d like to see added. For most apps, when you tap the menu bar option you are currently using on the bottom of the screen, you scroll to the top of the window. I know I can tap the top of the screen to make the same thing happen, but I find myself hitting the menu bar out of habit and nothing happens.
Thank you to the Axios team for finally rolling out the app. I’ve been reading Axios for the greater part of 2 years now and appreciate their fair and balanced view to reporting concisely. Relying heavily on daily newsletters to stay informed, I look for to not having a cluttered e-mail inbox full of news letter. This app is straight forward and intuitive. Will updates as I start using this app daily.
Axios - a quick pathway into credible well researched information
I have been a fan of Axios for many years - before the rename - and this team has been a constant source of solid information backed up by reliable data, etc, sources. It’s timely and as a mba professor, I often find topics that appear in Axios suitable for discussion with my students. And the cost, pretty well worth it! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I am a news junkie and I read all sorts of newsfeeds throughout the day. But my absolute favorites are Axios and Axios-Twin Cities. Smart Brevity makes it quick and easy for me to understand the most important news stories of the day. Plus, Axios is written with a style and sense of humor that brings a smile to my face. A great way to start each morning.
Hi! This is exciting to be here… where I feel like no one will really see me BUT the right people. Theoretically and fantasy speaking. Did I mention I am a bit nervous too? I don’t want to waste our time here together in this moment and I want all of us to get the best from it and life going forward, always. Now I just say that I am here because I have been thinking saying and researching and trying to study on why I am so interested in pursuing zoology - and this just have me a passion. This connects me to my own journey and world that unlocked a deeper dimensional safe haven. I am definitely going to keep this in mind as I go. Thank you for reading my letter!
Liking the clearly defined brief description of each news story. Articulate information about content of each article saves time by presenting a quick description of each one. Thanks for the thoughtful presentation of important information - every day.
Love the news app! Instead of just showing you sound bites like crime activities or celebrity events, they actually show you news that can impact people in our everyday life. Highly recommend it for those that want to continue to be informed in a fast efficient time.
Fantastic reporting and information delivered in short, digestible segments that’ll leave you feeling knowing enough to be dangerous but curious to go deeper. I love how the app lets me curate topics (highly recommend “charts”) and customize mobile push notifications on topics I want to stay immediately informed on. Highly recommend!
I’ve been using Axios to keep up with current news since 2018 in it’s website form. When I found out about the Axios App, I RAN to the App Store to download this app. The UI interface is sleek and intuitive with easy to read news “cards” and different categorical breakdowns if you want to keep up with emerging events and trends.
The Axios app provides a great opportunity to absorb a lot of the day’s news in very little time. I like their bullet-point summaries because they hit all the key points in fewer words. I think Axios also does well in providing both side of a political viewpoint. Another advantage: fewer words mean less bias.
Axios always writes on very interesting topics that show information on wide spread events in a new light. Their digestible format allows any reader to rapidly grok the big picture information in a fraction of the time it typically takes to read through and digest typical news articles.
Well Defined Subject, Limited Words, Timed Reading Articles
First the Articles Titles are indicative to what to expect to read. You are given the number of words the article is and how long it takes to read. Finally, if you are interested to dive deeper then just click “deeper” at the bottom. Very efficient Reading.
I like the app but there has been a change that is highly annoying. The go deeper button on the app use to just expand the article, now it directs you to another page and when you’re done reading instead of just scrolling down now you have to go back. Pls change it back.
I used the Axios app because it was a slightly more customized version of the website - which I liked. It is all around simple and clean. However, the app has been forcing me to sign-in or not use the app. I don’t have an account so now the app is useless to me. I get that # of sign-ups is an important metric for them but why be so aggressive?
In our daily lives, we find ourselves juggling many significant responsibilities. Axios, with its commitment to delivering current, precise, and well written news content, stands as an irreplaceable companion for individuals immersed in our fast paced world. I rely on this app for my daily news. I am grateful for their hard work.
I’ve been waiting my entire adult life for an app just like this. Everything is so easy to read and the articles just seem to flow one after the other. Kudos to the developers and kudos to the investigative journalists, all of you made a truly magnificent tool for everyone to use.
Short and directed News make me understand the distorted information coming from manipulators who want to get profits/make headlines nowadays. Unreliable sources of information are a disease and is therefore not good for public consumption. But this app introduces the topic and breaks down the reasons why such an information matter and even go further to discuss if you want to go deeper for more information. All very short and on point. Information dissemination made easy. I have started considering signing up for the Google IT upgrade to help me find better jobs. I got the information from this App. Thank you for a great job.

I use the Ground News app daily and have found Axios’ reporting to always be center and of high accuracy. Today I downloaded this app and love the simplicity and ease of use. Glad to be able to expand my reading of more Axios content with the confidence of gaining more truth and snuffing out all the real Fake News!
The content itself is great and certainly 5 star quality. This ranking is for app functionality and anytime I open this app all other media is paused or turned off which is inconvenient for multi tasking. I’ve noticed this issue across most forms of mobile apple devices (iPhone SE, iPhone 8+, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, etc) and seems to be an app dev issue. Hopefully this can be resolved!
I never have much time to read the news. It’s always a pleasure to catch-up with the world with Axios. The combination of news that affects our world and good feeling human interest stories keeps me up to date, but at the same time reminds me that all is never lost.
When I subscribed to IBD I enjoyed their encapsulated news section that provided the essentials of a story in a short summary, so I could dig deeper with other sources if I wanted to. The Axios app provides this structure and also provides the additional detail in an optional expansion of the story’s section. Hoping for an expanded section on world news.
One of the best news sources around, delivered in a modern way. The Axios newsletters are to me what the morning paper was to my parents 20-30 years ago. The articles are so well written for mobile consumption, accurate, impartial, and the app itself is designed with minimalistic perfection - a stark contrast to the overcrowded mess that is the CNN app.
Well organized, concise, and formatted to make information relevant, impartial, and accessible. I’m a fan of the service. Would like to see coverage extended into other subjects in media, science, medicine/health, international politics, and business. Helps make reading stories more focused to the relevant points, background information, and future significance.
I so appreciate that Axios presents pertinent up-to-date news factually and succinctly without all the hyperbole, opinionated comments, and second guessing of the press. I’m not saying that those news media are wrong, just that I most times don’t have time to wade through to get to the point. Axios is my first go to each morning.
I enjoy the in-depth reporting that I get. I see information before it hits the Big Three News Media. Sometimes they are late reporting. When I see those snippets of stories they broadcast, I sometimes already know and understand the whole story or the back story. I am a reader for information. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I have followed Axios since its inception. The app is excellent. Short and to the point news articles. The option to read further on a topic. Fantastic visuals alongside stories that make the writing that much easier to understand. You won’t be disappointed with this unbiased news source.
I love the way Axios shares information and this app makes a great job of presenting it in a clear and easy to navigate way. Gives you the option to choose the topics you want to follow and scroll to a series of highlights that you can choose to “Go deeper” in. Great app! Shout-out to the great developer team!
I’ve been at the newspaper business for over 30 years and it is my personal opinion that Axios is one of the very best apps for real news. Not biased or with an agenda, but filled with serious investigative journalism. And they just keep getting better every year.
Interesting App, destroys battery life in background
Great news app and very good interface, but cut my battery life by 70% from running in the background somehow. Even tried closing it but sometimes still would have the issue. Great app except that it makes my phone die within 6 hours, so I can’t keep it on my phone. After deleting, battery life returned to normal. Will redownload after an update to fix battery usage issues.
Axios app provides all the great reporting and graphics you get from the website. I would definitely recommend subscriptions to specific channels they have for politics, tech, autonomous vehicles, etc. The news letters are great as well and they give all the information you need on that topic.
The interface is very user-friendly and the journalism exhibits a great deal of talent. What I appreciate the most are the columns and other content that exhibit the personalities behind the journalists themselves. Axios appears to have some stellar staff members who demonstrate much creativity and originality with regards to the way they conduct their craft, which I greatly appreciate.
