I’ve had this app for all of 2 minutes. It’s glitchy and not very user friendly. The segments aren’t labelled well enough to know what they even are, and it’s just set up weird overall. It also keeps playing the news station even when I turn it off and it says it’s not playing. I haven’t gotten into the actual content, but the app itself could use some serious work.
I hate watching modern news channels; from CNN to Fox and every channel in between. I just want the topics of news world wide. That is news. Modern “Opinionated commentary” hand picked stories is a waste of time and literally keeps us from the news. 1440 does have commercials … just like ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc… show me a news channel that doesn’t have commercials. 1440 is back by Cumulus Media which audio media company delivering content to billions of people world wide ... so this isn’t a small operation by unknowns. Give it a try!
If you heard about it from an ad that stated it was unbiased news, don’t bother. Came from Reddit thought actual news would be cool. Starting listening and from the get go it was just literal yelling about democrats destroying America. The host was reading from a book what was titled democrats destroying America or something to that effect. Stuck around for 20 minutes thinking it was a commentary or something. Nope just this guy thinking he’s saving America from evil libs. 0/10 not worth the time to download and uninstall, app has a pretty terrible format, no selection, nothing is intuitive, and they had to lie just to get my download. Greatly disappointed all around.
I have no idea if the content was worth anything or not. Commercials would not stop playing, even if I exited the app. Tried to navigate to weather and traffic and could never back out of those screens. I had to exit the app, refresh the background, (Apple) and then go back into the app. I never even got to hear one news story, because I was so frustrated with the app’s performance. I prefer to read anyways so it was no issue for me to delete this worthless app.
The ads for this are outright deceiving. It’s not unbiased news. It’s classic right wing radio, complete with My Pillow commercials. What a bald faced lie. It’s so NOT unbiased that even the Apple Store’s algorithm knows it. Type 1440 in the search box and what comes up at the top? Far-right conspiracy theory-touting Epoch Times (see Wikipedia if you’re unfamiliar.) 1440 is only second on the list.
A broadcast started as soon as I opened the App. It was about historical US land surveys. The word survey was repeated so many times my ears rang; the voice was intent on listing geographical features when can be surveyed. News Flash for you 1440, this is not news. It sounds like a stoner failing to teach a preschooler’s geography class.
I downloaded this app in hopes to find a news only with no opinions disguised as real news. As I was exploring the app I clicked on the website page and it gave me all right wing media garbage! So if you’re looking for unbiased news programs this isn’t it. VERY DECEPTIVE!!
I was hopeful this was truly an unbiased app but immediately it showed it’s true colors with Sean Hannity hosting the program playing. Needless to say, I removed the app and now I’ll wait to see what kind of junk gets sent to me. A little honesty would’ve been nice.
Had I known that this app is nothing more than regurgitation from FAKE FAKE FAKE FACEBOOK………I NEVER EVER WOULD’VE DOWNLOADED IT!! Commie Marky trying to slid his crap in a different way!!!! NO THANKS! DELETED!!!!!!!
Poor audio, filled with gimmicks and ads, wouldn’t let me open a local news article without a 15.00/month or 150.00/yr subscription. Don’t wast your time with this one
