Reviews: What People Think About OptOut News

Rating: 4/5
The app and stories are great. One complaint I have is with the app. I get notifications on different stories, but when I click on the notification I’m sent to the Home Screen of the app instead of the specific story. This kind of kills interest because a lot of times, a specific story piques my interest, but then I don’t want to scroll through to search for that story. Instead. Just have the notification linked to the story it notified me of.

I was about to sign up as interested in the journalistic concept as in checking out the news aggregator functionality. I read a few opening paragraphs of the T&C before I scrolled quickly to the privacy policy. And this is what I saw:
Pixel tags and other similar technologies.
Pixel tags. Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used to, among other things, track the actions of users of the Services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about usage of the Services and response rates.
I’m fine with the app owners tracking detailed app activity. But Yikes! using pixel tags to track activity outside the app? Yeah… no. Delete.

This is my favorite news app! I love that I can follow local news, national news and the local paper from my home town. I also love that I can watch videos or podcasts while scrolling other articles.
