Hunting all over for sky grid on my iPad ,,

Think u all are smart huh? I have tons of apps on my iPad , Going threw them looking for sky grid ! I hate how we didnt know! Ill keep this for now, I really like the old version!! Shame on you sky grid !.

Haters are gonna Hate!

Seems there are a lot of users that are hating on the rebrand??? I personally love the new UI! Algo is my go to app for following everything Pokemon!!!

How to release a bad update to a great app

1. Rename application to something random that does not help potential or current users identify with the app and its use. 2. Replace cool logo with basic font on plain background. 3. Remove easy to see color references for new articles with a white outlined bell which disappears when used on many images.

New UI is hideous - Please give me the old one back

I had been a SkyGrid user for a long time and what I loved about it was the UI: easy to see all the stories, easy to access. All there all at once, crisp and attractive. Oh crap. Wrecked it again. Cant you leave the interface alone? Is there something wrong with your programmers that they cant tell when they have a good interface? Ok. Thats pretty much it for me. I really had it tuned for what I was interested in and some general news. Get rid of the trash banner. Bring back the general news page. Fire your designers. AND BRING BACK MY GRID.

It is Back and Oh So Nice!

Thank You! I have been waiting so long for the return of my favorite news app! This is wonderful and best of all, it opens! For over a year, I had been unable to get into Skygrid, as it would crash before it even opened! I periodically I would try, to no avail! I just happened to attempt it last night and to my delight there it was! Its beautiful and all my favorite news updates are there! This is a great surprise!

Best News Feed App!!

Ive been using Algo (Formally Skygrid) for over five years. Its the only news app that I can type in any topic and follow it with the most up to date info available. Its very useful for movies, video games and tech that you want to stay current with. Wish there were ten stars to rate it!!

Following a subject

Great, especially for tracking specific subjects.

LOVE

Best way to stay up to date on news

Articles will not load since the upgrade

Did the upgrade now can not open any of the articles. Tried removing the app and reinstalling it. Still having the same problem. It was a grt app.

Dont waste your time

Cant delete old version, cant load new version. At least the old skygrid worked. This, nothing.

Articles are not refreshing

Since the last update, articles are no longer refreshing. Please fix

Update...dud!!

Cant open any articles...help!

Algo Wont Go

After installing this on my iPhone 5s (8.1), the app freezes immediately when launched. Totally useless. Also cant even contact the developers to let them know. There are better apps out there.

Landfill

Formerly Skygrid, it simply cannot compete as a go-to news aggregator. If you have Flipboard you dont want to waste your time with this piece of internet junk.

Like redundancy of the usual (canned, restricted range) sources? This is for you.

Obsolete in every way. Feedly blows this app out of the water on that score. Very poor on sources in English outside the US (there are many which this app excludes) and non-corporate news sources. Hear the charge that Big Media are an "echo chamber"? This app proves it. Also, for example, with Vietnam as a topic being followed, youll get exclusively stories on Vietnam vets.

Awesome

The only news app I use. Very efficient and effective.

Headlines dont take you to the story

What is it with this app? I get pop-up notices on my screen but when I click on the notice to see the news item it simply takes me to Algos main screen. Most of the time I cant even find that headliner and end up going to another news app, like the BBC or the NYT. Algo only works if youre bored and just clicking around for whatever news is out there.

Thank you

Excited to see the rest, thank you for bringing back the old functionality.

Latest update MUCH better!

The original SkyGrid had a lot of issues, and this new version, now called, Algo, seems better and more stable with this latest release! The app no longer freezes!!, however Ive recently noticed that some results are short movie clips. This slows down the viewing process, considerably and is very distracting. Very noticeable on older devices! Please give the user a means of disabling autoplay within Algos configuration screen! iPad 2, v9.2.1.

Thank You!

It took way longer than we thought but the latest reviews show we now on the right track... Thank You for your patience - this hasnt been a walk in the park...
