Description
Let AI take the difficulty out of reading modern news.
Modern news is a hassle. You're bombarded with intrusive ads, popups asking you to subscribe to a membership, and biased articles trying to sway you one way or the other.
LUCIE News uses AI to summarize lengthy articles into 2-3 concise, unbiased paragraphs. No more endless scrolling, just brief articles tailored to your best interests!
You can go deeper on articles you're interested in by asking AI direct questions, as if you were talking to the author themself. Just type a message and hit send, and AI will respond answering your burning questions!
LUCIE News covers all major news sections as well as subtopics for everything you enjoy, including cars, celebrities, investing, politics, real estate, and over a dozen more!

Ratings and Reviews
Best way to get the news
Other news apps have too many ads and are too hard to read. Lucie News makes reading the news so much easier and faster.
AI news is so much better!
It really takes the clutter out of news. I only use LUCIE for my news.
Great Potential, But Dismal Performance
I was really excited to try out LUCIE, an app that promised to make a positive impact on my daily life through AI-driven news and summaries, plus AI chat with an article. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm was short-lived. Despite its promising concept, the app's performance issues have left me frustrated and disappointed.
Initially, I was impressed with the app's design and features. However, when I tried to launch it multiple times, I was met with excruciatingly slow load times. It was like watching paint dry. To make matters worse, some summaries would never load, even after relaunching the app. This was not only frustrating but also made the app nearly unusable.
I want to support innovative apps like LUCIE, and I'm willing to subscribe to help them improve. However, in its current state, I'm hesitant to commit to a subscription. The app's performance issues need to be addressed before I can fully utilize its features and reap the benefits.
I hope the developers take my feedback constructively and work on optimizing the app's performance. LUCIE has potential, but it needs to iron out its technical issues to provide a seamless user experience. Until then, I'll be holding off on my subscription.
Pros: Promising concept, interesting features
Cons: Slow load times, summaries often fail to load, frustrating user experience
Recommendation: Address the performance issues, and this app could be a game-changer. Until then, I'd recommend waiting until the wrinkles are all ironed out.
