Do not turn the notifications on or you will be bored to death 😠

UNINSTALLED due to FULL screen ads poping up arbitrarily with full volume even when phone is set to silent. DISGRACEFUL. I understand free apps contain ads, and unintrusive ones are torelable but this is just too much. The app is actually not too bad otherwise.

Great app, best I have had

5 ★, on 2016-10-31
It needs one improvement, clicking the back button when finished with browsing news quits the app rather than take you to the news sources

1 ★, on 2018-09-08
Installed to find absolutely nothing happened, blank screen and nothing else, waste of time
