Trying to read the articles in this app can be challenging. They have advertisements and stuff all over the place. There is a strip across the bottom and if you're scrolling up and you happen to touch that it is going to flip to another article. The content of the articles are very good but trying to get that information with all the bloat/advertising you have in there makes it very frustrating.

Overall I like this app and the news it curates. However, time and again, I scroll through the list of articles, and something happens in the background to change out the listed stories (not the same as a deliverate reload by hitting the reload button or pulling down from the top of the list). Sometimes I get a glimpse of a story I want to read right before it gets replaced before my eyes! It is infuriating. The list of articles should not change until/unless I explicitly command a refresh.

I've used this app for as long as I've had my phone. Just recently the app hasnt been displaying the articles i click on, all i can see is the heading, not the rest of the articles. Ive tried reinstalling the app but nothing changed. I really enjoy this app because it doesnt throw adds at you every 2 seconds so i hope it gets fixed soon.

News feed works fine. You can customize it to show areas of interest. It has the frustrating habit of sending a push notification with a really interesting headline, but when you open the alert, that news story is not shown. Not even if you scroll all the way down. Half the time it won't even bring up the missing story if you search for the exact title from the push notification. That gets old fast. Also, too many ads mixed in with real news. At least they are now marked as ads.

Not a very good news app 1. Can't create custom sections 2. Lots of ads made to look like news articles and I find that deceptive. They should be different font and design. 3. Should be option to display condensed thumbnail for each story, pictures are too big and that leads to a LOT of unnecessary scrolling. 4. No dark mode 5. NO WIDGET. that's a big strike. 6. Sometimes articles are way too short. Overall I'm disappointed

This is a pretty great app. The knock I have is the main board sometimes contains clickbait/sensationistic article thumbnails. But the other content is presented fine, and is usually pretty relevant to the type of news I want to see. There are some ads, but they aren't too distracting/disruptive. Keep up the good work and please keep this app from becoming bogged down with stuff I dont want to see. Great Job!
