Ratings and reviews

Like it but Reuters TV come on. I will uninstall from my Pixel 8 to see if the stops the news from coming on. I have no news channels added or selected to play. This comes on around 6:30 AM every morning. I don't even have an alarm set for that time. If this auto play still comes on after uninstall I might install back again. But for now it will not reinstall.

When I turn on airplane mode, this app will occasionally lock my phone in a half-way airplane mode that such that it can't be turned off from the quick access menu at the top of the screen. This forces me to go into the network settings to disable airplane mode there instead. Once I go into app info > storage > clear data, normal airplane mode operation from the quick menu at the top of the screen is restored. Please fix this.

This is taking up way too much space. More than the Discord, Reddit, and YouTube apps COMBINED. Almost a gigabyte, actually. And I can't clear any of it without also deleting important data, like all account info on multiple apps. Instead of only one option, add more options to specifically clear certain categories of data. And also, please compress or remove the bloat data.
