Ratings and reviews

Trash. Clicking on a story only leads to an ad. After 3 or 4 tries you may get to actually read the story, maybe not. Frustrating and a waste of time. Uninstalled. Update: Re-installed on 2/2/22, uninstalling now 5 minutes later. App is even worse, same issues as before but now inundated with ads.

Ok until latest update will not install. Probably best since latest update includes a bunch of new permissions. Seems pretty intrusive. May just remove the whole app, not sure yet. Update: Well, finally got the update to install and turned off all permissions. Turns out the update is a totally new app. Seems very cluttered, not that customizable and actually long winded.

App looked pretty bad before but at least the UI was reasonably clean, even if it looked like a geocities website from the 90's, but the information was easy to navigate ( just swiping to get to different categories), now it's a dumpster fire and the weather section is hot garbage. I might look for the old apk and see if it'll still work but this version is just unusable for me now.
