Ratings and reviews

When passing from country's news to international news, some tabs remain activated (without any content) and cannot be removed since are not present in the International topic list. My suggestion is to allow the removal of topic directly from the selected ones (where you currently can only change position)

I love this app, however I have noticed a massive increase in dodgy pop-ups which take over the whole page. The only way to get out of it is to either click back (meaning you lose what you were reading because even if you click back into the article, the pop up comes back) or to kill the app and start again. This hasn't been the first time something like this has happened.

The developer has asked for more detailed feedback. The app has accessibility issues, the layout displays text over images, making it difficult to read for anyone partially sighted, dyslexic, etc. The images also sometimes have text in them making it impossible to read the titles, overlayed text on text. I hope this clarifies my issues with the UI.
