Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy the app for my daily dose of news. It's just too bad that there are so many notifications categorized as "important news". For example, every day they upload a new podcast, it's an notification under "important news". So it's either turning of all notifications, including breaking news, or swallow the bitter pill and accept the podcast notifications as "important news" notifications.

Decent app for keeping up with the news. Layouts are nice. Major point for improvement: clarify that breaking news includes banalities like a new podcast episode and sports anchors changing jobs so people can choose to keep up with this "breaking" news OR (preferably) fix either the app somehow notifying people for non-breaking news or educate whichever team assigns the 'breaking news' tag to non-breaking news on the definition of breaking news.

Videos in the app are not playing, this has been te case for weeks or longer. They also play in full screen automatically which makes the experience extremely clunky. At this point just use the Autoplay feature like Facebook or Instagram. I don't understand, does nobody test the releases? Is the budget finished?
