Ratings and reviews

Update 1/21/24. I uninstalled the app. I got tired of being fed 'related' items, especially rehashing old, sometimes very old, events. Also, there's not enough conversation about positive events. Previously: I prefer the prior version of the app over the new format. Also, for a long time I have not liked any videos automatically playing, whether news items or advertising. Give us a choice. Finally, showing videos of content which is unrelated to the news item is bothersome. Thanks.

The weather video doesn't load properly after the ad. Don't you have enough ads on the site for you to not have to ruin the weather video? I keep having to see the same ad several times in order for the video to finally load...sometimes. and having to watch an ad (usually the same one lasting 30s for each and every story is frustrating. you're tipping the scale on benefits vs burden in the wrong direction. this is just as much an app for ads as it is for useful content.

I like the fact that notifications take you directly to the related story instead of the front page over and over. Menu is useful, and content is great. Updated 12/7/2020: This used to be a great app. However, now I can no longer access stories directly from a notification; now it hangs with a blank page. In addition, the app will not close using the Close All button. It's open all of the time, even after a forced stop. What happened? PLEASE fix this!
