Ratings and reviews

While the app itself is a bit clunky, the larger issue is the push notifications that you cannot opt out of. Initially, I opted out of sports because I was only wanting notifications about news and weather but I quickly noticed that half the notifications I was still getting concerned college football. I turned off all notifications and yet I've had three push notifications in the past hour. I've also noticed battery drain, which I can only assume is due to the constant push notifications. I'm going to manually remove notification permissions from my phone's settings.

I use this app daily as it provides succinct stories so I can keep up with the news, despite my busy work schedule. My number one issue with it is the obvious lack of editing. There are typically numerous grammatical errors in the articles, and sometimes words are left out altogether, leaving the reader to fill in the blanks based on the context of the sentence. Much more attention should be given in this area.

Way too many unnecessary alerts. If they would tone down all the alerts it would good. They send the same alerts with different headings at least 2-3 times a day. Sometimes there is no new developments but they act like it is so you can open the app. I think they forget people are either working or driving and sometimes this is a huge distraction. If they could cut back on this I would say great app otherwise.
