Ratings and reviews

This app used to be good, but they increased the frequency of the full page ad's in the last while, and made them appear about 2 seconds after opening the app as you try to scroll. Meaning you click on some terrible link, then the app opens its internal terrible browser and sends you off. I understand ad's are needed but this is grating and for the first time in years I've uninstalled the app. Not worth it anymore.

adverts cover content even when you click into them so the stories are unreadable. no point in having the app if I can't read news stories

The UI is very intuitive, and the '5 at 5' and other rounds ups are very useful of you're short of time, but sometimes the focus of their articles is a-miss, e.g. Taylor Swift breaking up with her boyfriend - that actually was noteworthy news according to the Journal. I'd love an option to deselect certain news sections eg soccer Update: more than 4yrs on and they still haven't updated this! I've brought the rating down from 4/5 to 3/5 as a result. I could have done this myself by this stage.
