Ratings and reviews

Need to work on commercial volume regulation. Originally was excited to integrate this app into my morning/evening routines, however likely will be deleting and looking for a different app. For anyone looking to have the news on in the background as you multitask to get ready, you don't want to have to keep going back and forth to lower the volume when the NOTICABLY louder commercials come on, and then have to run back to turn the volume up when the news is back. Volume regulations are ignored.

Most of the stories I see are 1-2 minute videos. I usually prefer a written story anyway, but the mandatory 15/30 second, no skippable ad, really doesn't make it feel worth it. On top of that, when a notification is more than an hour old, tapping on it will open the app but NOT take me to the story. I usually can't find the story I'm looking for based on the notification.

Volume is extremely low. Tried on several devices but can't hear playback without headphones and I'm not hard of hearing. (Edit) The closed captions are comically tiny. I wish I could add a screenshot so you can see it. Too many ads. My VPN blocked almost 1000 tracking attempts by this app and its partners just in the time it took to type the review by at least 6 completely irrelevant companies: Double verify Comscore Google Amazon Taboola Integral Ad Science
