Ratings and reviews

The app itself is a great way to find personalized news, but the built-in browser ruins the app. If you click on an ad and you want to go back to the article you're reading, it either sends you the top of the article or to the app's homepage. By using the AMP browser, a lot of website functionality stops working. I do wish that it had a more readily available browsing history. Sometimes, the feed refreshes whilst I'm still reading. At this point, all I use the app for is to open in browser.

I finally uninstalled it after about a decade of daily use. I'm just fet up with the stupid stories it puts right in your face every day. The app is cluttered with ads once you try to read an article. The curated "for you" section is laughably bad and doesn't show anything that's related to you. I've been using it over 10 years and it still can't get it right. Uninstall this app and get your news from anything else on the app store, it will be a thousand time better and less filled with ads

It's actually quite sad how bad this app is compared to the original. The latest headlines tab is showing news from 3 days ago. The "For you" page had nothing for me, and it's just a cluttered mess. I can't customize the other tabs, and remove ones I don't want. I follow the Cubs, and it's showing Cubs news from LAST MONTH AND OLDER. It's time to find an alternative.
