Ratings and reviews

New layout is nice but the app is really slow to respond. A number of times when you click on an article you have to wait a long time before the article appears and many times you just have a blank screen and have to close the app and start over.

GN was one of the apps on the phone I have used almost everyday for the last 4 years and one which was always on my home screen. Very disappointed with the new look. Too many ads and the layout is horrible. I would recommend keeping the interface clean and simple. I can understand them try to run ads to generate revenue but when it's in your face all the time, it will drive readers away. Until they rectify this, I have decided to uninstall and try some other apps or portal.

Your news notifications within the app are annoying. It was not like this before. When I'm reading an article and a notification about another article comes up, I only have the option to click OK which redirects the page to that article, and not the one I'm reading. Please have that feature removed. It's very distracting and useless.
