Ratings and reviews

Latest update added a "feature" when watching stories so that a mini box of what you are looking at pops up under your finger if you press and hold to pause the story. Not sure what the purpose of this is, but it is extremely annoying. If I have a story paused so I can read the text, this pop up now blocks everything so I can't read the story. This really needs to be eliminated.

As with other meta apps it's increasingly difficult to see content from friends and ordinary people rather than businesses. In addition, I wish they would allow you to set video content not to play by default. The constant motion makes me queasy, and I'm mainly there for the photos anyway. I find video much less engaging, and mostly pretty banal, and when I'm bombarded with it, I have to quit the app. Also need to be able to mute the sound on stories by default.

The core of the app works fine. Uploading pictures and what not is as out what you'd expect. Messages, notes etc. are all good too. The biggest issue is when the app decides you can't like a real or view any of the comments. I have no idea why this happens, I've tried restarting the app, restarting my phone, updating the app and none of it works.
