I'd go back to the old version if I could! If the quiz question is too long nzme's own add blocks some of the answer choices. The help and contact us options on the menu bring up "page not found". The app just feels like it was an intermediate school project.

The most recent app update would have to be the worst ever. You pay for a premium subscription and now get bombarded by even more ads. You can no longer swipe between articles so has become ridiculously painful to scan through the news. Was called by a person asking to extend my subscription a week ago and I told them I'd rather cancel my current with the most recent update and she hung up on me 🤣 How to alienate a customer base in a single app update

used to be able to click on article from notification. Now if you click on notification, it takes you to whatever article you last read and it can be really hard to find the one you actually want. The new version is a massive downgrade.
