Ratings and reviews

It's so-so.Format & options are great,yet the app has terrible glitches,such as when you forward an article to somebody..they either cant view it in whole or it says that a video is not supported in the specific country. Also constantly with " network failed" when making a comment when network is up,running,strong as can be. Work on making it better please.

ads for games constantly. used to be a great app to learn about current events of many topics. Science, Finance, Society, etc. It is very interactive. I think it is the best news app. It allows for discourse. It allows open discussions. A good flow of communication. Well written articles. I realize they need advertising to survive. The Ads are taking over the app. A full 60 seconds and more. There is no way to get out of them. Other than exiting the app. So after exiting the app 3 times, I give

I like this app very much. I usually don't have any problems with it. I like the fact, that it's interactive, without FB! It also seems to have more respectful people, commenting ( at least most of the time) Easy to navigate, with so many videos. So similar to YT without controlling your comments. I'm not tech savvy either, I find it to be user friendly.
