Ratings and reviews

I've had this app years ago/ couple of phones ago and recently downloaded it again on this new phone. Over at least 3 years, and this app still doesn't take you to the notification you click on. I at least get alerts more often than before. But what's the point of these notifications if the link doesn't even take you to the story you're notified about.

The app is great to have, but I'd like it to be able to cast to a TV via chromecast, firestick, etc. or other means from your phone. Or at least be able to download the app from a smart TV app store. The screen mirror function from a samsung phone doesn't display properly and your phone can't be freed up when doing it. 5 stars from me when this improves.

Updated app slow to load. Previous app loaded quicker, and without ad issues. Updated app does not allow you to view alerts (in former app under the 🔔), as the 🔔 is no longer a feature. When receiving a push alert/notification on phone, if you click the alert/notice with hopes to jump to the related article, it leads to an unrelated page. When reading article, screen often whites out completely. Have to close/restart app a lot. Seems way worse than prior app. Uninstalled.
