Ratings and reviews

Terrible, your old app was very good this one is terrible. Skips from one video to the other before the one you're looking at is finished. Cannot successfully change to big screen it continues to go back and forth or once you get it on a bigger screen you can't see all of the screen it's too big . I'm using my Pixel 3 XL so it could be the phone that it doesn't do that on YouTube

The latest big update to this app a few months ago completely ruined it. The new format looks terrible. The ads on the page are presented in the list and look identical to the icons for actual news articles, which is cheesy and feels deceptive. Most of the time, I can't view an article for more than a few seconds without it crashing to just a white screen. Articles that do come up have ads with audio. Trying to silence them takes you to a page that looks like it'll give your phone a virus.

Old app was quick, only issue was recycling old news. Now in the last week or so it's all new!! And it's slow, except for the Bojangles ad right at the beginning. Then it's slow to load, then you have to select another window. This screen says loading, and never does. Even the odd time you do see what you want, you're tired of waiting. Return to 1994, with this worthless thing; when they had a good one already.
