The previous incarnation of the app included irritating advertisements, but they were easy to clear to access the stories. This version is clunky and hard to navigate. It is slow to load, and slow to respond to keyboard commands. When you open the app, instead of loading the breaking news, it opens to a landing page with the livestream as the first "box". I tried turning off all notifications except Breaking News, and I am still receiving Trending stories in notifications.
