Ratings and reviews

I liked the original format the best! Easier to find the information I wanted to read first and I liked the newspaper format - big headlines, larger type and black background. Yours is no longer different from any of the other news companies' formats. I would like the option of choosing the former one which I really preferred as I tended to read it daily. Now I don't as the presentation is too busy and distracting.

The newly updated and re-designed app stalls and closes repeatedly. Some days, it is impossible to read because of this. How long does it take to fix a known problem that has been reported to you at least three times since the app redesign? Today was another app update. It is now worse than before. It stalls and closes after two seconds on certain pages and, when reopened, does it again repeatedly. Impossible to read the paper this way!

Love the app it really does work great. One thing though, when there are videos or live streams I would love the ability to be able to Chromecast those to a tv sometimes. Update, I'm now seeing banner ads on the bottom of the screen when reading articles. It's honestly distracting and makes it feel like I'm reading yahoo news or something, I might cancel over it.
