Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app for around 4-5 years without a problem, but now, after the last update the (view more) tab no longer works, it's there but don't work, also when trying to read an article it jumps up and down you can't keep your eyes on it, the text is much larger and can't zoom in to make it smaller, the whole thing just really frustrating, I gave it a one star because you have to so you can leave a review

App was great for a while, now it takes forever to load. If it does load, the stories are there but the pics aren't. Also constant duplicate stories, some that stay on the board for weeks. Not sure what has happened over the past few months but this app is going in the wrong direction. I am editing the review to add that while reading a story the words will just disappear after a few seconds of reading. The page refreshes but the words don't come back. Nothing has changed since the first review

The app has been updated with a whole new look. I hate it. It's more reliable to open the story that the notification shows but he way the ads display is maddening! You have the option of viewing the story or reading it. If you choose to read, as you scroll down, the video keeps opening over the text. It should stay closed once you close it. I've had to re-close up to 8 times. Most of the time it's the news story but it's preceded by an ad. The app is easy to use but I hate the way it works now.
