Ratings and reviews

Trying to read the articles in this app can be challenging. They have advertisements and stuff all over the place. There is a strip across the bottom and if you're scrolling up and you happen to touch that it is going to flip to another article. The content of the articles are very good but trying to get that information with all the bloat/advertising you have in there makes it very frustrating.

App won't let me deselect topics I have no interest in. Sends alerts on topics I have deselected in the "alerts" section. In order to read what interests me, I have to wade through a massive amount of uninteresting dreck. I'm going to uninstall this app and look elsewhere.

Decent news source. Still tends to feed you the stories it thinks you want to see. But it is customizable, and does feed some respectable news. But you still have to skip over some tabloid like news articles. I like Yahoo News a little better than Google News tho.
