no option to disable specific notifications, you get all of them or none. I dont care about sports in the slightest, and there is no option to remove notifications for that specific category. opening the app via notification is also a huge gamble, sometimes it takes me to the article, sometimes it just sits on a white screen, sometimes it takes me to an article completely unrelated to the notification I clicked.

I felt I was being informed of everything happening globally that could effect my family, some in the service and myself . It did not take me long to realize....received notifications of SUBSCRIBERS ONLY!...releases I need to know relevant to the service members of my family and me... open APP.....news omitted, because I can't pay for it....Had to Google from notification words to discover info from other sites. NBC slogan.... "Reporting for America".. No it is not.

😂 Update! Still Trash but Now With Subscription! Your whole app is something that resembles the click bait adds after your "articles" end. Seriously you need to add Dark Mode! Hopefully you got rid of the podcast annoying pop-up.
