I do like this app, but now, when you click to read,there is a great big ad in the way & a tiny bit at the top to get to the article you want to read. This is so annoying. You expect ads in games as that is how they make money, but when it's a news article it becomes infuriating. No more upday for me, I'm afraid. I will look for something else that doesn't force ads on me.

I have never used this app because I never asked for this app. Just one day it was starting to want to be updated and I can't find out any way to uninstall it. Don't these companies like Samsung see the frustration people have with bloatware?! You want to do something good for your customers? Let them be able to change the battery in their phones and use an SD card for all the apps that they want to. I guess that would be too easy since we used to be able to do that.

Since installing the new upday+, I have been receiving notifications prompting me to update to upday+. Regrettably, there appears to be no method to uninstall it. Therefore, I have disabled the notifications and the application itself. However, it remains impossible to uninstall the application entirely, as only the updates can be uninstalled, not the app itself.
