Pretty bad user experience overall. Since it's an app, not a website, I can't use ad blockers, so 90% of the sites shown are basically unreadable, covered in ads and videos and popups. And even though I constantly block sources and curate interests, I regularly get stuff I don't care about at all in my feed, like sports. There are always articles from 3-4 days ago shown, when I want to see the most recent headlines. They added an AI "Listen" button to read the news to you that you can't remove.

It's ok but not great, it's my go to for the daily headlines since I deleted my FB account. However, I find that the stories do not update or change for days or even still be shown for up to a week. My local feed has stories from over a month ago. Minimal daily changes and updates no matter how many times I clear the cache, refresh the feed page. News should not be behind a pay-wall and that's my thought on that.

This app has gotten more frustrating to use. First, they don't offer any kind of protection against aggressive ads. It's extremely common for the entire page to be covered with ads, forcing me to open the article in a different browser, just to read it. And the app keeps only half loading pages. I'll be half way through reading an article, when the words stop and it's just a white page. Very disappointing.
