Ads make app unusable
This is the first time I’ve felt compelled to review an app. I’ve been reading The Race weekly to daily for three years, primarily using the app since it came out. I love The Race, and I think their content is fantastic.
That said, the new advertising system they’ve added in the last week or so makes the app absolutely infuriating to use. You cannot go 30 seconds reading an article before being redirected to a full page advertisement. You also lose your place in the article when this happens. I don’t mind ads for a free product, but there’s a way to incorporate advertisements that doesn’t completely ruin the user experience. It’s just poor UX design.
From now on, I’m just going to read The Race on browser. It’s a bummer, the app was great and very convenient before it was ruined by poorly implemented ads.annoying pop ups
deleted the day i downloaded this. they have annoying pop up ads on all their stories. some are just links to their own content. makes no sense. would be 5 stars if they didnt do thisArticles good, App crap
No landscape on iPad, app keeps jumping to a next page.
