Sometimes the ads are so numerous the site jumps around while you are trying to scroll and read the entire story.

Provides links with paywalls

Why post a tidbit of a story, then provide a link to the full story, which is hidden behind a paywall? Are you lazy or uninformed? Your weather app went down the toilet, and so is your news app!

Stale News

It would be nice to have the date/time of the news stories on the home page. I can’t tell if something new happened or I’d if it’s the same exact story from weeks or months ago. You’re ruining this app just like you did to your weather app! Such a disappointment in the total downhill trajectory
