Weather needs updating

The last weather story was 3 months ago please update

Where is the Apple TV app??

It’s 2024. There’s no way we don’t have this on tv streaming apps lol

Too many ads!

It’s a good app for Bako news, but there is way too many ads. Click on any link and there’s an ad. I understand you gotta make money from advertising, it’s overwhelming and hinders your purpose.

Deleted

Although I like using the website for news, I found the app annoying and difficult to use due to the ads blocking the entire screen and not having a close option.

Forced ads

More often than not these days tapping on an article will trigger an ad to open in a separate browser window. Huge security concern and just a big of an annoyance when you are just trying to read an article. The app is also build like a potato and runs like garbage.
