Garbage that asks for money every 2 seconds.

Just deleted this app after years of using it. It’s now basically just a phishing scam to take your money at every click.

A.I. slop makes ads disgusting

If nbc news has to run ads in the app in order to keep it free, at least ban A.I. graphics in those ads. There is ZERO reason allowing advertisers to use (more times than not) disgusting A.I. - produced imagery. Especially when it interferes with the user experience. I hardly use this app anymore because of it.
