Garbage

Literally can’t stream any video on the phone. Shows zero video even though it says live. In the off chance it starts the video it’s loaded with online only ads and stops working within a minute or 2 with a playback error. Avoid it.

Ads lol

More screen space dedicated to ads than content.

No thanks.

Weird, Scammy, creepy advertisement from “sponsored” content all the time.

This app has scam advertisements, weird, creepy pictures from “sponsored” content there’s NEVER “normal” advertising content all the time. It’s enough to make people choose different news app.

Spam App

Basically the news and info is hidden under layers and layers of pop up ads and odd click bait. It’s like telling your parents to stay away from a certain clickbait website. That’s this app. It’s pretty bad. Terrible in fact.
