Thumbs down.

The new and improved app isn’t improved at all! I have to wonder if its redesign was done by the disastrous BOM team. It’s messy, disjointed and hard to follow. The ‘articles’ are full of ads, to the point of being spam! You can read an article and every paragraph the ad is repeated. The content has the appearance of trashy news, rather than a trustworthy news source. The previous format was much more user friendly. I’ve deleted the app now and gone with another news provider.
