Ads I didn’t tap

In-app ads are fine. Auto opening a browser isn’t. What were you thinking?

I love Sky News. It’s up to the minute and they have such great interviews.
My favorite is Professor Michael Clarke

Too many alerts!!!

What is a great app is simply spoiled by the number of bloody notifications for not news! Simpler sending adverts to their own articles. Yesterday I counted at least 13. I know there is a lot going on in the world but they were not all breaking news. 1. Listen to our podcast. 2. Read Sam Coates article etc. etc. stop interrupting me for no reason. I do want to hear the news but I don’t want to bullied into reading other articles I could find by searching the app.

Way too may videos

I would like the opportunity to read news instead of only video. It’s not always convenient to watch or listen to news items. Is it too much to ask. Back to BBC for news, use Sky as a back up now. Also layout is confusing. Click link to read item, only to be presented with a list of news items where l have to search again. Ridiculous.
