App PopUps make News a chore

I’m trying to read articles but the adds and videos are difficult to scroll past without being redirected.

Can this be due to a large font setting on my phone? Is there a way to adjust the adds so scrolling past them is always an option on either the left or the right side of the screen?

Not worth the money

I pay monthly and can rarely see the articles. Can’t get a hold of anyone at their office to cancel. Poor poor service

Won’t show latest news

The news is still from March 1st and it won’t update! Please update your app!

No news

This app still doesn’t refresh. 7 day old ‘news’ is no longer ‘new’.

This app is useless.
