That is terrible user experience. It leads to the app itself being nothing more than a list of articles without allowing them to be read. ### 1/5 — Too much of Advertisements *2017-12-16* This app is a crap. You cannot read any news properly due to advertisement pop ups . I had requested udayavani team about this but still the sans problem. Uninstalling it.

But, after that it started crashing. Still kept the apps uninstalled thinking that issue will be fixed. But, it has been almost an year since the problem occurred and no actions being taken. Its really annoying on the other side feeling bad, because the first and only Kannada news apps not meeting the expectation. Request team to fix ASAP so that we can really make use of this app especially when we are outside the country.
