Ads with malicious links

This app just keeps getting worse. Can’t read a story before seeing an ad. But now there are ads with malicious links. They will never have a story worth losing your phone or your info.

Needs To Be Completely Redone

Page layout is very dull. Needs to look more like WLEX web page. The old layout was much better.

Terrible update

The new update has ruined my former favorite news app. It is slow to load, cluttered with ads, and difficult to navigate. Looks like I will be getting news elsewhere.

Stop Ads/Videos with audio

Even with my phone on silent mode the ads/videos play at max volume and there’s no way to change the autoplay settings.
