Too many pop-up ads, and many with audio as well! The app seems quite good, similar to Google News, but it is nearly unusable with so many pop-up ads. If you peek the news at work, everyone will now within a minute with the blast of audio from the ad. They don't even give you the option to pay to disable ads, you are just expected to eat them constantly while trying to read the news. A SOLID PASS!

I can't post any comments any more 😭 I keep getting 'we need your consent' appearing and I can't find a way to make it go away. I think there needs to be a way to remove/minimize the bottom bar so I can press 'accept cookies'. Apart from this I have been using this news app a lot, but recently many articles are not showing, just the headline and it's getting quite frustrating. Update: haven't seen this issue for a while now, and as it's one of my most used apps, should really up the stars !

This app is great for news, like the layout and news/information it provides, so why one star? Simple, the notifications!! So annoying, doesn't matter what setting I have the notifications set to, I get bombarded with news notifications. Just way too many. I've set it to standard, to low and I've even turn off notifications in the app and still get them!! Please sort it
