There are too many articles staying on the sight for weeks. An example would be the “Seven reasons the want the Mazda cx30”. There are numerous other articles that stay to long. Ads are not clearly marked as ADs. Disappointed could so easily have been a great site for news.

I loved this app, but lately it fails more often than it works by at least a factor of five. Has it been shut down? Do they just not care about server maintenance? It’s unclear but at the moment it’s just a way to waste time (tapping Retry).

Version 3.2.8
The widget does not display any articles. It just always shows the message, “Unable to Load”.
When “Unable to Load” is pressed, the article list flashes on the screen for a nanosecond and then is gone, replaced by the message, “Unable to Load”.
It has been like this for months now, through multiple app updates.
I am using an iPad Pro 9.7” running iOS 11.4.1.

Where are some personal features??

Would be nice to be able to save these articles natively within the news app instead of sending them outside to other apps. So a saved or favourited option would benefit the functionality of this app. Surprised this was overlooked. Other things like this will make the app much more fun and rewarding to use

Version 3.2.6
This app was a favourite of mine for current news. However, over the past few weeks I have noticed that I am getting targeted ads specifically geared to my location.
My location services for this app are set up so that it is not to be tracked.
There does not appear to be any way to prevent this as the app itself does not seem to give you that capability (if there is the ability to prevent this in the app Settings it is clearly not very obvious).
I can accept country wide advertising however I do not want advertising that is specific to the city I live in.

Click-bate boring repetitive ads and too much celeb coverage

I had this app for about two weeks before deleting it.
The ads are distasteful, boring, repetitive.
The “health” and “lifestyle” sections are hardly that. They should be combined and called the celeb/Royals section.
I really don’t think a lot of updates go on here the news doesn’t seem to change enough given the world today.

Dans cette version, développée à l’évidence pour favoriser le contenu publicitaire, on a complètement occulté le volet culturel. Cet app n’a plus rien à voir avec un média d’information.
