Overall I like this app and the news it curates. However, time and again, I scroll through the list of articles, and something happens in the background to change out the listed stories (not the same as a deliverate reload by hitting the reload button or pulling down from the top of the list). Sometimes I get a glimpse of a story I want to read right before it gets replaced before my eyes! It is infuriating. The list of articles should not change until/unless I explicitly command a refresh.

Trying to read the articles in this app can be challenging. They have advertisements and stuff all over the place. There is a strip across the bottom and if you're scrolling up and you happen to touch that it is going to flip to another article. The content of the articles are very good but trying to get that information with all the bloat/advertising you have in there makes it very frustrating.

News feed works fine. You can customize it to show areas of interest. It has the frustrating habit of sending a push notification with a really interesting headline, but when you open the alert, that news story is not shown. Not even if you scroll all the way down. Half the time it won't even bring up the missing story if you search for the exact title from the push notification. That gets old fast. Also, too many ads mixed in with real news. At least they are now marked as ads.
