Everytime I open app and read aticle temu ads pop up. I've never installed temu. Tried a lot of different steps to resolve no solution.

After every article I'm finished reading, when I return to the main page it resets to the top of the feed. Making me scroll down to where I left off. Would be nice to return to where I left off.

Adequate digital news app. The basic interface works well. The e-newspaper is buggy. It frequently reloads the article previously read when one clicks on another article, and freezes on occasion. Articles are often formatted oddly. None of these problems were present with the stand alone e-newspaper app.
