User reviews
same stories run for weeks. no daily updates. Despicable ads! I wouldn't give it 1 star! 12/14/2022 now. 2 years and reviews ignored. Isn't it time to fix these issues? Well. Now 7 months later. Still no news updates - oh! Wait! Now all the recent news is for subscribers only! Really? I'm deleting this app. Not worth space on my phone.
