User reviews

There needs to be an option to automatically open news articles using a browser instead of the app. Incredibly irritating to have to do it manually every time. Not sure what advantage they gain by forcing to open in the app first. The sources of articles I get on a consistent basis that I've marked over and over to see fewer of tells me they force paid advertisements in front of my face. Even when sources are blocked, I still see them on occasion.

Update: finally uninstalled...this app is nothing more than an ad-spamming barrage of mostly useless click bait articles from questionable sources. Can't even read half of stories due to incessant pop-ups. Trash. Constant ads, weird algorithm for predicting stories I'm actually interested in reading, at least 20% of pages don't load correctly. Used to be better.

I like the ability to scroll the widget for the latest world, national, and local news. I like the ability to access one news item from multiple sources within the application. SUGGESTION: The ability to remove pictures on widgets would allow for more of the headlines to be visible on the widget. Therefore, those with poor vision can view more of the headline with font size and zoom features maximized.
