Clunky app. Freezes on adds and I can't scroll past. Takes forever to open. Don't bother with it.

Not a real news site, just ad-filled poorly written and heavily biased articles with click-bait titles.
by Michael Bristow, 2024-11-07

Garbage. You cannnot scroll through some images. So when there are a lot of them, you cannot scroll past them to read the rest. Who tests this? Seriously? And now, you click on an article and it takes you to another article. Garbage. Just garbage
