Ads are so bad, let me start by saying I love opera, use the browser on PC for years. Saw this app yesterday, installed and love the look. However, everything you click on, gives you a partial read of the article, AS SOON as you click to see the remainder, an ad comes on. I have to say, this is so infuriating that I lasted only 1 day of use. Going back to Google news.

It is an excellent app. It does a great job of presenting national and local news topics. However, there are two issues. 1 .There are endless and agressive Tik Tok ads. 2. I can see that i have a few messages. However when i click messages, it always says "empty".
