-Tips for Use-
■ How to Read News from Your Own Country/Region■
By default, the region setting of your "News" tab is taken from the language and region settings of your device. For example, if your device’s language is set to “English (United States),” then news from the U.S. will be displayed. If you are unable to read news from the region you are staying in, you can use the method below to change the region setting.
* Please note this resets the app to its initial state, deleting all feeds and bookmarks which have been registered.
1. Go to "Apps & notifications > News Suite > Storage & Cache" in your phone settings and select "Clear Storage".
* This will delete feeds and bookmarks which have been registered.
2. Restart News Suite
3. Select the link for "Terms of service" from the starting screen
4. Choose the region you stay in under "Select your language/region"

■ Setting Up Push Notifications ■
Users can receive periodic updates via push notifications with "Scheduled News," as well as push notifications for important news articles with "Additional feeds and other info of interest"
You can turn notifications on or off, and set timings, by selecting "Settings," followed by "Notifications," from the upper right menu.

Seriously, how do I get Kent Online to stop dominating the feed? It pops up a ridiculous amount and this morning the app is showing only articles from that source. I don't live in Kent. I don't live in Kent. This has been getting worse for years, what is wrong with this app?

App often lags within some seconds after loading articles. The source of the articles server is unknown. Even restart phone doesn't influence the app lagging behavior, while memory is sufficient to run any apps. Sony products are very great, but this app is annoying. My own feeds I manage in another great app.
