User reviews
Way too much clickbait advertisement on the app, as you try to scroll to find what you're actually looking for.

It's a good app, but they don't cover all of the news as well as they should. Some stories are repeated, while other news is just left out. This is something new in the last 3 videos there's NO SOUND!! You need to fix this or stop showing a video option.

The app is ok, If we could take the functions off the screen while im tryna watch that would be great. Other than that, no problem here
