New layout is trash. Hate the horizontal scrolling, very finicky, either scrolls too fast or too slow, not natural at all. The previous layout was far superior with the simple vertical scrolling and larger images. There was no reason to fix what wasn't broken. Also major breaking news stories don't get featured at all. They get buried with all other headlines. New version is trash.

Have enjoyed the app for years, but the most recent update requires one to change privacy settings on my phone so that they can track my preferences across apps. Tracking to enable personalization should be an option. I am fine without the personalization. The app will not let me use it any longer without my agreeing to change privacy settings. I am deleting the app from my phone. It's unfortunate since it was one of my primary news sources.

Trying to read the articles in this app can be challenging. They have advertisements and stuff all over the place. There is a strip across the bottom and if you're scrolling up and you happen to touch that it is going to flip to another article. The content of the articles are very good but trying to get that information with all the bloat/advertising you have in there makes it very frustrating.
