Too many ads that seem to accidentally show and fill my screen when I am reading an article most annoying. But the worst are stories that never get to the story just more pages with more ads. This has become nothing but bloat ware taking up space on my phone that I need. I just don't appreciate all the junk that Sansung, Google, and Verizon keep putting on MY Phone. I need to download some basic apps but I don't have room). Getting new phone, dropping all this. I will laugh last.
Google changed the app store to auto update whenever it decides it wants to. Even disabling the auto update feature, wont prevent apps from updating themselves. This flipboard garbage is another example of that combined with it being a preloaded app that cant be deleted. The devs seem to think it's perfectly normal. It's not. You've always been able to delete and choose updates in the past and on a computer. This app is as bad as Bixby. Utterly useless.
Bloatware app. You can't do it better. I don't even use the Google voice assistant. And you can't disable it, I've tried. Too many times. You cannot do better. The concept of the app is itself flawed. I don't want to talk into my phone except for calls. Everything else is a nuisance. You can't disable it even through the phone settings or the settings of the app itself. This app is literally worthless to me
