After many years of using the app, from this morning when I go to open it, it just sends me back to the phone desktop, I deleted it and reinstalled it, and it's just the same.

Ray Senior, 2024-12-17Very good app. Keeps asking for cookie consent at least once a week if you decline, though, and there's only accept all, no reject all, so you have to turn off several types of cookies individually if you don't want them. EU Cookie law says friction to accept and reject all must be the same. It would be nice if you fix that.Thanks

Fabio, 2024-11-27Whilst the app itself generally works well, the process for opting out of advertising cookies is absolutely appalling! It takes over 10 minutes to trawl through over 100 advertisers and being forced to cancel them individually when a simple 'reject all' would suffice. Actively looking for similar apps without this opting our process.
