Lots of clickbait alerts and questionable news sources. It gets one star for local news being okay. otherwise it's a terrible news app. As a note to the developer, Clickbait isn't necessarily fake, it's written with charged language to drive you to click. The veracity of these articles is suspect. It might be more helpful to be able to exclude charged language. Other news apps seem to have these measures in place. This is the worst news app I have.

Block function does not work. When you block someone, you still get notifications of their replies. What's the use in having a block function? This app sucks. When people reply, you can see it in your notifications but when you click on it, there's never anything there. Then the app shows that people haven't posted for weeks when they replied to uou a day ago. Tech support is useless. They say email them and they'll fix problems. You never hear from them. Deleting this app immediately

I had to reduce my rating to 3 stars because, how can ads keep popping up after reading every single article. So annoying and most times, I end up leaving the app at the sight of too many ads. Why have they turned this hungry to ads revenue. Am even considering an alternative for good news broadcast.
