It pisses me off how you can't even read the news anymore without ads shoved down your throat. This app is worse the half the pay to win games out there. It's poorly set up, with no real organization or direction, hard to find what your even looking for, and again, WAY to many ads. I've been watching 23 news since I was 15. This is a real disappointment...

recent changes with inescapable ads and less weather information are terrible

Relabel as Outbrain ad app. This morning there were zero actual news stories just clickbait. Waste of phone memory. Just remove all your spam and ad blockers and you will emulate this app without needing to actually install it. Useless. Uninstalled.
