User Reviews

User reviews center on ad-heavy frustration and stability issues after the update. Persistent pop-ups and mandatory ads block access to content, while startup and loading problems can render headlines unusable or blank. The updated layout hurts readability with small text and cluttered UX. Notification behavior is inconsistent. A minority still praises the app, but the dominant theme is dissatisfaction due to ads and performance.

Pros

Positive sentiment from several reviewers (e.g., 'Just great.', 'Like it alot', 'Good', 'Great app').
Some users still use it for morning news and report value when it works.
A few reviewers show nostalgia for the app ('luved this app growing up').

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads including startup pop-ups, full-page ads, and mandatory ads to access content.
App stability and loading problems: won't open on some devices and headlines may load with blank articles.
Layout/UX degraded after update: smaller text and a cluttered, hard-to-read interface.
Push notifications are inconsistent: often not shown on the home page or still delivered after being turned off.
Ads interfere with reading, with frequent pop-ups during story access.

Recent reviews

Annoying close caption... I cast this app on our TV, since Dish removed the program on their service. The icons for volume/mute, close caption and minimize are so close together, I have to use the pen to use these functions. Yet, the close caption CAN NOT be turned off, even though the icon show it as being off??? What am I missing? Also, there is NO option in settings to disable close caption??? Drop one more star. Annoying ads are bearable, I just go get a drink of go to restroom...
