## Review summary

Most reviews are negative. Users report frequent crashes and freezes on iOS, often with black screens. Advertisements dominate the experience, causing constant reloads, page jumps, and long ad videos that disrupt reading. Live video features are unreliable or removed, with streaming issues and Roku casting problems. Reading is hampered by unreadable or incomplete articles, misfiring links, and missing search. Push notifications don't reliably link to stories, and overall performance remains slow after updates.

### Cons

- Ad-heavy experience with constant reloads, page jumps, and long ads disrupting reading.
- Live video issues: live option missing or unreliable, and Roku casting not working.
