User Reviews

Most reviews condemn the app for intrusive ads, autoplay video/sound, and unreliable navigation (opening the wrong stories or after notifications). A noticeable portion cites perceived bias and a lack of independent journalism. A minority still values the weather content. Users call for fewer ads, disabled autoplay, better navigation, and improved stability and compatibility.

Pros

Weather information is valued by users.
Some users find the app's news content useful.

Cons

Excessive ads and fake AI articles; intrusive advertising experience.
Autoplay videos with sound and videos that play automatically when opening stories; can be disruptive and loud.
Perceived political bias and lack of independent journalism (left-leaning slant).
Navigation/UX issues: stories not opening to the intended article, tapping notifications opens other stories, and layout/scrolling problems.
Stability/compatibility issues: freezing/crashing and older OS support.

Recent reviews

You are treated to a series of adds that exceed the length of the story. The video of the story is only shown after the advertisements. This app is a reading news source. I get the add revenue pays to provide the news free but it has been taken to an excessive level.
