## Review summary

User feedback centers on intrusive autoplay and loud ads, frequent crashes and instability after updates, and a confusing, hard-to-read UI. Accessibility and readability issues (small font) and a burdensome ad experience significantly detract from the app, driving users away in favor of alternatives.

### Cons

- Autoplay videos play at full volume with no option to disable or control autoplay
- Ads overlay content and cover articles, with lengthy, intrusive ads that disrupt reading
- Frequent crashes, lag, and loading failures, especially after updates
- Font size is too small and not adjustable, making reading difficult
- New layout is confusing and less user-friendly, hindering navigation
