## Review summary

Users repeatedly complain that KOLO8 NEWS is plagued by intrusive ads, including auto-playing videos, which overwhelm news content. The app is often hard to navigate and slow to respond, with frequent crashes and loading problems. Accessibility and readability are lacking, with no options for large text or high-contrast mode, and some users can’t exit or close ads. Several reviews note the app degraded from earlier versions, prioritizing ads over news.

### Cons

- Excessive and intrusive ads, including auto-playing video ads
- Video autoplay disrupts reading and breaks the reading flow
- Frequent crashes, freezing, or the app not loading
- Poor navigation and unclear or cluttered UI
- Lack of accessibility options (no large text, contrast settings)
