## Review summary

Reviews praise the app for extensive, worldwide science coverage and the ability to customize topics, helping users stay up to date. However, intrusive advertising dominates the experience: frequent full-screen ads, pre- and post-article interruptions, and gates that block reading. UI changes are widely disliked, with a new layout that truncates or flashes headlines and hinders navigation. Some users also report longer loading times and ads interfering with access to content. Despite these issues, a minority still values the quality of science content and hopes fixes improve the experience.

### Pros

- Extensive, worldwide science coverage with a large volume of articles.
- Ability to customize topic preferences to tailor the news you see.
- Keeps you up to date on the latest science news.
- Overall excellent quality and breadth of science content.

### Cons

- Intrusive, frequent ads including full-screen and pre/post-article interruptions.
- Ads block or gate access to content, causing slow reading and requiring waits or extra taps.
- New design/UI changes degrade usability (truncated headlines, flashing content).
- Longer loading times and ad-heavy experience.
