I'm on an older version of Android so my options are limited for news apps. I chose this one as it is supported by my OS. After reading a news story and return to the main screen, all my news stories have changed and are repeated across all headings (local, trending, breaking, etc). This is very frustrating and therefore I usually only read one story. Extremely frustrating!

Too busy. requiring multiple clicks to read an article when one will do. Also, they hide ads and commercials, making you click on them, only to find they are an ad. Ads and commercials are OK, but should be identified as such. not hidden several layers deep. Too many times, I have exited the app. completely because something that seemed interesting turned out to be an ad for some product. This app. turned out to be a waste of my time and nowhere near as informative as I thought it would be.

New Oct 30 update greatly improved functionality, so developers are on top of issues, thank you. Great layout and a wide variety of sources provide wide array of topics, all of which are user selectable. My one bone of contention is that you can't disable vibration independently while maintaing audible notifications.. Including that option would be seriously excellent. Nevertheless worthy of 5 stars based on content and performance. New update includes the vibration enable/disable feature! Tnx!
