Too many pop-up ads, and many with audio as well! The app seems quite good, similar to Google News, but it is nearly unusable with so many pop-up ads. If you peek the news at work, everyone will now within a minute with the blast of audio from the ad. They don't even give you the option to pay to disable ads, you are just expected to eat them constantly while trying to read the news. A SOLID PASS!

This News outlet is brilliant, precise & accurate and being able to "favourite" stories to go back to is excellent. Sadly the videos just won't play, it just shows an exclamation mark! Otherwise it would be ☆☆☆☆☆ five stars!

Ads are so bad, let me start by saying I love opera, use the browser on PC for years. Saw this app yesterday, installed and love the look. However, everything you click on, gives you a partial read of the article, AS SOON as you click to see the remainder, an ad comes on. I have to say, this is so infuriating that I lasted only 1 day of use. Going back to Google news.
