The ads from various news sites have overwhelmed and ruined my ability to enjoy this application. With 75% of my screen space being covered with ads with fake close buttons, I can hardly read any content. There seems to be no effective way to block ads through the app, so I've had to switch to an alternative browser application and navigate to news sites directly. Rendering this app completely useless.

The refresh rate in a recent update makes this app unusable. I don't know if it's a time limit or a percentage of scrolling or if they accidentally overrode gestures so the simple act of scrolling results in a refresh, but whatever it is, it refreshes frequently now. I can barely read the headlines of 4-5 articles before it refreshes again, resetting the view, but the articles at the top section don't update, just everything else does. So, as soon as I find something interesting - refresh!

The old news and weather app is much better. It seems like the new app doesn't remember your preferences well, doesn't show more news from your chosen favorite sources, and often doesn't give the choice to dislike news. Most importantly, you cannot scroll through all news sections quickly anymore, since there are shown far too much items per section. The old app was perfect, please repair this or make it available again.
