yes we could do better absolutely they're better app there and I'm not going to try to promote any of them maybe ;-) and it just amazes me that there's a billion downloads and so if it's a billion downloads does this include people who just downloaded the app and then deleted it but we're not deducting from how many people deleted this disappointing app

"less than 1 star" rating based on annoyance. I kept getting random & annoying "ping" alerts from "Briefing", but couldnt figure out what app was causing it. Occasionally woke me up at night (even with 'do not disturb" turned on). Finally figured out it was Flipboard's Briefing. Didnt know it was there, dont want it, can't uninstall. The movie line, "Terminate with extreme prejudice" comes to mind ...

evasive ad's that take control. lately I have been reading articles and an ad pops up. there is no way to escape. I get one screen into reading the article and it's all over. when I restart flipboard and go back to the article. the same thing happens. if I am no longer allowed to read articles, this app for me is totally useless. it's now just an ad server. goodbye flipboard, you are now uninstalled
