The app has gone so down hill. Yes theres some news but everything is just A.I slop now that can't even properly write an Article title. So many click bait articles that don't even match the title. It's just political warfare in the comments and newsbreak does nothing about the threats and bots spamming you with ads in the comments.

I used to enjoy using this app. the reason why I'm not giving this app a five star rating is because of all the ads. there's way too many ads. every time I read an article, you have to watch 2 ads. real disappointing. the ads over shadow the viewing experience. this needs to get fixed. we expect ads, not so many where you are overwhelmed with them to the point where you want to uninstall the app.

Between this one and SmartNews. I'll probably chose SmartNews. These ads are ridiculous. Having to scroll through 2 minutes of ads for a 30 second read is annoying. There's more ads than news. Don't get me started on the videos that get posted. As far as local news. There isn't much that I don't already know prior to the constant notifications. SmartNews had it's crashing issue and it was fixed. This one seems like a waste of time.

Way too many pop up ads and for the local news section it shows news from towns in other states with the same name. Too much bs.. Deleted!
