Ratings and Reviews
Reviewing
It took me a while to get used to the new version. I felt the new version was a mess, confusing and quite much a mistake.
I still miss the old version occasionally, however now I am accustomed to this current version and well versed in using this. I dislike the junks ad block which don't really advertise anything at least not in my region where I view it.
Other than this I am quite comfortable with the new version
New version buggy and missing functionality
The new version is buggy and force closes the app when clicking on certain news items. I don’t like the forced signup window. In the old version I could customize the order of news categories which is not available on the new version. I miss that
Your becoming a Chanel of manipulation and misinformation
I am completely disappointed by your news , manipulating and misinforming people .
The truth it’s that your not a transparent news Chanel , your paid to do so as the ones are paying you . To misinformation and manipulation.
