This app use to NOT be annoying, but in the past month it has become too exaggerated with all of the notifications alerts. The alert sound you receive does get your attention, as it should ( when your volume is turned up ), however, whoever is controlling those notifications seems to be putting sooo much more topics and stories under this “ Notifications” worthy categories AND, I have gone into the settings and have turn off a couple of the options only leaving “Breaking News” as the category I want to be alerted for because my phone goes off far too often and I’m thinking something real important is happening when in fact, it really isn’t. One may become desensitized to their alert sound. You can check on certain things you want to be notified for like “Breaking News” or “Sports” and like I said, I only have “Breaking News” turned on, but I just received a notification and at the top of it it falls under “Trending”, one of the other categories. I don’t even have that notification topic turned on, so hopefully whoever’s responsible for these notifications can get this corrected. Thanks🙂

Why do you have to sound that siren when you issue a weather statement? It's confusing and alarming. I see nothing in my settings that allow me to turn it off. And if I was able to turn it off, will l lose the ability of getting the siren if there really is a tornado spotted? Thank you

I gave this app a 1 star simply because I can occasionally start an article without having to re-open the app.. otherwise, it shows a definite lack of consideration for the client reader, but full concern for the advertising client that gets their ad re-seen every re-opening...?! Disregard the client readers that refuse to read further due to such persistent stress!! They’ll grow a disdain for the advertising abuse and boycott the advertisers and also the broadcast provider of abusive ads.... Good Day without irrational, repetitive, mind hiccuping commercials.. why not show the articles without ads and have a section entirely devoted to ads that the viewer may search through by choice for interesting and creative ads for genuine interests or entertainment but Leave the Reader an Undisturbed Reading without breaking the chain of thought and interest..

Getting past the first ad doesn’t always happen. I sometimes have to re-open he app 2-3 times before it will stay open. It will frequently flash open then close again. I’ve also noticed since the update that the text in the articles overlaps the ads within the article making it very hard to read. Grammar and spelling is also a little choppy at times. I really do understand the need to get the information out fast, but spell check only takes a few extra seconds. Also, things are not “involved” in flames, they are “engulfed”.
