What’s New
Version 9.61.0
In this update, we’re launching Picture in Picture mode for the Yahoo News app. Now you can continue to watch videos that capture the latest headlines and multitask on your phone, even when the Yahoo News app is not open. To activate, simply tap the Picture in Picture icon at the top right corner of the video.
Ratings and Reviews
Okay, too many video only articles.
The recent changes seem to throw a lot of video at readers in articles. Many times I like to just read article,then maybe watch associated video. Would be nice to be able to pause the video. Video uses a lot of data and even though many have unlimited plans the data is slowed down after a certain amount of data usage.
Variety and less biased
Yahoo offers a much broader look at the news with many articles about human interests and not just political views about every aspect of life. Yahoo news is more enlightening and less anger. I like the news Yahoo offers. It is one of approximately 15 news feeds so I am able to see many viewpoints of what is happening in United States , from around the World.

Thank you for the info, we will pass it along to our product team for consideration. -BR
Glitches to different story when clicked
The app often opens an entirely unrelated story when when I’m trying to follow a different headline. Then when I go back, I can’t find the story I was originally interested in reading.
It also switches articles. Often, when I’m in the middle of reading a long story it will suddenly switch to a different article with no way to get back to the story I was reading. The only option is to spend 5-10 scrolling through the feed hoping to find the headline again. This is especially annoying when I’m 15 minutes or more deep into a long read article.
