אפליקציית החדשות של ישראל N12 4+

Good articles, bad implementation

I like the articles and how news and magazine videos are embedded in them. However, the app itself often either doesn’t open when clicking on a link from the Home Screen or from the app’s home page, or sometimes the app just crashes.
It would also be nice if the live streaming would continue to play when the device is in standby mode, similar to how some of the competitors do.

Advise from חבר

I like the app and use it to read news from Israel after so many years I have left Israel.

However, the ads are just killing the fun:

1. Ads open every time I switch into and from an article. Once per launch is enough. But this is a double-punch! If it was only an ad to read an article - ניחא, I get it. But an ad to also get back from the article to the main menu, just so I can decide what to read next? Try one article for launch, do A/B testing, and optimize from there. Also try a paid version without ads. Please make sure I get on the right side of this A/B testing. I will pay!

2. Ads seem to be misbehaving and finding loopholes to block the articles. For example, fake close buttons, close buttons hidden so far on corners that I need to remove my phone guard to press them.

3. Depressing ads. I get ads for Florida retirement locations and some other stuff. Fine. But I once got an ad encouraging me to secure a burial plot at the nearest Jewish cemetery! בכלל לא קול!

תודה

I am slightly dissatisfied, please help!

I was watching Hakochav Haba Thursday, JUly 15, and then I got a phone call and I couldn’t go back to watching it, all I got was the news all over again, with no way to get back to the program. Why is this? Why is there no way to go back to the program after the news?
Whenever they have the 8:00 N12 news there is a very long pause for the advertisements, but it’s a quiet, frozen pause that if you miss it, you have to start the news all over again. Some of them are five minutes. long and it’s very annoying.
