The content and news alerts are great, but if you only have the free version, you quickly find out that many of the news alert notifications you receive are for articles that are only available for paying subscribers. Very annoying. I wish there was an option that would only send me alerts for articles I have access to. Also, every time you open the app, you're greeted with an ad for their subscription service, which isn't cheap. Ultimately, I've decided to delete the app for these reasons.

Used to be great, easy to navigate sections, looked good, not overly riddled with ads. I understand a free app needs to be paid for by ads, but Now ads keep popping up in the middle of reading, I cant read certain stories if I don't hand over money. Its unusable if you don't pay. I don't pay for news, you already have ads all through out your articles, I'm ok with that. There are enough free news providers out there that I am about to take me readership elsewhere.

I've used the app for about a week, and took advantage of a great price. So far, very happy, and considering the ad free version also. Although, the ads are not pushy or annoying, they are there though. The user interface is simple, and the app is customizable, displaying the news I'm interested in and the news that I'm not. Very happy, great alternative to other news sources.
