Terrible. First of all, the stories often freeze while I'm scrolling through them, making it take forever to read them. I often don't make it all the way through. It seems to freeze mostly as it's loading an ad that I'm trying to scroll past, so I end up stuck on a blank, unloaded ad that I won't be reading anyway. Even worse, if I rotate the phone, it reloads the entire news story and restarts at the top, so I lose my place. (It's easy to do this accidentally if I move across the room to, say, take something off the stove. It happens all the time.) On top of that, some the news sites limit me to maybe 3 stories a month, and when I rotate the phone and it reloads the page, that counts as another story. I can reach my limit on a single story. Overall, it's a very poorly thought-out and poorly written app.

Incredibly buggy. Feels like it's still in alpha, not even beta yet. Google's "simplified view" for web pages is NOT user friendly -- it forces a small font that's difficult to read, and when you zoom, you can't drag, so you have to zoom out and back till you can focus on what you actually want to see. Most embedded videos don't even work -- however the ads do :-\ . This app is not ready for prime time.

This app has gotten more frustrating to use. First, they don't offer any kind of protection against aggressive ads. It's extremely common for the entire page to be covered with ads, forcing me to open the article in a different browser, just to read it. And the app keeps only half loading pages. I'll be half way through reading an article, when the words stop and it's just a white page. Very disappointing.
