I don't understand what the people running this app. are thinking. now, you can't even click on a story without it going to some sort of weird advertisement Pic. you have to wait for it to time out then reverse back to the article you were trying to read. it does this almost every time. this used to be a great app. with entertaining news. now it's just annoying. I'll try it for a bit longer. I can't be the only one thinking this way. maybe they will change. otherwise, there are a other options
