I like this app very much. I usually don't have any problems with it. I like the fact, that it's interactive, without FB! It also seems to have more respectful people, commenting ( at least most of the time) Easy to navigate, with so many videos. So similar to YT without controlling your comments. I'm not tech savvy either, I find it to be user friendly.

It's so-so.Format & options are great,yet the app has terrible glitches,such as when you forward an article to somebody..they either cant view it in whole or it says that a video is not supported in the specific country. Also constantly with " network failed" when making a comment when network is up,running,strong as can be. Work on making it better please.

Ads are so bad, let me start by saying I love opera, use the browser on PC for years. Saw this app yesterday, installed and love the look. However, everything you click on, gives you a partial read of the article, AS SOON as you click to see the remainder, an ad comes on. I have to say, this is so infuriating that I lasted only 1 day of use. Going back to Google news.
