This app has become worthless. It does not open to the selected story from my notifications. In order to find what caught my attention, I have to remember the key words and search. My wife is on the iOS platform and has issues with that version as well. The weather no longer opens for her. She reinstalled it to no avail. On top of that, you have to click off a full-page ad to see whatever story does open. Very disappointing.

I bumped it up to 2 start for this newest update. I still cannot reverse or forward the videos. I lowered my rating. I have a android and now when I have expand the screen and I need to pause I can't because of my user buttons at the bottom of the screen. when I minimize the screen it freezes or has a black screen. FIX IT!!!!

Problem: New design has smaller & narrower font for headlines, making it hard to read, especially for anyone with vision issues. Love the dark theme, which helps my eyes, but side-by-side image with headline (forcing smaller font) makes it way worse
