Too many pop-up ads, and many with audio as well! The app seems quite good, similar to Google News, but it is nearly unusable with so many pop-up ads. If you peek the news at work, everyone will now within a minute with the blast of audio from the ad. They don't even give you the option to pay to disable ads, you are just expected to eat them constantly while trying to read the news. A SOLID PASS!

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.

Its good for local news, bad for world news. The notifications are always unimportant, there are few settings you can adjust, can't control how many old downloads are kept, not everything is in a digest format. Any notifications the timer resets so it always looks new. I want to see breaking news in the notify bar, not fluff pieces or click bait. Which it mostly all is. Can't remove news stations and there are few interesting ones.
