Used to be my goto app for the morning news fix, even before SCMP and FT. since the new app "upgrade" it has in effect become impossible to use as I have to spend more time watching ads than reading the news. Why am I forced to watch a 10-second app after every article? If you want to sell ads put them in the article not over it

Articles often don't load of crash. Terrible app for news.

Now it has become unreadable. The updated app took out important features like sliding through news and getting every 3 clicks the same ad again and again makes the app unusable to read news... Too bad as I used it for the last 10 years or so. Ad appearance is getting worse, and it is now unusable to read news. Removed the app today... Bye bye
