4/15/24 Been using this app for several years, it's really a mess. I rarely bother to open it anymore because it just keeps getting worse. Loaded with so many ads that reading an article is frustrating. One ad banner on the bottom of the screen, one pop-up video ad running in the left corner (with no x-out) covering half the paragraph. This means barely a paragraph is readable without scrolling, then there are box ads running in between every 3-4 paragraphs. About to give up on this app.

Kim, great news! We've adjusted the size of the video player in articles. Easily move the player anywhere on the screen by tapping the top-left corner and dragging, or close it by tapping on the X at the top-right. We hope you'll let us know how your experience has improved by updating your review.

I am done with my phone being taken hostage when ads play. You cannot skip or stop the ad. Lord help you if dont have the volume turned down when you open the alert. I understand the need for a revenue stream but forcing your phone to play a 30 second far from inspires me to by a product when the whole time I am trying to quiet the video. 5 seconds into the ad I am debating how badly I want to even read the news but too bad, the ad has you stuck. You won't be able to skip, stop or close the app.

At least with the previous form of this app the article would show fairly quickly. If you read it fast before the top half was covered it wasn't too bad. Now with this new 5.4 version that has been forced on us you can click the article and nothing happens except the click sound. I used to read the CBS app first, then you started covering it with videos and now it barely works at all. Great improvement, you can keep it, I will read NBC. Are you really trying to drive everyone away?
