I've tried every setting possible and nothing stops this app from refreshing completely different news vids if your phone gets tilted or jostled in any way. It's infuriating and ridiculous. I've checked and double checked every phone setting possible, shut off background refresh, everything for this app and nothing works. I've literally had it refresh with all new videos right in the middle of watching a news piece because the phone got tilted. Not worth this hassle, deleted. and good riddance.

I only wish there were more options, and quicker updates. Otherwise, it is the best damn news app I've ever seen. Although, I really hate the new ticker. That's just annoying as hell, for anyone who has OCD and/or ADHD. And it just repeats the same things all the time anyway, distracting me from watching the video, and sometimes covering up running headlines at the bottom of the screen. Edited

This is a very good app, but they stated the premium version is commercial free. After signing up for the premium version, however; I was still getting as many commercials as before. I reached out several times with no response and out of total frustration, I finally cancelled the premium subscription. If you want a good news agitator and do not mind LOTS of commercials, use the free version.

You can not get the app to stop sending you entertainment and sports news. I have down-thumbed those stories every time, I have NOT clicked that as an interest, yet, every 10 minutes, i get more entertainment and sports stories. HOW TO STOP THAT??? Otherwise, I like this app a lot and it acts differently on different types of TVs or phones or laptops. On some TVs i get offered a list for late night TV, but not on my other Tvs. odd. But i very much DO like being able to get the news from other sources besides the cable news channels. And i like that international news is offered. I do wish the late night option was offered on Every tv set i have. Edited
