This used to be such a great news app and my primary source for keeping abreast of current affairs. However it seems more recently that it is becoming increasingly riddled with lengthy ads. Watching the news the ads seem to play out repeatedly between reels making the viewing process lengthy and annoying. It never used to be this way and I'm now using the app less and more frequently migrating back to BBC news. Good news coverage but the balance between news and ads needs to be much improved.

Like many news apps, every article is death and destruction, or scandal and celebrity shaming. Where is the good news?? Also, the app contains too many ads and links to unrelated stuff, like puzzle apps?? What's that about? If Sky News creates a page JUST for good news - I'll reinstall the app. Otherwise, the news is just too depressing!

The reporting is very 'tabloid' and I know that's very strong language but it's true. On top of that, the adverts are very intrusive. I chose to view a video report and, surprise, surprise...an advert ran before the report itself. That was the last straw. A news app should be ad free to have any credibility to start with...when you add the option to play puzzles...app deleted.
