Used to be great, but after this last update, when I click on a notification it redirects immediately to a spam/phishing/malware ad and I have to close the app. Usually I can reopen and go directly to the article, but sometimes the article hasn't made it to the homescreen, which is incredibly annoying.

The app is just really bad... very disorganized and sloppy. I get the push notifications and I once got one for a very serious news story and when I click to see it, I cant see it without watching an ad first. Which I feel is really disrespectful. Regular news stories, yeah sure. But things like shootings or other serious stories.... have some decency to not monetize it with an ad.. And then you've got the absolutely bogus sponsored clickbait "articles" thrown in...its just bad.

The app was nice until the last update. For a while it would only let you see an article for maybe 5 seconds and then go white. Now it is opening a full screen ad as soon as the app starts with no way to close it other than closing the app. Not sure what they changed, but they need to revert it until they can make it work correctly.
