Bad. OK for news, but would like more stories to choose from (this is a news organization). Forces you to sit through a long opening splash screen (the night screen looks like the Evil Eye). Tapped an ad - could not kill it, even by closing app. Had to mute my phone - glad it didn't happen in public. When the ad finally ended, still could not close the ad pop-up - had to force-kill. Opening popup says it collects data, even when not in use. Uh, no - I force-kill it after every use.

Boy, I hope you like notifications because you will be getting a lot of them. Sure, there are some pretty granular options to control what news items you want to receive notifications about but, guess what? They don't work. I have it set to receive notifications for traffic and weather and instead I receive them for everything from high school football to local nobodies doing handstands on unicycles. All. Evening. Long.

The only complaint is that when there is a traffic incident in the notifications, the verbal description only appears in the notification (unless I just need to be taught how to find it within the app.). In my experience, once you click on the notification, you get the map which shows congestion with colors, but in the case of such information, the verbal is at least as helpful as the map, and often more so, especially if the estimated clear-away or reopening time wasn't memorized.
