Really don't like the new UI. It is very cluttered and doesn't make much sense as to have things are categorised / ordered. Noticed some bugs - if you don't refresh the page for a while and click on an article you are directed to a completely different story. Content generally too US focussed and far too many adverts throughout.

New look less user friendly, the bar at the top let you easily jump to news categories, now it's just one endless news page which forces news on you. BBC news made a similar change a while back, which is why I switched to sky news. Lazy design and basically following the crowd. Are the any app developers these days that consider the user? Or do what's easiest within new development framework.

The latest update has messed up this previously good news app. The text size on the main home page is now too small and changing it in settings has no effect. It is now clunky to scroll down and looks cluttered. The headings at the top have gone, which I did use. I don't watch videos much, but won't at all if forced to watch adverts first.
