Until recently it was hard to get the zoom to work right. but lately it's been much better. I like the original type and layout better than the new layout.

I'm considering canceling my subscription because of the distraction of ads in every article I try to read. I expect this treatment in a free news feed, not one I'm paying for.

The app stopped working. Doesn't load when opened. Uninstalled/reinstalled and still won't bring up any content. Never brings up the notification stories.
