The deluge of notifications for the most trivial of "breaking" news is the reason I've deinstalled this app.

Big, annoyance for me is not being able to resize the view, cluttered lacks meta overview of news, not a pleasure to use. Bit of a shambles really, would expect a prestigious organisation like the BBC to have a decent app.
