A common problem with news apps is the compulsive need to show large photos with every topic - so at most we can see 2 topics on the screen at once and have to mega-scroll to get through the list. This is not of value especially as the token photo rarely ties directly to the topic, it is just there to take up space. In this app the "trending" tab does a better job with 4 topics on a screen with just thumbnail pics. Sadly that is the only place with this view. Please consider a "compact" setting

I liked this app at first but now everytime you try to read one story, it jumps all over the place and when you get back to original page, the story is gone. If you do get a chance to read something, ads pop up constantly in the way and you try to x out and it takes you to the ad page. I am so frustrated with this app I am about to uninstall it. Fix your app!

I am frustrated with two things in the Newsbreak app. First, the app doesn't have the capability to view articles on the web, unlike other news apps such as Google News and Flipboard. Second, I am concerned about the continued display of video ads, such as Temu ads and ads from other entities. I have repeatedly marked these ads as "inappropriate" through the feedback function, but they continue to appear. This is frustrating and disruptive, and it makes me less likely to use the Newsbreak app!
