Ads are so bad, let me start by saying I love opera, use the browser on PC for years. Saw this app yesterday, installed and love the look. However, everything you click on, gives you a partial read of the article, AS SOON as you click to see the remainder, an ad comes on. I have to say, this is so infuriating that I lasted only 1 day of use. Going back to Google news.

Its good for local news, bad for world news. The notifications are always unimportant, there are few settings you can adjust, can't control how many old downloads are kept, not everything is in a digest format. Any notifications the timer resets so it always looks new. I want to see breaking news in the notify bar, not fluff pieces or click bait. Which it mostly all is. Can't remove news stations and there are few interesting ones.

I am on several news platforms and have accounts with each one. I enjoy the "Opera Newsbreak" in particular because of the way the information is laid out. It's very convenient and I don't get lost where I am going with the article. I've also noticed and had a major problem with the articles themselves concerning the content. Some stories have no common sense applied to them and that's very frustrating as a reader that is critical of truth, context and content. Not with Opera Newsbreak!
