The most comprehensive news app I've found, and the dark mode is essential. I won't use a news app without it. Use it on my laptops too. Even has comics, like a real newspaper. BUT it has a basic problem: it responds poorly to touch! I often have to tap several times to get an item to open, sometimes I have to press and hold, sometimes things won't open at all. It's very inconsistent, and it's not my phone, every other app works fine. You'd think this is like Coding 101 for a touch screen app.

Has a good variety of news and viewpoints. The latest format changes have made it clumsy. Videos are not clearly marked. If I accidentally start a video playing. I can't stop it till it fully loads. Even then it may freeze my phone, even blacking out the screen. Emoticons are an irritant. I wish I could block them. Each time I read a story, it opens a new tab which is never closed unless I manually close it. Tabs just keep adding on. This is a waste of system resources. Time to find a new app.

I have loved MS News for 3 years. It is balanced and very complete. The version change to 'Start', however is almost unusable. It frequently defaults back to the start following the reading of an article. It even does this if you are in the old format where you can choose your subject area. It apparently allows advertisers to lock their website in so you can't 'return' to the news after inadvertently touching an ad. You have to kill the app instead.
