Simple. Not as left as CNN, yet not as far right as Fox. .... Thank you. Thank you. The widget is back! Nice, great, in fact, to get a preview of current news before you enter the app. .... SUGGESTIONS: A settings button for or within the app's widget would be a plus. 1. to control the font sizes beyond the device and app settings (for users with low vision). 2. to allow for a widget feature listing the latest headlines first, from the top.

Regarding just the app: it NEEDS custom notification settings. If I'm being inundated with notifications and can't choose what I want to see, I'm disinclined to read any of it. I want to choose what I care about the most. Instead, I had to turn off ALL notifications. News is important, but only when you can actually read it.

Watched a video on the app, then backed out into the main page and an audio ad started to play. I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. I exited the app, and the audio kept playing. I had to literally force stop the app to stop the audio from playing, which didn't even appear as media playing in my notification bar pull down.
