Decent news app but ….Decent news app but same annoying ad every couple of minutes, I don’t care about ads as long there is a little bit variety. And what is it with ads that try to scam old people out of money don’t care as long as the money is good? Also horrible picture quality

It is what I've been missinNo hard “right” or “left” bias. News, not commentary. News, not personalities. Provides “the facts, just the facts.” Great!
