Misleading, fake adsAs soon as I downloaded this app, I had a fake ad pop-up to tell me that there was a usage on my Apple account. After that experience, I just decided to delete the app and not use it again.

Stop Ad AutoplayMy best read is that NewsBreak is allowing certain video ads to autoplay, and at least some of those ads are arriving with audio enabled. I have to mute my phone to avoid listening to these ads. Not acceptable.

AI ADS ARE BADYour so ads are so bad bro stop use ing so that’s why you get 1 star
