Too many pop-up ads, and many with audio as well! The app seems quite good, similar to Google News, but it is nearly unusable with so many pop-up ads. If you peek the news at work, everyone will now within a minute with the blast of audio from the ad. They don't even give you the option to pay to disable ads, you are just expected to eat them constantly while trying to read the news. A SOLID PASS!

We appreciate your feedback about the overwhelming number of pop-up ads and the audio issues you're facing. It’s understandable that this affects your experience, especially in a work environment. Your input is important, and we’re committed to making improvements. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

poor. does not have my home town, or others in South Lincolnshire. it only recognised Grantham. the range of news sources was very thin, and most of them are of no interest. nothing about science, travel, history, geology. could not add sites or RSS links. the news stories I did see were quite old. the UI is a bit scruffy. disappointed. uninstalled

We truly appreciate your feedback, Robert Harvey, and it’s concerning to hear that the app didn't meet your expectations for local news and topics like science and history. Please contact us using the product's report a bug feature so we can work on enhancing your experience. Thank you for your input! Opera team

The fact there's no option to disable ads is beyond ridiculous, surely the whole point of a news aggregator is to enable you to quickly browse a number of sources - the incessant pop up ads make that slower than if you just visit your favourite sites directly. It's a pity their isn't a review option of zero stars.

Hello Stephen, We appreciate your feedback on the ad experience. It's clear that the frequent pop-ups are hindering your ability to efficiently browse multiple sources, which is frustrating.
