(Updated) don't install update if you haven't already. – Microsoft Start Review

The Bing News app on Windows Phone devices was perfect. It was clean, easy, and put reading first, and all the bells and whistles of sharing and social network stuff second. Now it's rebranded or revive-branded to MSN, and available on iOS. 5 stars. UPDATEx1:. Constantly crashes. Not sure why Microsoft broke the app in an update. 1 star review. UPDATEx2: Microsoft pushed out a new update. This was first a 5 star review, then 1 star after a update caused it to crash after viewing a news article. Now it's 4 stars after they fixed it. 4 stars because it took them months to fix it. UPDATEx3:. The crashes are back in Feb 2018. Rating it a 1 again. I cannot read more than 2 news articles before it crashes. UPDATEx4:. Still crashing. However I've found that if I connect my phone to a VPN the crashes stop and I can read article after article. UPDATEx5:. They fixed the crashing issue. Thank you. All is well again. I can read multiple articles again. I like that when I pick one article to read it also prefetches/caches the article before and after that. I utilize that feature for the point in my commute where I enter a tunnel and have no service, but the app gives me 3 articles to read without any cell service. UPDATEx6:. The latest update that came out around July 1, 2018, now includes "sponsored" articles. It's clearly stated but also unwanted. Give me ads instead, or accept purchased ad removal. It also removed the full screen reading view which was one of the most compelling feature over all the other news apps.
