News not worth dealing with the ads – BBC News Review

This app has become unusable to me due to the constant stream of ads that automatically play (with sound!) while scrolling through articles. You cannot scroll for more than 30 seconds without your entire screen being commandeered by an ad for a car commercial or something else. I prefer BBC news to CNN, but at least the multitude of advertisements on the CNN app are easily avoidable tiles or hyperlinks. I’ve closed the app on multiple occasions in frustration and choose other news outlet apps even though I really love the BBC’s quality of reporting.
