Annoying video ads: Even though you've a paid subscription, you have to sit thru 15 seconds of video ads before watching a video. An article may have 12 short videos, and each starts with ads. Sheer madness. disruptive! Unnecessary noise! Waste of my time! I don't watch the ads unless necessary. Long gone the days of a paper newspaper which was supported by ads that didn't move, and a one- or two- second glimpse was all it took for the reader to acknowledge the sales pitch.

Sorry for your trouble. If there is a particular ad that you find overly intrusive or distracting to your reading experience, please contact us and provide a screenshot of the ad along with the URL the ad leads to. This will help us track down the ad, and in the event it does not comply with our ad policy, it will be removed from our network.

Imagine paying for a newspaper subscription, but the app won't actually hold an article open for more than 10 seconds before going back to the homepage, eventually leading to the app crashing. It's updated and all. Don't feel like I'm getting my subscription's worth. Plus, with them consistently changing who does the Seven in the morning, and always changing the music is just annoying. I come to you for news. Not different personalities in a podcast or funky transition music. I want the news.

Good news source, but too easy to accidentally "tap" an article you don't want to read, which counts towards your 10 free articles a month. They ought to prompt you to verify that you want to read it, or give you a few seconds to back out without penalizing. For all the ads, I think they could do that. Or maybe have you watch ads in exchange for reading.
