Too many ads. You can pay, but you can't get rid of the ads. I think I've seen more advertisements than actual news.

Really frustrating. I am trying to access my account, to renew my subscription, and the app freezes up. I am on step four, and I cannot prompt past the "sign in" or "create new account". Nothing. @(#$+@?/!!!!!
