Honestly I really like the UI, the app feels speedy and nice to use. But my main complaint is the news that's available. I was just looking for general global/international news but I had to select a country and it seemed to only want to show me specific news local to the country. I wouldn't have an issue with that normally but I'm from the UK and the app is missing some pretty major news companies. Like where is the BBC? Or the Guardian? Also why is there no option for tech or science news?

I attempted to go to an article. As it opened I got to see about 2 seconds of the news and pop ups for google play and other ads took over my phone and I had to force stop Opera News app in order to get my phone back....uninstalling Opera News...talk to me when you consider the news more important than your advertisements!

Hi Storm Ryder, we're so sorry for this. I've forwarded this message to our Quality Assurance team. Unlike many other big tech companies, we rely on ads to keep our independence and protect your privacy but we always want to do so in a way that doesn't mess up your experience. We do hope you give us another chance. Br, Jide - The Opera Team

I've used Google News for years, but wanted to look into other news aggregator apps. As this has a 4.5/5 and the Opera browser has a good rep, I gave it a shot. Well, it's just inconceivably horrible in so many ways. Starting with, how the actual hell did you decide that MOST of these stock "news outlets" have a speck of legitimacy? Some wrestling site with political articles? UNILAD? So so many... Clickbait is rampant in the main feed? No indication of when an article was published? GARBAGE.

Hi J Max, we're sorry for the bad experience on our app. At our core, we believe in being a neutral presenter of info from ALL sides so you are informed and can make the decision on what to read and trust. I will forward this to our Quality Assurance team, but you can also block sources so they won't show up again. Br, Jide - The Opera Team
