Used to be a fantastic app. Adverts were only occasionally shown, though now it's every time I open it. It delivers to me the news I want to read, but it's become a hassle to see what I want. I don't mind occasional ads, this is intrusive though.

It won't let me uninstall it, only its updates as it's a system app. It's a news app and I can't see it has anything to do with the phone's system except for Samsung making money out of adverts. If I wanted news feeds there are many apps out there that don't force themselves on you and "can " be uninstalled. Almost every review is complaining about not wanting it and impossible to uninstall, now and again there's a good review almost using the same words so I presume they are Samsung employees

The app displays various news stories, sometimes older, sometimes newer, their level is like that of a tabloid, just to attract attention. It was still bearable, but since ads appeared after opening the app, it's super annoying. While I tolerated it before, now I definitely won't use it anymore.
