"body": "Downloaded the Just the News app thinking it might be a convenient way to read their stories. Unfortunately the main feature appears to be a loading wheel that spins… and spins… and spins. On the rare occasion a story actually loads, it is immediately buried under a parade of pop up ads that make the article nearly impossible to read. Apparently the app is very committed to advertising. The news part seems optional.",

"title": "Worse Than The Web Version",
"body": "Not only does the JTN app include the ever annoying auto-play video that no one likes, the popup ads make the app unusable. At least the website can be used with active ad blockers. Content is excellent but I suspect they are missing a large swath of potential readers because of the ads and annoying video. I know they want people to pay for the pleasure of dealing with neither but so does the WSJ, for the same amount $. Uninstalling.",
