5/5Do UK newspapers at your fingertips.!
It’s just so convenient every day to keep up with what’s going on in the UK, etc., with the App.! Every morning back here in the states so I can keep up with what’s going on across the pond and it’s just so much fun to have that ability.

2/5Advertisement annoying
As a German citizen in the US I enjoy reading German news, but the pop up ads take all the fun away. I can’t close them without closing the entire app and start over. Very annoying and I am going to delete the app unless you give me a option to turn ads off.
