Annoying - But, Explanation

Wales Online must be the most annoying App you can get. Trying to read an article without getting a headache is practically impossible as adverts continually popping in disrupts the text causing it to jump, jump and jump. Given up.
Hi there, and thank you for your feedback. It sounds like you are viewing a Mobile Web page, or a Mobile Web page from with inside the app. Our 'native' native articles have very few ads and have fixed positions so there is no jumping around, unfortunately if you click a link within the app which loads a Mobile Web View, we have no control over how that screen is presented. For the best experience we recommend staying within the app as much as possible. The Reach PLC Apps Team"

Great News but watch out for Crypto scams!

Watch out for “drop downs” relating to famous people advocating investing in Crypto. The famous people such as Elon Musk in the US and Jeremy Clarkson in the UK have their images appearing on screen apparently being interviewed by tv companies re Crypto trading and how to make a fortune quickly. This is all fake and is designed to lure you into investing in Cryptocurrency. Be warned.
This technique is also used on Meta aka Facebook.

The worst news app I know of

I would love to be able to use an app that provides a decent news service for Wales. This just doesn’t do it and never has. Here are just some of my gripes.
You open a news article and start reading, then the pop up adverts start to populate which break into the text you are reading.
Lots of the news articles are just so out of date. Some have no date on them at all and they’re not sorted with the most recent first.
I commented on an article today and received notification that people had replied to me. I clicked on the notifications which took me to the article. Can I see the replies? I can’t even find my original comments!
I see the developer keeps responding to people’s complaints by apologising. I want no apology. I want you to spend the time on taking action to resolve some of the long term problems with this app that have been there for years! And the page on my browser is just as bad…..
