Why is this the only news app that insists on deleting every single push notification when you open the app? Every single other place I get news from knows better than to do this, but hey you folks can’t even be bothered to fix the widget after 17.4 gave it a ridiculous looking black border so I don’t know why that surprises me. Almost as bad as 13.
Sound issues
App will continue to play audio or restart audio after being closed (not force closed, leaving the app normally). In a first for me, last night I was woken up when it randomly started playing an ad long after the app was closed. This was on an iPhone 13 and there was no way to stop it since it didn’t appear in the “now playing” control panel section. It stopped when I force quit the app - it was a pretty easy guess which app was doing it.

I’m not trying to be rude here but I just read an article about a police chase that ended on I-295 (which it never once said in the article). First it was referred to as the turnpike and then it was referred to as I-290. Twice. The only way I was able to figure out where this actually took place was by them mentioning exit numbers. This is inaccurate information as far as news reporting goes. How is one supposed to take this app seriously like this? iOS 17.2 and every update since makes the widget have an ugly dark black border. Please fix! Other apps have, you’re perfectly capable of doing so as well. Thank you. Also, if you could make it so that every single push notification from this app does not disappear just because you open the app or click on one of them, that would be fantastic. Really getting sick of that. This is literally the only news app on my phone that does that and it’s infuriating.
