There's been a few ongoing issues over the past few updates: 1) The hyperlinks take us to a page of nothing but ads.

Really aggravating. Hope to see these issues fixed soon. Thank you.

Also, the sheer number of trackers this app employs is shocking. That means when I click on any notification link, it takes minutes to actually launch the story because I block them. You get 2 stars only because I like some of the writers.
