Would prefer it to take me to E Addition. Would rather see actual pages. Not just the stories someone wants me to see.

Actually no one should, but especially paying customers. Each time I go to the apps home page or view an article, a new ad displays at bottom of screen. The ads blinking in red and saying the phone is infected or that memory is low are scams. The app publisher and Google should police what in my opinion are fraudulent ads. If they weren't they wouldn't be making false statements. I probably will stop using the app and may cancel subscription.

The app is simple and well laid out, but there are two major issues: 1) you can only read todays articles. You are out of luck if you want to see what was in the news yesterday, and 2) response time from content servers is really slow. Hopefully that is only from the recent launch and higher than expected traffic, so I'll update this review as the issues are addressed.
