Pros and cons of SmartNews: Local Breaking News app for iPhone and iPad

SmartNews: Local Breaking News app good for

I love using this app, I learn a lot because I dont have time to collect articles from all the news sites. But I wish there were more Canadian centred news options. I see some of our news in the "World" section, but I want a section that is strictly Canadian.
This app has surprised me. It has a nice mix of stories and updates frequently. I wish there more magazines to choose from but otherwise its an excellent reader especially for world news stories. I do wish the individual stories loaded a little faster.
Once I started using delete other news apps. Whats the point, this app has them all :)
Cool app who find each top story around the world base on your interest. Easy, you can chose when you will receive notification.
Great all use it every day Recommended more then a few times :)
I love this app, by far my main app for news, but since i updated to ios10 the science tab wont work, the pictures wont load, already reinstalled the app and bug still there, please fix it.

Some bad moments

At every update I come back and look, and yet again, this very easy feature still isnt there.
Not sure why or how but this app is consuming alot of data. Was hit with hefty overage charges and traced it back to this app. App used 1.5GB of data in 2 weeks wtf?
Used to like this app, now very biased and one sided ever since Trump entered political picture. Thought it was just me but then have seen other users note the same. Will try Drudge Report as another ex-user of the app suggested.
Science must remain objective irregardless of political views. It does not take long to see the authors feeble attempt to hide behind science to facilitate Trump bashing and one sided opinions. No wonder the public is not convinced of your "science" what an absolute joke for an article labeled as science
I have had this app for years and loved it! However, it is now being filled with more advertising than I can tolerate. If I have to continue to minimize ads just to get through a new story it is definitely a problem! ( not just pone ad but multiple.)
A good place to find biased useless (and many times fake) news. Use Feedly.
