    Oh man, those sneaky ads just really know how to be annoying. So, I've been checking out some articles and then bam, out of nowhere, this ad shows up and takes over. No matter what I do, there's no escaping it. I barely get a glimpse of the article before it's all gone. Even when I try to go back, it's the same old story. If I can't even read anything without these ads butting in, then what's the point of this app? It's basically become an ad machine for me. Well, sayonara Flipboard, you're getting the boot from my device.

    Wow, dealing with all those annoying commercials and advertisements can be frustrating. And now a data breach on top of that? It's hard to imagine how anyone could access any useful data from it since the app crashes constantly, freezes up on screens, and even the news stories have spelling errors or missing information. Journalism just doesn't seem as reliable as it used to be. Plus, it takes up too much memory and storage to keep installed, and most of the news is from places like the U.K., Germany, and France, which might not be very relevant for someone living in the U.S. Sounds like you weren't very impressed with the app overall. Don't worry about giving it a bad review, though.

    Ugh, this app is so frustrating! I wish there was a way to make it better, like just getting rid of it completely. I've tried everything to remove it, but somehow it keeps popping back up. It's even more annoying than a pesky mosquito that just won't leave you alone, at least you can swat those away. Seriously, if I wanted this app, I would have installed it myself. Big thumbs down to 'Briefing' and 'Samsung' for forcing this app as a default on my phone. I might have to switch phone brands once this one kicks the bucket.

    Of course! No worries at all. Let me assist you with unlocking your phone, no problem. Just tell me a bit more about the phone - like what type it is, and we'll figure it out together.

    I'm so frustrated with this app! I've had my phone for 3 years and I made sure to disable this app. But out of nowhere, about 2 weeks ago, it started reinstalling itself. I tried going into the app manager to turn off auto updates and uninstall it, but it keeps reappearing every two days. It's annoying how it keeps coming back. I doubt anything can be done, but I really want to get rid of this app for good. I find its content offensive and intrusive, and I just don't want it on my phone anymore.

    I totally get where you're coming from! It's so frustrating when you spot an interesting headline on your phone, but then you don't have a chance to check it out immediately. And trying to scroll back and find that exact news feed can be such a hassle. And yeah, the search feature isn't very reliable for locating specific news stories since it usually just shows general topics to follow. I agree - there should definitely be an improved search function that makes it easier to track down individual stories.

    I really dislike this app. Giving it one star is being too generous. It's constantly bothersome and unnecessary. I can't uninstall it, only disable it, but even that doesn't work properly. It somehow managed to update itself even after I disabled it! I absolutely despise this app! And yes, I already turned off auto-update on Google. It's just taking up space for no good reason. If they're going to include apps that we don't need in the first place, they should at least allow us to completely remove them. This app, along with others that came preinstalled, is just wasting precious storage space!

    It's so annoying when you're reading an article and there are tons of ad breaks. It can be really frustrating when you're trying to get all the information. I get tired of constantly seeing ads about removing ear wax, especially when I'm snacking while reading. Seeing the same ad over and over is okay a few times, but having an ad for every "Next" click is just too much. It really ruins the fun of using the app.
