Why does this now want to deafen me with the loudest notification ever for "breaking news" that's never breaking news its always something stupid

They took away the option to filter notifications. The app now bombards you with 5-10 "breaking news" notifications a day which are pure spam e.g. reality TV gossip, sports events starting, film releases etc. The final straw was a breaking news notification about an MP exaggerating on their CV.

Love the App but it's now started playing the BBC News theme at random times, I can't see any way to turn them off in the App short of turning off all App notifications

Give us a choice of landscape when operating on mobile. Allow us to watch videos in landscape and please let us watch portrait videos in portrait rather than reformatting them as landscape by backfilling the dead space and then forcing us to watch the full now landscape video in portrait!

There is some good content but the filters are too broad (eg Asia, not individual countries) and apply equally to your news page selection and to your notifications. I've had to turn off all breaking news notifications because far too many are of no urgent interest to me. Fix this and get another star!
