Gone user-unfriendly.
The new version is more difficult to browse. Instead of swiping left to go back, you now have to reach for the ‘back' button or cross symbol at the top corners.

It's super annoying that you can't save news stories into your own folders for easy access. The app is slow due to it downloading so much information at once. The stories themselves are pretty good. Not biased, which is absolutely vital in reporting if you ask me. The more biased a story is, the more dangerous it can be. The stories are also in depth, and they get the stories out relatively quickly (not normally first, because they verify before posting) and accurate

"The latest from your follows"! This app is trying desperately to be some sort of social media app, obviously targeting a younger demographic. However, the result is unusable. All I see is the news you think I want to see rather than the news I actually want to see. I end up just closing it and opening Sky! Put some sort of structure back!

Same story endlessly repeated down the news feed. Usually a Taylor Swift article.

The recent addition of the ability to swipe between news articles whilst reading is incredibly frustrating. It's far too sensitive. If you try to scroll up or down and you have just a slight angle on your swipe, you flip over to a different article. Please give the option to remove this feature or at least make it require a very definite sidewards swipe.

Couldn't give it zero stars sadly. The app kept taking an age to load articles if at all despite a fast Internet speed and clearing cache and data. Then when I tried to log back in it told me the password I had used for ages was wrong. So I request a password change and put in the same password and it tells me that is my old password and can't use it again 🤯. So I choose something different which it accepts and no I can't login at all. What a complete and utter pile of garbage.

Navigation Is Difficult
There is no support for gestures to navigate, so to go back from an article to the previous page requires you to reach up and tap the back icon in the top left corner. Please support swiping from the left side of the screen, it would be so much easier to navigate that way.

I can no longer use the app following latest update. It asks me to sign in and then just takes me back to the sign in page. I can only receive news alerts but not view the stories.
