it's a wonderful app. but some updates need to be done to make creators writing experience easier. Also, creators should be able to edit their bio, their names and niche as they might have gained knowledge and discovered that they would do better in another niche.

The content is fine but the ads are hugely intrusive and impossible to click away from. If you try to click away it takes you to google playstore so you can download what is being sold. Too much frustrating wirk just to get to the article. Going to uninstall.

Hi Claudia, we're so sorry for this. I've forwarded this message to our Quality Assurance team. Unlike many of the other big tech companies, we rely on ads to keep our independence and protect your privacy while trying to do so in a way that doesn't mess up your experience. Best, Jide - The Opera Team

Lots of clickbait alerts and questionable news sources. It gets one star for local news being okay. otherwise it's a terrible news app. As a note to the developer, Clickbait isn't necessarily fake, it's written with charged language to drive you to click. The veracity of these articles is suspect. It might be more helpful to be able to exclude charged language. Other news apps seem to have these measures in place. This is the worst news app I have.
