The last update brought back the issue of articles reloading in the middle of reading, causing the whole page to reload. Would love the option of a paid version with no Ads.

This app shows an awesome number of publishers and current articles about a lot of topics. I see people having an issue I used to have also, opening an article but it won't load, leaving you hanging with just a blank page. When that happened I would go to my tablet settings and bring up the SmartNews app, go into storage and clear the cache. This usually solved the issue, but it rarely happens now.

Good news app. I enjoy reading from this app--the various topics. However, sometimes, I've selected a specific story to read, but the updated articles pop up. This is so annoying!
