Ratings and Reviews
Minor bug
The time is still for no reason written in Russian, for example 4 час. It’s not a big problem for me since I have basic Russian skills, but it’s still weird and should be annoying to others.
Awful update
Latest layout update is awful. Now you are forced to read what they think you should. old version was way better, shame… Have deleted and installed ITV news
No customized news
This is so far worst update. I am forces to see news that has no relevance or of interest to me. Doesnot seems to be possible to search news based on topics as well. Just forces to see what news organisation thinks we should be seeing.
