    Hard to pin down, but all of my other devices do not have issues with this website, but my new iPad has major issues with it. Smart news locks up, freezes and does everything else than function normally. Maybe my issue with settings, but have not been able to figure it out.

    Newsmax is truthful. Try switching channels to Newsmax.

    Super clunky due to the tons of ads that are associated to every story. These ads eventually freeze up the app. Did not used to be this way, but basically unreadable at this point.

    THIS APP IS LITTERED WITH REPETITIVELY ANNOYING ADS. THERE ARE MORE ADS THAN DECENT CONTENT. PATHETIC.

    It freezes and you can’t open articles and read them, other articles you need to register just to read them.
