Ads are so bad, let me start by saying I love opera, use the browser on PC for years. Saw this app yesterday, installed and love the look. However, everything you click on, gives you a partial read of the article, AS SOON as you click to see the remainder, an ad comes on. I have to say, this is so infuriating that I lasted only 1 day of use. Going back to Google news.

Overall it's good, I stay up to date with current affairs by just looking at my notifications. The problem is that there's is no a history section where you can check articles you've read already. Please do add one, cause there are times when you need to go back to a certain article to check for something but it can't be found

I took time to study this news app, and I must say that it is good. The annoying thing is I signed up to publish articles, read all the guidelines but yet, all my articles are rejected as containing junk sentences. You begin to wonder what constitutes junk sentences when I've done professional editing of my articles. This is bad, after spending a lot of time writing and editing, you get same rejection notification.

5. News content lacking sourcing from credible platforms. 6. Articles that seem strange and unrealistic. Please feel free to reach out through the feedback channel with your wemedia location, and screenshots of the articles in question, in case you need further clarification. Regards, The Opera Team
