I really respect your community care! About the product: Too much of a mixed bag between factual content and sensationalism. When I do find an interesting article the font is Huuuuge, why have an HD AMOLED display, right?.. 😧 Edit 1: I had email contact. New issue is that ■now I am getting (ghost)push notifications from an un-installed "Briefing".■ As a result I had to "update" and disable.

Sorry for the unwanted notification. Sometimes an OS/firmware update can re-enable and require re-disabling. Please contact us at [email protected] for more help.

Update: Not only can I not uninstall this garbage, but now I've received an email indicating that they've had a data breach. Glad to receive the notice but I could have been better protected by BEING ALLOWED TO UNINSTALL IT; so irritating! Original Review: Bloatware I don't want and can't get rid of. it does allow me to turn it off, but it turns itself back on every few weeks. I'd give 0 stars if that were an option.

"less than 1 star" rating based on annoyance. I kept getting random & annoying "ping" alerts from "Briefing", but couldnt figure out what app was causing it. Occasionally woke me up at night (even with 'do not disturb" turned on). Finally figured out it was Flipboard's Briefing. Didnt know it was there, dont want it, can't uninstall. The movie line, "Terminate with extreme prejudice" comes to mind ...
