Customize Your News Feed
Inevitably, with an app like this one, there will be plenty of news sources that you don't want crowding up the news feed. The developers have given this consideration and consequently added a feature that gives users the ability to delete the sources they don't want to see.

Although there are no ads on the app itself, you are generally redirected to the source website when you want to read an article, so ads will be displayed then, and these can get particularly annoying on entertainment websites. The ads are the only downside of the app but I suppose the developers can't really do anything about that short of re-hauling the entire concept of the app.
