This app is great for news, like the layout and news/information it provides, so why one star? Simple, the notifications!! So annoying, doesn't matter what setting I have the notifications set to, I get bombarded with news notifications. Just way too many. I've set it to standard, to low and I've even turn off notifications in the app and still get them!! Please sort it

We appreciate your kind words about the app's layout and content! It sounds like the notification settings aren't working as they should, which can be quite overwhelming. Thank you for sharing this feedback; we’ve escalated your concerns internally. Your experience matters to us! The Opera Team

I was looking for something better than Google news and thought I found it. Sadly, I did not. I really liked where this was going with the layout and trending news items etc, but the ads were SO overwhelming it undermines most positives about the app. I've only had the app for less than 10 minutes and 5 tiktok ads have popped up forcing me to wait to exit. Who is giving all these great reviews?? So people like intrusive gaming and TT ads? Baffling and questionable. Nope! it's a no from me!

Decent. Good content and better than Googles version especially since they are moving aggressively into AI generated news stories. However, the ads in this app are very annoying especially since it's audible. I would prefer a pay version (though definitely not subscription based). It's unlikely that I will stick with this in its current form.
