I'd happily pay monthly for an ad-free, better functioning app. Al Jazeera is one of my favorite news sources. Unfortunately, the reading experience in app is marred with bad functionality, intrusive ads, and clunky text. This frustration is what keeps me from being a daily reader. On the positive side, the ability to tune in to live video is awesome.

Great news source, widest breadth of reporting of any international news organization, often a bit MB-aligned but generally neutral. App however has several problems. News stories interface is clunky & doesn't scroll from one story to the next (The BBC app is a good example of how this should work), & the "Watch" function for live broadcasts is terrible, does not seamlessly change from split screen to full screen, is endlessly buffering and just stops after 15 mins & not moving to next segment.

2 more issues: 1) Your ads are disruptive because they cause the info to move resulting in my finger touching the wrong spot and forcing me through more steps to do what I had originally intended. 2) Once I've saved an article I have to scroll from the top (beginning) all the way down to where I left off to continue. This very annoying! Your competition is doing much better! Please improve very soon!
