EDIT AGAIN. Over a month later and I still can't get any notification coming through for breaking news. EDIT. Now I can't get notifications at all despite uninstalling and reinstalling the app. The familiar sky news sound doesn't come through and alert me now. It's just vibrate. I've tried everything but can't seem to get the sound back.

This used to be such a great news app and my primary source for keeping abreast of current affairs. However it seems more recently that it is becoming increasingly riddled with lengthy ads. Watching the news the ads seem to play out repeatedly between reels making the viewing process lengthy and annoying. It never used to be this way and I'm now using the app less and more frequently migrating back to BBC news. Good news coverage but the balance between news and ads needs to be much improved.

Constantly telling me when I try to open the app that I have no Internet connection when in fact I do have 1 which works fine for any other app/website access. Reinstalling, cache clearing, or force stoping doesn't fix the issue and others are having the same problem. The strange thing is that when this happens, the live section will load and work but nothing else so no top stories, videos, ect. Does same thing on data. Your CANNED email suggestion reply was useless, tips don't work.
