Annoying Ads and News Clips

Ive been enjoying this app daily for a long time up until the most recent update. I cannot stand these auto play ads and videos that you cannot mute. It even overrides the silence switch on your phone. Before, if I wanted to watch the video, Id hit play and now I have no choice but to listen to an ad without the power of stopping it. Attempting to stop it takes you to the ads website. Very annoying. Im deleting this app.
