I really do love it!!! But when I use the block ad things the ads keep on coming. Idk if I'm doing it wrong or it's the app.

The new UI after the latest update is terrible. Visually displeasing and impractical. Why do developers feel the need to change things that work? UI designers are supposed to ask the actual users for their feedback *before* changing things.
