S - L - O - W! Wake me up when it loads!

I love KHON news.
That said, the latest update has made this app excruciating to use. 1. It takes no less than 2-3 minutes to load past the white screen, then no less than 2-4 minutes to fetch the stories. (I do have fast internet, and all my other apps load very quickly. So its not the ISP.). Then sometimes even longer for a particular story to load.
2. Another major problem is the way the stories eventually display on the screen. The story itself is displayed on only about 1/3 - 1/4 of the screen. The rest is taken up with the apps banners and advertising. This makes it very difficult to read-even on my iPhone 6 Plus.
The story will eventually utilize a larger footprint, (about 60% of the screen), but its not consistent. It will continuously bounce back & forth between the larger screen & the micro screen, until you are too dizzy to continue reading any more. It requires constant scrolling to find your place as the story continues to bounce back and forth.
3. The screen freezes. This happens regularly. You cannot scroll through the story, nor even close the app. The only way to get out of it is to completely turn off the phone.
All of these issues make this a very sorry excuse for an app. Please fix it! This used to be one of my favorite news apps.
The news content is great, if you can get all the way through a story, but the app is now horrible.
