It is a act of genius to change a "news" app to have "groceries" button displayed left, right and center instead of showing some "news".
I think they should add an "laundry" button. Maybe even a "garbage sorting" button so we have to a place to put this Groceries app, sorry news app.
PS: I have been using this news app on a daily basic since it was called "MSN News Beta" some many years (> 10?) ago. When I first saw the redesign with the Grocery link, my first thought was "they got a new product manager that wants to fix something that wasn't broken". Because of the grocery link I have now stopped using it, at that "feature" really really annoys me.
Just display some freaking news for crying out loud and leave the grocery shopping to another apps.
[1] What the IOS news app look like the first 10 seconds after launch. It has always displayed news at start up. Now you can do your groceries instead. https://imgur.com/a/XYvYq88
No way...this is absolutely insane. If you are on a Mac, go to MicrosoftStart.com on Safari. (Safari on iOS is an equally laughable result)
They gave MSN a fresh coat of paint and broke it for half their potential audience. Truly an astounding feat of engineering. I'm crying thinking of the engineers and PMs who probably got promoted after this announcement.
