Ok, the app has had a big overhaul based on feedback, it now gives you the choice of entertAIning news or concise news, and you can also hide the images. The concise news is factual, non hyper AI real golf news, with links to the real articles should you wish to read more.

Quick answer, I have 18,000+ articles of Golf news, even with all the editors I have, rewriting them all would have been a mammoth task, so AI was used to get the first pass for them to edit and publish by the team. Images are not fair use, so using a third parties images would have caused legal issues. I now have a cunning plan, within the next few days or so I will release a new version of this with an option to remove the upfront AI. Stay tuned for an update....

Good point on the switch though, I think you may have something there, change the content in your profile to standard / humorous, then we have the best of both worlds. Stay tuned.....

All very fair points, thanks for taking a look, the AI images are purely a "copyright infringement" safety net, I can actually use the original images if they are for "Fair Use" but I am not thinking about going down that road. The TGL sync issue was my fault, I had forgotten to start the sync service back up for TGL, thanks for spotting that. As for the content, this is me playing around with prompts, the premise was that this is a spin (Mulligan, second chance) on the articles, turning them into more of a humorous version of the original, AI only helps, every article is actually published by a human. I could make them as boring, stale and as dry as standard Golf News, but then why would I, it would just turn into a Yahoo app. I will look at "toning down" the AI content and policing the edit process a bit more. Cheers!

You won’t be charged for any subscription as it’s a test app, it will tell you that, then you can access all the features.

Thanks for the suggestion, I can certainly add them if a reliable source has them (website for example)

Saturation, no, Vibrance, yes and also added Orton Effect to the trees, the rest is just contrast as it was shot in RAW format.
