Lyft ads fail

This was my "go to" app for news but the Lyft ads continue to pop up, even after I close them. Ive tried to uninstall/reinstall the app but it continues to interfere. I dont mind having to sit through a :15 second ad, but when they dont close I cant help but look for my news elsewhere.
