Can you remove/block sources and topics yet without leaving big blank squares on the main page?

As someone with zero interest in sports, it would sure be nice if we can finally remove that sports tab at the bottom.

Edit: Doesn’t appear to be a way to switch it out or remove it. I would have loved to replace it with either Food or Puzzles. I anticipate using the new recipe section a lot.

Why not just break Recipes out to its own app? It seems a bit odd to merge news and recipes together... "breaking news: a city-killer asteroid has an 11.7% chance of striking Earth next month... and here's a recipe to some delicious, quick & easy snacks to enjoy while watching the fiery show." ;)

Curated content is fine and all but this seems like it should be its own app to me. Else, why don't we just fold Music & podcasts into this too... maybe movie trailers... tax prep software... todo lists... etc.

That alone drove me off the app. Annoying as heck.

This needs an iOS release? Seriously Apple? It’s just an app.
