Hard to read news. I had no problems till the linked text us red on black. The print is already small and not zoomable now you can get a while paragraphs have to skip over due to multiple links. I like going down to one app but just show the newspaper like he top stories too much sliding and zooming. Maybe boomers like it but let's get it usable Feedback tool is a blank screen so have to leave a review instead. I would like to renew once my trial is up. But at the current state it's not worth $

Constant crashes. This thing was solid for a while but basically the last year it has gotten worse and become unusable. Plus the news has become more and more corporate controlled trash anyways. But still a rip off as I can't even use my sub. Do better plz.

The app has been constantly crashing for the past month or two. Almost unusable. Seriously considering canceling my subscription.
