GUI very bad

The user interface is really weak.
Also, why does the web based version insist on enabling all cookies? Arrogant!

Doesn’t update

I’m still looking at news from 3 days ago…. No update or hourly changes

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to voice your frustration. We acknowledge the past issues and have been hard at work over the past few months and happy to announce that we've finally launched our brand new version which will allow you to see updated news more frequently. We'd love for you to have a look at the new App and let us know what you think when you have the time.

Not updating

The app is not updating to show the latest news. News articles are many days old

App no longer updates

The app no longer updates. Stuck on content from 4 days ago. Even tried uninstalling and re-installing with same result so app is pretty much useless at this stage.

No notification

I don’t get any breaking news notifications anymore. I’ve checked in my settings and there are no issues.

Audio Clips

Your clips has not been updated since 30 September

No search bar

How do you create this app with no search bar. Was looking for a specific story and couldn’t find it

Font size can’t be adjusted?

It seems such an obvious setting - make font bigger. Please make it possible to adjust the font size

It’s Average can do much better

App is useful but the interface is very cluttered.
Layout needs to change to make it more intuitive.
Add dark mode & Apple Watch support. Especially dark mode ..
allow users to selected notifications specific to categories eg sports vs business etc

Absolutely Poor App.

Used to be a great app, now the bottom of the barrel, can’t access the comments section and interact with other individuals, whereby previously you could interact over various subjects.

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it....
