Lag AF

### 4/5 — Dark theme display option

*2022-06-01, version 4.1.4*

Please have that option on, the rest of MediaCorp apps like CNA and Today all have that option.  It more comfortable reading in not so bright environment or dim lights in bedroom.

*2022-05-11, version 4.1.3*

Cannot open the app at all. Keep saying the device is jail broken and must restore the phone before it can use the app when my phone is not. Please rectified the problem
