Pretty great, but with one obnoxious flaw

There are a lot of things to love about this app but this one stupid bug is driving me nuts and I can’t believe it keeps persisting through many updates that supposedly include bug fixes. As I scroll down reading a story, it suddenly jumps down a few paragraphs for no reason and I have to scroll back up to find my place. It happens constantly on Apple News but not on Safari or any other app so I’m sure it’s not my phone.
