New layout bad

The old app was much better in that you could quickly see the list of articles & choose which you wanted to read. Now too much scrolling needed to see headlines.👎🏻

Not for iPad

The content is good. The app is made for the iPad, but for some reason the developers made it work only in portrait mode. That makes it unusable.
