### 3/5 — Wish this could be fixed

*2025-06-03*

The content, reporting and opinion are excellent, but the app has one glaring annoyance, and that is if you leave the app momentarily in the middle of reading an article, and then go back to the app, you aren’t taken back to where you were reading. Instead the entire app refreshes and takes you back to the top of the home page which means having to scroll down again through dozens of articles trying to find the one you were busy reading originally. This defect makes for a very poor reader experience.
