Amazing!

Overall, I LOVE Deseret News! And I am a Wiccan. Though I would like a search function in the app, especially for when I click on a notification but the app or my data connection glitches and it is nearly impossible to find that exact article again. The fact I do not have to pay for such exemplary reporting is really the shining jewel of this service. Thank you!
