Inaccurate Reporting

Many of the articles are anti US.

One flaw

Good in most respects, but really annoying that it flips back to the top of the list of headlines when you go back to the home page after reading an article. It should take you back to the headlines at the position you were when you clicked on the article so that you can continue browsing from where you were, like all other news apps that I use, instead of having to search all the way down from the top of the home page to find where you were in your browsing.
Would be nice to have a fix for that.

Dreadful

I renewed my subscription and paid but some reason every time I opened the App, it told me to subscribe. When I clicked subscribe it told me I was already subscribed. The support was completely useless. I have abandoned all attempts to try and resolve this.

Great app but…

Love app, but please develop a dark mode for night time readers.

Font is too small. Lots of frustration

The new version is terrible. The font is too small. All the whitespace on the side in landscape and portrait is wasted and the article font is too small to read for older readers. Why change it? Secondly every time an article is read and closed the app jumps back to the top - surely we the user wants to remain at the same spot in the scrolling where the article was opened - this is a terrible experience. Lastly why do you repeat main articles as you scroll down the articles. This is very frustrating and feels like you have underestimated the intelligence of the users. I am close to cancelling my subscription - I don’t want to scroll down and see the same stuff over and over again.
