### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-28*

It doesn’t even load. It’s stuck on a white screen. Even after fully restarting my iPhone

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2021-10-04*

Very quick and informational

### 5/5 — Great way to understand what’s going on

*2021-09-15*

I’ll admit that I’m definitely not as up to date on current events as I should be, but this app has helped with that A LOT. Each of the articles are condensed versions of the major new stories you see from a lot of the big publishers (AP, NY Times, etc.) so you get the most important info you need without slugging through long paragraphs. Would definitely like to see more articles be pushed out daily but this has been super helpful so far!
