You now need a paid subscription to access the news within the app. The news is really concise which is fun when it's free, but when it's not free, you don't feel like you're getting bang for your buck. I've deleted the app.
Ps. The right-wing bias never did improve.
Original review:
This could be a 5 star app, but two things hold it back:
1. It doesn't update every day. It's 12th December today, but the latest 'daily' news is from the 10th.
2. It's got a bit of a right-wing bias. Almost all of the opinion pieces are pulled from right-wing commentators.

Turned Right Wing
I used to love this app with its concise review of current affairs. A really great format with interesting snippets. However, these days the articles are heavily influenced by the authors political views and cited publications which are most often of a right-wing persuasion. This has undoubtedly impacted how the facts and articles are presented and received. Less opinions, more facts please. *uninstalled*

Good concept - flawed by it’s very biased reporting
Bite sized news - what’s not to like?
The fact that the articles come almost exclusively from the Daily Heil, Torygraph and other assorted right wing publications is what.
I’ve been trying to use it as my “counter point” news, as I really do like the format and want to try see things from the other side.
However, it’s become so unrelenting in its cherry picking of right wing opinion pieces (see British is the Envy of the Third World for details) rather than actual news or reporting that it’s started to read like a cheap printed propaganda leaflet.

Used to be good
This used to be a a great app full of small insights. However something had changed in the past few months. It now struggles to update and seams to show the same stories multiple times. It also seams to have become more click bate than anything else
