MARGINAL

Annoying,marginally functioning app!Jerky,gets stuck on a screen etc!

Terrible

This app used to be excellent, but the recent changes have ruined the ease of access to and display if information. The app is no longer useful…the “feedback” tab in settings doesn’t even work

DEC2025 update:
Recent “updates” to this app have only made things worse, if that was possible. Major difficulties loading stories is compounded by the constant ad pop-ups that bump news content…

Terrible

Went from a good app, to whatever this is now.

Just deleted the app - poor readability

Have used this app for a few years but the latest update made it very hard to easily read headlines to select the stories I wanted to read. The largest printed info is how long ago the news item was released - the headline is much smaller, and the photo of the story is too small to easily see what the story is about. Not sure if this is due to the size of font that I have set on my phone/the app but it worked far better before. I have deleted the app.

New update is horrible

Before the update you would not get repeats of the same article. Now the same article from 5 days ago is in 4 places on the main page
