### 1/5 — The app opens with a blank screen

*2025-09-24, version 1.0.1*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-11-16, version 1.0.1*

Was so looking forward to this. On iPhone 12 Pro Max the app does not even open.

### 1/5 — App won’t even start up on my phone

*2022-08-23, version 1.0.1*

I am yet to see what the app even looks like… every time I open the app, a white screen pops up and that’s it. No content, nothing. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app multiple times, but nothing has helped. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2022-05-23, version 1.0.1*

App no longer works on IOS 15. News is average. Bias like everywhere else.

### 1/5 — The app keeps on crashing and never updates

*2021-11-02, version 1.0.1*

Been using this app on IOS 14 on an iPhone 11 pro, but it continually crashes whenever I exit out of an article. Even when opening the app; the screen is white with no signs of any article showing being displayed. When the articles does miraculously load, all news items are shown from the 4 months ago… Really disappointed with this app.
