Great News Summary
The app is easy to navigate and I appreciate that the news is quickly summed up and provides scholarly sources so that I know it’s all fact-checked news!
Please fix swipe to go back
Really like this app, but please bring back the ability to swipe back from and article to the main feed. Now, whenever I read an article I am taken back to the top of the feed, even if I was previously somewhere down the bottom of the feed.

Now with Full screen video ads that keep re-opening??
I’ve been a big fan of this since I heard Max talking about it on a physics podcast. It is my only news app. I love its controllability, and neutral nature. I’m a huge fan of Max Tegmark. However, as of fairly recently the “full screen” pop-up video ads are making it very hard to stick with! The problem is the ads continue to come back (full screen) after you close them and scroll. It’s practically impossible to read articles due to this. I know it’s free and I’ve always been willing to deal with ads due to that, but you close these full screen pop-up video ads and they come right back after another “scroll” I first noticed it with “Daily wire” so, I removed Daily Wire from preferences” (which is a great ability to have!) But, it seems most the other news sites are having the same full screen, re-occurring video ads as well. This is the first time in my life I’ve felt bad about giving a “low star review” because I believe in Max Tegmark and this endeavor. However, it has been frustrating. The developer response has been fantastic for this app so, I give 2 stars just so this gets read. I will change it right back to 5 if I learn that this must be a problem with my phone or otherwise remedied.
