"March 29, 2023. Same problems again. Why does this continue to happen? Can`t open new articles. Able to read a few stories then it slows down. I have to exit the app and wait awhile and at times have to restart my phone to read the news. I cleared my history and cache, same problem. It seems you might have fixed this problem by now. I`ve read several reviews, all report the same problem. I`m ready to give up and find my news else where. Again half the stories are missing."

"What started as a genuine opportunity to provide content & viable entertainment/information to the masses is now a mess. This app is now just another commercial disguised as information. Another app I recommended to others that I sadly regret. It`s pinnacle was 3 years ago. If you are reading this now, don`t download it, wait for its eventual replacement. We all know the cycle: 1) good app, 2) app gets bought by big biz. , 3) app gets greedy, 5) New app emerges. 6) Rinse & Repeat."
