App works well and is a good primary source for news.
Great app
DabAppReview
Love keeping up with international news, but I can’t stand the fact that if you leave the app it doesn’t start back where you left off. Also, on the iPad, the first highlighted article at the top of the list is never pressable. This is usually the story I want to read as it’s the most pressing. Please change this functionality and I’m happy to change the rating to 5 stars.
