Great for reading, looking forward to more features

The reading experience in this app is very nice and there are no ads, which is awesome.

Just waiting for the ability to reply to and share specific threads.

Janky and unreliable

The app works well about 50% of the time, the rest is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. Full of UX bugs and terrible network handling.

How do you Search in this app?
