Ratings and Reviews
Great content, great form
Always keeping the thumb on the pulse of time. Super valid content. Although the English is maybe too advanced for foreigners.
Quality content dragged down by technical issues
Probably the best news source of its type (very data driven and relatively low on opinion bias), but the app really needs some performance improvements. There is a big delay when clicking elements (sometimes you just have to tap four times for something to happen). The app itself freezes or outright crashes rather often (far more than any other app I have installed). Not to mention the saved articles feature, which doesn’t sync with the website (due to being in beta version for just about eternity).
New update
Since the new update building a queue is impossible as the option has been removed for some unknown reason. Instead you have to individually add each track to your queue. This is a really bothersome and time consuming process. Additionally, the option to click on and access artincles on the player has also been removed, which is a feature I definitely miss and would like for it to return.
