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).

App has become super laggy

In the last few months the app has become super laggy to the point of being unusable; all of my other news apps operate smoothly. I also find that it will shut down unexpectedly when it’s otherwise not being insufferable. Pls look into this asap
