Ratings and Reviews
Very reliable
Love the 8 videos changed almost daily
Beyond reason
Sad that you dismantled a perfectly working and top-usability app to back several years. Totally, incomprehensible. The great features you removed in this process, as well as standard iOS functionalities you rolled back on (e.g., slide back from article – you cannot do that anymore, in 2024!), defies reason. Content gets my five stars, the app zilch.
News not automatically refreshing
I recently updated and now I have to force close the app to get it to refresh. Five stars for the old version but the update is very poor. There also seems to be less news stories presented on the front page. Please fix!
