Version 5.0 - needs work.

Tl;Dr: ideally you should wait to update the app so they can iron out the flaws, but the IT refuse to allow news updates on the old version so you’ve no choice.

I was a big fan of the old app, especially given how lightweight it was to use on the go and how all articles could be loaded with a single refresh and then read offline at a later date.
The new app seems to have gotten rid of this, however. It now crashes whenever it’s launched offline. Articles take quite a few second to load rather than it all being done in advance like the previous versions.
I also find myself missing the “swipe for next article” feature rather than having to exit and go to the next article, which is clunky, unintuitive, and time consuming.
The ability to manually reorder or remove the category headings at the top of the page would also be welcome (bring back latest!).

All in all it seems like the app is still a bit unfinished and was wheeled out without much audience beta testing. Hopefully future versions will address this but until then I keep my review at 2 stars.

Abysmal

I’ve been locked out of my account several times this year. Currently I’ve been locked out since July (two months ago) Despite numerous emails back and forth to customer support the issue hadn’t been resolved. This, despite having set up Face ID (which is accepted) and saving my password. Unbelievably frustrating!

Terrible app

Navigation is non-standard , and just a dreadful design. And the app is constantly logging me out. The login screen just freezes one time in three or so. Just a really bad, amateur piece of work.
