Ratings and Reviews
New format not user friendly
The new format does not allow you to advance to the next story without first returning to the “main” screen, requires too much scrolling, and opens stories when you’re just trying to scroll (like if you tap just wrong you open a story instead of advancing the scroll...So. Frustrating.). Also, the left/right arrows at the bottom of every story don’t usually go left or right (back/forth?) - why are they even there? Maybe make them appear only if they lead somewhere.
Bottom line, I think the app’s previous format was WAY better and easier to navigate.
Update is a couple steps backwards
The update does not improve how you can read news stories. The text now does not even entirely fit on my screen. When you finish an article and go back to the main news page, it goes right back to the top of the feed, then you have to scroll down to here you left off....scroll, scroll, scroll. This is really disappointing. Not sure if I will keep reading on this.
New app not easy to navigate
MPR News content is fantastic, but this new app is not improved. Most of the time I open, the screen is blank and I need to navigate to home to refresh the app to see any articles. Lightly scrolling down often results in accidentally opening an article. You cannot navigate from one article to the next. Weather has very little info.
