Best of All App: Vital Information you must read and not skip

I was impatient to carry out necessary research but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 75,700 USD worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 214,575 USD within a couple of weeks. But I didn't realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptography funds with the help of So I filed a report on MarianDiana41 (at) Gmail and he was able to help me get back all my lost funds withing 2 weeks I feel indebted to him. Apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium, I will recommend anybody who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary options forex, investment and any other form of online scam to reach out to MarianDiana41 (at)gmail

Audio capabilities (possible enhancements)

I really enjoy the ability to listen to news while I’m doing other tasks that don’t require much concentration. I do wish you had a way to automatically run through each of major stories automatically just as they are written. Not a brief overview but complete articles one after another. Your reporting is accurate, well written and your columnists are excellent. I really enjoy subscription. The comment section is fun as well. No complaints other than what I said above.

This was my comment 6 to 8 months ago. And now I have it the way I asked. I read and listen to WP virtually every day. NYT has an audio app that is so cumbersome as to make it unusable for me. They bought Audm which was a superior audio app that allowed me to listen to articles from major magazines and also read them if I wanted to better understand something or read and listen together. Since they bought Audm, it’s impossible to listen to and lacks the coverage of Audm. I can now listen to WP to my heart’s content and can read any article that I want, with or without audio. Such a great addition to your newspaper! Now I have no complaints, only praise.

Problems with comment section and formatting

My biggest complaint with this app is the confusing way commenting works. If you want to see a reply to a comment that is very far down a chain, you go to a shortened version of the chain. This is fine, but if you try to go back, it takes you to the top of the entire comment section. If you want to look at your own comments, you have to open another article’s comment section, hit my profile, then tap your comment…which opens another article that you have to scroll back down to the comment section, hit my profile, then your comment and THEN you can see your comment. It won’t just take you directly to your comment from a profile page or something like any other app. You also can’t delete your own comments, which seems like a bad choice on a news app. I also have an issue where it logs me out whenever I open the app, but opening and closing the comment section fixes it.

Outside of the comment section, many of the longer read articles aren’t formatted properly for the app. I just saw an article that had important information showing up as white text on a white background for example.
The search function is also pretty useless. Trying to search by keyword will give you stuff from months ago instead of recent articles. Finally, the ads really need better screening. It’s all “5 Quick Tips to Reverse Aging” type clickbait with nasty pictures.
