Great app, great stories to keep one informed. I have but one complaint. On my phone, when it switches orientation from portrait to landscape and then back, the text does not resume the landscape orientation, cutting off the text on the far right of the screen. Going out of the article and back in does not fix this minor issue.

Absolutely marvelous ! Accurate reporting but served up with healthy sides of skepticism and humor . Would have rated them higher but I don't want their hands to get too swollen . Good work all around !

The app is perfectly fine, but I'm going to let my subscription expire. The DB occasionally has some great scoops, but this is offset by bad articles: a bizarre fixation on the royal family, consistently poor movie and TV reviews, bonkers product reviews (which have started to incorporate star signs, as if the 1970's had come back to haunt us), and an odd focus on the adult film industry. The overall tone is that of a particularly strident (and poorly edited) college newspaper.

Thought this would be a good source, free source, of news stories that interest, but not...all it is now is ad after ad when you try to read a story and I certainly do not have the money to pay for their services.

The 10/17/24 update basically broke the app. When you open it, it says no network connection. When you click Retry repeatedly, it can't find the network. When you click the offline option the stories are days old. I am a subscriber, but the web version can't figure that out, so I cannot read the latest stories any more. Please fix whatever you broke in the latest app update. I no longer have access to what was one of my favorite sources of news. I am considering cancelling my subscription.
