Very well done app. The only negatives are that sometimes the words have spaces in between letters which isnt usually a big deal, and the rotate-screen feature is always on despite turning it off on my phone settings so I cant lay in bed and avoid responsibilities and read the news without the screen going sideways.
See the full newspaper page, and zoom in on the articles you want to read more of. Best approach to a news app I've found. Also not personalized "news", so you avoid the echo chamber. The app has small flaws, like snapping to grid that's annoying and sometimes tapping the links is hard.
App has been improved a great deal. However, there are still couple of improvements that would make it lot better. -Cannot zoom into a story/picture/comic? So makes it hard to read small text inside a picture or puzzle, e.g., Word Jumble. - lots of items do not open individually when I click on them. Forced to zoom into the page.
Unreliable app, poor performance when it works. I typically need to force-stop the app and clear its cache to get the paper to display. Sometimes that doesn't work. Load times are slow ... can take minutes for the first article to appear. When viewing in article-by-article mode rather than page mode, articles are often displayed multiple times.
This new "design" is difficult to use. The black ribbon that allows for many feature choices is not visible. The help section is useless. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app which did not help. The same issues exist for my android and iPhone. I will reach out to the company next. Do they even have an IT dept or a live assist?
