Ratings and reviews

I used to really enjoy this app, but unfortunately, it has changed too much. You can not even disagree with a comment anymore since the thumbs down icon was removed, and now the comments section is closed for most articles. I rarely use this news app now.

Don't bother downloading!! This was the only news app I used to have on my phone. But last year it just started becoming a hassle, you couldn't post a comment as it kept crashing. When you just want to read the news and leave a comment, you want ease, but this just makes you angry and it's not fit for purpose. Needs a major update where everything works. Who knows what the sites testers are doing as if we're able to make it crash in less thank 60 seconds, are they even testing it?

New format update is visually painful to try to read. I check your app more than once daily but that will have to stop immediately as I just cannot tolerate the new design. Previous design was clear, each story visually separated from the next, no wasted space and a perfectly fine font. Now a sea of white with random blobs of small text with attention pulled only to the hashtag and not the headline.
