Ratings and reviews

Excellent app. Clear font for reading, quick loading, not too many ads, news and other content updated constantly. Movement through the newspaper is intuitive. I really like the night mode (black screen, white letters): I use it always. Would like a 'most popular' column, like the NYT. In sum, a great way to read the paper.

Decent app. But one shortcoming bugs me. When scrolling the Top Stories, and when I find one that interests me in the list, I select it to read the story in full. When finished, the app does not bring me back to where I left off. instead, it brings me back to the top of the Top Stories page, forcing me to scroll back down to where I left off. This seems like a pretty glaring and obvious shortcoming that I'm surprised hasn't been addressed.

The night mode issue is fixed. However, the most recent update appears to have broken the app's ability to remember how far down you have scrolled before you click on an article to read it. Now when you close the article it takes you to the very top again. Which means you then have to scroll all the way back down. --- Please stop with the constant "Would you like to enable Night Mode" pop-ups. Once this is fixed, I'll change my rating.
