Ratings and reviews

Display is terrible. It doesn't adjust to screen size properly. They display as a little column of words down the middle, with both left and right margins far wider than the column of words. Such a waste of space, and the need to scroll. ALL the dozen or so other news apps I have, along with the main screen of this one display properly. Downgraded to one star because issue wasn't resolved and case closed. So what if my phone doesn't receive Android updates? It still gets daily app updates.

Articles, reporting, and opinions are always on point and truthful, not politically motivated. News stories are always based on fact, not on speculation or misinformation. And always updated frequently and current. I agree, though, with past reviews that the multiple ads are excessive and unnecessary, especially if I and other subscribers are paying to read the news articles.

The journalism is exceptional. if only one did not have to listen to opinion pieces to be able to listen to fact based reporting. I like having the ability to listen to the first story snd continue on to other stories for which I'd rate a 5, but the editorials don't even deserve a 1. I wi1sh I could turn them off.
