Ratings and reviews

Where's the DARK THEME??? Doesn't feel as intuitive as the old in many ways especially on the LOCAL content front. Lack of weather is a bummer too. Definitely prefer the menus / settings of old as it gives quicker access and more user control IMHO. The good, content does appear to load faster. So from my perspective, some done but much more to do before it's there.

Great app. Has all the main sources, plus tonnes of others. I do wish we could have a keyword blocker. Where it won't populate the app with articles contains those keywords. For instance entering in "Kardashian" saves the reader from all the mindless dribble associated with that name. Or "star wars" and "rumours" keeps you in the dark about all hearsay about the new movies.

It's very good, but the 'learning' aspect of the algorithm doesn't seem to have improved at all over the last 4 years. And I'd be ok with that if they gave more options for specifying why you didn't want something in your feed. But instead your feedback is limited to either blocking articles from the site or thumbs up/down. It would be helpful to specify what aspect contributed. It will also will also occasionally keep the same article in your feed for multiple days after having read it.
