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.

The app is mostly fine but has one but that is just unacceptable: I get the briefing email (The 7). Sometimes clicking the links attempts to launch the Samsung Internet Browser instead of the system default one (Brave). It used to try to launch Chrome belt I uninstalled it. It seems that they are trying to actively avoid using Brave, which again, is the system default. Totally unacceptable.

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.
