Ratings and reviews

Watson News is a great platform providing journalistically well written articels and commentaries. I use it every day. Nevertheless I have to rate the app to one star in hope there will be changes, because the app itself doesn't provide anything more than the website (offline/dark mode). Even worse, it has many technical failures. Crashes from time to time, logging out repeatedly, doesn't forward to the commentaries written, you have to agree to the terms of condition repeatedly and so forth..

I have to lower my initial 5 stars to a 3 star score - I don't get why this online news organisation with its young, tech savy staff doesn't seem to care that its android app is still just a container for the website. Changing the size of the font? Nope. Dark Mode? No. Personalizing your start screen, maybe with drag and drop? A nice chat view? Nope. A fast and responsible interface for our phablet sized phones? No. Push service? Yes, but you may get all notifications at once. Underwhelming.

Recently lots of crashes. Still only a Container for the Website. No Darkmode, no offline reading, no font size adjustment. A lot of Ad trackers...
