Ratings and reviews

Loved the app before with adverts. However now asking for 10 euros a month for something I look at for less than 10 minutes in a week. Just deleted it. Asking to much money. I don't think it's a great idea to put it on same price plan as Netflix, Spotify, etc... best of luck to them. There is plenty of news source out there that have no payment wall.

Please change app layout back. Not sure you where listening to your readers on this UX design. It's either endless scrolling or multiple clicks to find an articles. Both are UX no no's. The old app had each section, same way as newspaper. So could tell if I was reading an opinion and business piece. I need to scroll through everything to find anything to read. Where b4 I just read sections I wanted. I probably will stop paying the premium and go else where.

I have this app for a number of years mostly unusable. As I cannot get access most of the time with errors. It says it doesnt recognise my emal account
