Ratings and reviews

The app is clean & easy to navigate. One desired feature? You can select "channels," newsletters of interest, but they appear alphabetically. I'd appreciate the ability to sort the channels by desire so that the most important channels to me appear at that top of the Fed rather than having to scroll down to find those that begin with S, for example, near the bottom.

The content is good, and I love the presentation, but the app itself is not very well made, and the UX (user experience) is frustrating. Pull-to-refresh doesn't work, at times the back button doesn't work, you can sign in but not sign up, and it's a whopping 27 megabytes in size despite having almost no graphical assets that I can see. Axios has great content, but they need better developers.

Great news source, not much bias, some articles are meant to alarm people, but they're few and far between. Advertising is sketchy. Too many ads for Google (propaganda ads against anti-trust laws), sometimes overboard with Amazon ads. But, most articles are good information. I like that you can see how long, and how many words are in each article. I like the "go deeper" option. Once in awhile, while slowly scrolling, the app hiccups you, to the ad at the end of a paragraph/article.
