Ratings and reviews

The news part is fine. My issue is the account stuff. My phone screen does not allow me to get to where the account setup, permissions, etc. can be completed. The buttons are always obscured by the bottom of the screen. The page cannot be manipulated, turned, pinched, pulled, whatsoever to allow me to actually see to even attempt to agree or disagree to anything. Any agreement should be completely readable in order to be accepted. Web view same as app view.

I have been really, really patient with this app, but I've reached my breaking point. Let me just sat that I love Politico and I love their articles. However, the app is, frankly, garbage. For months, I have been hoping that the Politico alert system would be fixed, but it has stayed the same. Every time I get a news alert, it appears on my phone as a black bar with none of the words generating. When I open up the alert, it often doesn't even have the alert and says it's not available. Avoid!

It stops working. I call and write to Politico and never get a response. Went back to Huffington post app. Update. The app is still a problem. Articles don't always load. You often have to open previous articles to open the article you want to read. The program also prevents my phone from going into sleep mode. I've had this app on a Samsung 7 and OnePlus. Both phones would not go into sleep mode automatically. If the politico app is removed, then sleep mode works
