Ratings and reviews

I love the app. They are always adding new features that are pretty neat. However, sometimes they are A few kinks in the use experience. For example, sometimes if you highlight a piece of text, but you don't want to copy it or restack it, you cannot escape the highlight until you copy or restack it. I find this a little annoying. The app also crashes sometimes if you're on it for too long. But other than that, it's a pretty nice idea.

Substandard experience compared to viewing in a browser or email. You can't pinch zoom to increase the size of text or images in posts; graphics which would I could expand to be readable in a browser are completely illegible in the app. I'm using the app because I was forced to: several authors I subscribe to have begun sending "free" posts which come with an email preview, but in order to see the entire post I have to use the app.

The world's in dire need of independent, unbiased, decimination of news. This app has the potential to be a game changer. However, they have a lot of work to do. Nothing is intuitive. it's difficult to sort publications or save articles in lists. I've deleted it several times for the email/push notifications, alone. After learning a workaround, I've finally gotten that in check. Most importantly, there is a wealth of great content. Please make it easier to agrigate this wonderful content.
