Ratings and reviews

The recently updated app appears to be a big improvement on its predecessor. However there is no apparent way to return to the sub-menu you were browsing, without going into main menu. If I use the back button on the phone it kicks me out, this for me is a problem which needs correcting. Also my saved articles are missing

Terrible. If you lock the screen while reading an article, you cannot scroll, you have to exit the article and go back in. Happens every time. Update 28/11: with the new update, the app is still as useless as the last version. Try going into a news article, then press the back button - it immediately closes the app. Does anyone test these apps! Edit 13/04/2021: garbage. App still not user friendly. Try opening a news article with a graph, you can't scroll by the graph. Uninstalled.

The latest update has some serious issues. I've been using this app daily for years and I've had to uninstall it. - pressing back from a story closes the app instead of just going back to the previous menu. - but worst of all it just locked up my phone completely, I've never seen an app do that before. No buttons on the phone would work and I couldn't even restart the phone normally. Had to hard restart it!
