Ratings and reviews

Thank you. Exactly what I was after! Suggested improvement to story count would be an extra sub option to load up to the last story previously downloaded. Also would be nice if the number of stories can be increased from 100 to say 700 as I sometimes miss a week.

Great offline news reading app but sometimes it won't update stories and I can't read the latest news. The errors are usually on the server side and could be easily fixed with better monitoring if the developer was so inclined.

Great app, been using it for a while. Clean interface, I personally only use dark mode. Good filters for comments, you only get to read the funny and insightful ones. Developer is not adding unwanted features for the sake of it, it is just great the way it is.
