Ratings and reviews

From the top stories screen, when you click on an article it says I have to sign in. I click sign in and it says you are already signed in as ____ blank. Click sign out and nothing happens. Endless loop and can't even read any of the top stories even though I'm signed in. Extremely annoying. Edit 10/29/24: After months of not being able to fully use the app, suddenly this morning it gives me a sign in screen that actually works. I can now access the top stories.

Great news but horrible app. If the app loads properly than I fight with my subscription. It will say activated in account settings but constantly nag that it's not when using the app. I can fix it by going to settings each time. Ads still seem to float around because of this and it's beyond frustrating. Why not make a PWA app of the website and call it a day? I'm not sure if I can justify paying for this app if this isn't fixed soon.

Won't let me log into my existing account or create a new account. I already pay for the subscription and just wanted the app but this is sad
