Ratings and reviews

Everything works, but barely. My search function is entirely in Japanese and I can't tap on any articles in the "top news" section (the name of which I had to Google translate from a screenshot). The sign-in process is often buggy, having already had to reinstall and re sign-in about three times now. There was also no onboarding process whatsoever, and combined these things make for a pretty poor user experience. The app icon is cool, though.

I couldn’t read even a single article before a popup comes up to propose a premium service. There web-bas3d service is great. So, it is a shame that the app does not provide the same service.

Worked better than the new Quartz app, until they shut down the English version. Before that I was able to follow news sources one by one. The new Quartz app forces you to "create your feed" by picking 5 commenters. If you don't do that it won't remember any individual source you try to follow. Why would I want to get my news from 5 people I don't know instead of picking recognizable news publishers? Dark mode is also gone in the new Quartz. Too much haste for the sake of branding, bad user experience.
