Ratings and reviews

I wish I could rate it higher, but there's one major issue that I run into too frequently to be able to do so. The issue is that when you I am watching a video in full screen and rotate the screen (when I want to see it larger) it kicks me out of the video and makes to go back to the start of the video. So I don't only have to scroll back down the article to find the video again, but I also need to find where in the video I was when I rotated the screen! It's extremely frustrating!

I don't like the new update. I used to be able to easily access local news, now it shows me local news with bits of other news spread within. It's not as used friendly and I find myself spending more time trying to find relevant news though analysis etc than reading the news. Such a shame as it was such a trustworthy news app.

No scrollbar so no idea how long an article is. No 'Find In Page'. No Forward button so don't hit Back accidentally or you'll never find your article again! Reorienting phone between portrait/landscape, app loses its place. And don't reorient while playing a video as it spits the dummy. No History function so you'll handily never be able to easily find even the very last article you were reading, lord forbid something from yesterday! How could they possibly make it worse? Find out next update!!
