App has a lot of loading issues. No option to translate anything in the app even with the dictionary setting on. Every article I click on tells me that the dictionary function is unavailable and trying to copy everything and paste it into another app is too inconvenient when learning. Videos and Audios will not play, they give a broken link image when clicking. App is too slow for me, not worth the effort of taking up space on my phone when it is unusable.

Downloaded this and really was excited. I even signed up for the 7 day free trial with hopes of paying for ad free content. The problem isn't the small ad bar on the app it's the horrible dictionary website that the app uses that is littered with ads. Not even reasonable ones, they're sexual, some are just rotten teeth and warts... yeah this is totally an app I can use in the train to read the news every morning. Uninstalled and unsubscribed immediately.

Good app, and one I paid for by the way, but it hasn't been updated in a while. On Android 10 and 11, the audio playback doesn't work anymore. After some experimentation, I discovered that the breakage is due to the "unlocker app" that gets downloaded when you subscribe to the paid version. If you delete the unlocker, audio works again. So I guess the bottom like is that you should continue to use the free version.
