Ratings and reviews

The app generally works well, but the fact I can't select what I receive notifications about is ridiculous. For example, I don't care about anything to do with sports but I keep getting notifications about sports. Implement the ability to select what topics we receive notifications about. Edit: I've cancelled my subscription. It feels well past the time frame you gave and should've been implemented from the start. Topic based notification settings seems like a basic thing for a news app.

Usually great and easy to use, however when trying to open some stories it opens a browser window in the app and asks me to sign in again, even though I an already signed in. Very frustrating

Good balanced coverage of issues.
