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.

I have to join the general android consensus, this app is rubbish. Why? It lacks content. Half the web articles are missing. Sestions are missing. Cannot get to the quizzes, crosswords, Sudoku or target word. I am a subscriber. I sent an email to android@ and got basically an advert back. Bring back the old Android app! It was much better.

The My News function needs work. It currently only takes you to the Top articles in each section, which often don't reflect my interest and are not regularly updated. Eg the Culture articles have not changed for a week, despite abundant new content if one digs deeper. Please let us choose which specific sections we want in My News, not just the algorithmically determined 'Top'.
