Ratings and reviews

Smooth app, decent loading time, intuitive UI. Even better if the app can be on a floating window or split screen. Can be read while having some other screen activity in the background/side.

Some articles need to be checked thoroughly for spellings and grammar. Sometimes, there are paragraphs that were pasted twice!

Page always go to "top" after you read the article. Hassle as need to scroll back down.
