The news is very smooth on the web but when it comes to the app it has more lag than my entire gaming experience. it would be better if you improve it so that we can use it to boost our knowledge.

Thank you for bringing back the app. It'd be 5/5 if both of the 2 bars at the top and the bottom weren't there, it covers plenty of screen. I believe those bars can be submerged into a single one, and would be good if that is done. Also, the font inside the articles, kindly use the same ones used on the website, not bold. It's hard for viewers to adjust with different fonts on the both ends. I hope these improvements are brought in.

The app was crashing suddenly months ago when i was last using it (on a different phone and OS), and is still crashing just the same since i reinstalled it a few days ago. This usually happens while scrolling down an article or switching between articles. It just shuts down taking me back to my phone's home page. Takes a lot of patience to muddle through this nuisance for a couple of news articles.
