Ratings and reviews

The app works okay and I like the dark mode & special reports with cool visuals. However, there's this problem with the Morning Newsletter notification. It'll state the titles of the reports for the morning but when I tap on it, the report I'm looking for isn't even on the page even after scrolling all the way down. In the comment section, it's hard to tell if I hit "recommend" for a comment or not. It should turn blue or just be a like button with thumbs up and down.

Still slower than the website - the app takes forever to load perhaps because it's chewing through over half a gigabyte of user data (at least on my phone which has plenty of unused storage). While random refreshes seem to be less of an issue, navigation remains primitive, a throwback to the early 1990s: The lack of a persistent title bar means that you have to constantly hit the back button to return to the main page. Appalling.

the app is doing pretty good job in helping me reading the articles I would in the print version. I cannot give it a five star because of (1) dark theme disappeared causing eye strain, (2) device screen does not rotate to horizontal, and (3) the search is pretty bad, totally irrelevant; much easier to google an article, then read it on the app, than to search in the app. As of October 2024, the dark theme is working. Device screen still doesn't rotate. The search is terrible, even worse now.
