Ratings and reviews

There seems to be no way to narrow down from broad topics like Arts to more specific things like Fine Art. I end up having to rely on the save feature to hold on to articles after scrolling through posts about mostly movies and music. However, the link to Saved articles is burried more than 30 links down in the menu. IMOP this section is more important than the aggregated 'For You' and should have top level access. The search icon is also only on the sections tab which could also be top level.

Good for news, but has some problems. Two things are really annoying. The first is that you can't search the pages! I skimmed a story, then wanted to find some specifics... No Searching on the pages! The other annoying thing is that, while you can scroll through the articles, there is no scroll bar to show your progress... You can't tell if you're near the end or the beginning of a story, so you can't budget your time. When it gets to be too long, I just bail from the app.

The content on the app is valuable but the app itself has issues. I have the app on a Pixel 5 and an IPad pro and the issues are the same. The app is slow to load and slow to refresh. It almost never functions smoothly, most transitions are a step slow or briefly pop up loading animations. The layout could be better arranged and it doesn't offer a dark mode. Ultimately it still is worth the price of subscription. 9/28/23 : A dark theme that leaves the text black on white? What's the point?
