Ratings and reviews

I've been getting notices that the app has a bug. It loads, but crashes as soon as you tap on an article to read. Unusable.

Oct 26th release is crashing on selection of any article. Cache cleared, app removed and reinstalled... no joy... bad timing

Sad to say this app is not optimized well very slow at loading even with good internet and other apps working well. I reccomend their website and youtube podcast its very good. However this app is ether poorly made or poorly maintenanced.
