Ratings and reviews

I give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's got a nice layout that's easy to navigate. One thing that is a plus if the ability to download and read the news offline which I find especially helpful as sometimes I am in areas that has a week internet connection so this is helpful as I can download and read the news when I am in these areas. Thank you to the developers... It's above average in performance and definitely worth downloading.

I have a feeling that some of the issues I experience with the app are purposeful. 1. I can't block certain sources (mainly clickbate video sources) - an option to block them is not given - AND the 3 dots for those sources has a touch area smaller than the rest, leaving me clicking the videos instead of clicking the three dots more often than the rest. 2. Even sources I can block end up returning often enough for me to realize that the option is not concrete/fake.

I like the content but the way it's layed out on the screen I find to be rather messy and confusing.A bit generic. It would be nice if you had a dark mode theme for people like me who feel eye strain. Also for some odd reason at random times the app won't let me close it. It's really strange actually but just now I had it happen again, kept clicking every which way and finally I got it after I backed space a dozen times or something. Overall it needs some tweeking and maybe I'll come back.
