Ratings and reviews

Not recommended at all! Most of the time I try to read an article or search for one that I really wanna read, it takes me somewhere else or constantly freezes. It's also causing problems on my phone. I was hoping that it was fixed, but it wasn't so I'm Uninstalling and won't be downloading again. I suggest finding another way to keep up on the news and staying away from this app if you wanna keep your phone working.

Initially, both my husband and I loved this app, but it's become too cumbersome. It's slow to load articles, and most times, the articles won't load or will only partially load. We have excellent internet coverage and speed, and I have performed (multiple times) the normal troubleshooting protocols, such as deleting cache, closing/reopening the app, starting/restarting the phone, etc. - same problem. Frustrating!

App server is VERY slow to connect and load articles. Like that there's an array of areas to read about and choice of location. Would be helpful if corrections could be made rather than having to delete message and start over or just say forget it all together. Overall a decent app, but the server loading is the biggest issue. Not waiting ten minutes for an article to upload. No it's not my internet.
