Ratings and reviews

The app is well-designed overall and the content is great. The only issue I have is that the Games section is crazy buggy. The tiles where you select a game are cut off as if they are scaled 2x so you can't even read the titles (no, my screen is not zoomed). Now, even when I go into a game — say, Brackets — the content is empty. In short, the app is flawless in terms of browsing and reading their wonderful articles, which is why I have this in the first place, but the Games section is unusable.

Buggy/Slow audio player with lengthy ads. The audio content all begins and ends with ads anywhere from 20 seconds long to 1.5 minutes long. A 7 minute audio clip had an almost 2 minute ad for a podcast. The audio player is often unresponsive and always slow. The queue feature is buggy. The AI narration is just ok. The Economist has a similar feature set for narrated articles without ads and bugs. I shouldn't have to sit through this many advertisements for a service I already subscribe to.

there are several issues using the audio app, at least for an android user. The biggest issue is that it doesn't automatically go to the next article when one fi ishes or allow me to use the next button in the app. It doesn't seem to want to start where it left off after a pause and frequently has to be closed completely to reuse after a pause. This is a fairly big deal when trying use while driving.
