The developer really failed awhile ago with weeks where we couldn't get any news from the app. Now the app is just worse. It used to be easier to find articles I wanted to read. Now it's just ugly and there's so little info on rl each screen. The story panes are just too big on a smaller phone. I rarely want to even open it to look at what's there and when I do I rarely open more than one article before closing the app.

Hello. The new version 41.9.1 is now live in the Google Play Store; we're sorry for the delay. This new version features more organization on the home screen, where we have articles grouped by topic, as well as a list of the latest-published articles. Legibility on articles has also been improved.

I gave the new version 1 star after it first came out and I would give it a half star even now if it was an option. The new version is a major degrade in usability and aesthetic quality. I loved the volume of easily accessible news in the prior version. The new version increases the invasiveness of ads while greatly reducing easy access to news. Less than a quarter of the news originally available can be found now. Very disappointing.

Initially I left a bad review. After using this for a few more days, it's even more annoying. Why were tabs eliminated? The fonts are all different size all over the place. They don't have author names on articles. The articles don't populate in any discernable order, it's a mix of new and old making it hard to know what you've missed. The articles don't even fully load on the first try half the time. The authors need to just copy the wall street journal's app.

Thank you for the feedback. With the new app, we focused on adding more content to the home screen grouped by topic while also retaining Latest Stories. Legibility on article screens was made easier by making the font a little bigger with increased line spacing. The app also responds to the font-size settings of your device if you need it larger.
