Ratings and reviews

Technically, the app works but you can only find limited recent stories arranged by date. At times, there are several news headline categories IF the you can find the categories in setting. Sometimes, the categories can be found in settings but like today, it's nonexistent. My biggest complaint is the lack of being able to search the data base for specific stories previously posted or even a general word search.

The information is top notch, but the app has some glitches. I hate that when I leave the app and return to an article I was reading, the entire article reloads, and I lose my place. Also, as a member, there's supposed to be a comment section that I cannot access. Fix these issues and it'll be a great app.

News coverage is good, but the app navigation is buggy, and feedback forms in the app often don't work. It needs some work to fix these things, and I often feel like giving up on it.
