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.

I was happy with The Local last year, but somehow this year the app is a frustrating reading experience due to the constant article refresh when I switch apps, even if by mistake for 1 second. Also notification settings really don't work. Not to mention I miss getting newsletters for the major news and daily recap. For those reasons I am reluctant to renew my subscription as I feel the brand is getting abandoned

I'm a Swedish resident. In the past I've paid for membership - while within Sweden - directly to you - not using google pay. I'm currently in the USA and attempted to buy a membership + for access to your newsletter and podcasts. I used this Local app to make the payment with my Swedish Visa card and it went through, but it went through with the google play app based in the USA. I cannot access membership features. Google won't refund. Please investigate. Thanx
