Ratings and reviews

The app suddenly plays YouTube videos with sound (content, not ads). Can't turn the sound off. Can't stop the video either, because there is an overlay menu that won't go away, which also means you can't actually see the video. App support shoots themselves in the foot with an inane email setup: They route incoming emails through a third party, which forwards them in a way that breaks the SPF record, so the emails are automatically declined. Then they respond by saying I should email them! Fail

I have installed and uninstalled multiple times. Started and restarted my phone. deleted the cache. And still keeps spinning and spinning whenever I click on the app. *** updated review April 8th. The most recent update has fixed the issue where now I can open the app with no issues. thank you for fixing the issue.

I would also love to see a text-to-speech reader available at the top of each article. It is very difficult to find the Autos section. Having a limit of 100 saved articles is ridiculous, there is no excuse for that in 2025.
