Ratings and reviews

News is good, garbage app, but getting slightly better. they seem to have fixed the repeated requests to log in. Notifications are bad. They pop up, it's interesting, but instead of taking you directly to the article, it's the front page and you must search for the article. I'm now ignoring them and so using the app much less.

App Works great until article limit then cannot sign in. Wish there was more content. The UI looks good and it's easy to read and navigate. I started reading for traveling to Japan. I'm interested in Food and Events so I wish that content was included. Subscriber Sign in Issue. The biggest problem is signing in. I have a paid subscription however every time I try to sign in, the page flashes content and signs me out again.

Add night mode(dark theme) and the ability to save articles for later viewing within the app. I get blinded by the white screen at night-time. Other than that the content is great-keep it up. The only reason I rated only 1 star is in hope it will catch your attention and you'll add night mode & save article for later view button within the app.
