Ratings and reviews

I really want to love this app. I absolutely love the UN and the work they do and was so excited to install this, but it doesn't work at all with my Samsung Galaxy S8. It just says, "news feed contains no entries" and whenever I reload displays an error message about a cache or something not being a directory. Please help! I've deleted and re-downloaded it a few times and no luck... It worked for a few minutes once, and I got notifications about 2 articles. But nothing now, + the error is back.

The language switcher is bugged; the only languages I could get to work were English and Spanish. This creates a horrible user experience for users trying to access the app using any of the other "available" languages. Other than that, it does its job. Wish I could access the news in other languages though.

If you're an MUN delegate, this is the best app you'll ever download. Overall, the news coverage is amazing, and it definetly makes an incredible job placing all of the information together. This is the the most useful app if you want to stay in touch with the United Nations' inside, or simply with the most significant global events.
