Ratings and reviews

Great app, been using it for a while. Clean interface, I personally only use dark mode. Good filters for comments, you only get to read the funny and insightful ones. Developer is not adding unwanted features for the sake of it, it is just great the way it is.

Great offline news reading app but sometimes it won't update stories and I can't read the latest news. The errors are usually on the server side and could be easily fixed with better monitoring if the developer was so inclined.

Great app for reading slashdot stories,I like the option to switch day and night modes and the fact i can read offline.I wish though it would have the" from the dept of x" which is in the header of all articles. Note. The developer has since addresed the issue ☺️
