Comments on TechCrunch for Android

★★★★★ Thanks for giving sign in option but there's a problem with the app now, a message of "sorry, having difficulty loading articles" is showing in the background of the articles..
★★★★★ EVV ASSURANCE DIGICERT RSS CA F37 E60 28 💯 APPROVE ALL REFUND RETURNS EXACTLY THE WAY I'VE RECEIVED UNFORGIVABLE S BY MYSTERY EVEN EXACTUS! SOMASUNDER SNAPSEED HIS EXACTUS RETURNS!
★★★★★ I keep on getting issues with images in the app. It doesn't show the image just a content I'd. Since yesterday the author of the article is displayed right below the heading of the article on the main screen of the app. But it is so close that they overlap. I have a Galaxy Note9
★★★★★ Great app love using it to get the latet tech news, but its missing a dark mode option in the settings. Please add a dark mode option in the settings of the app ( system default, dark mode on and dark mode off)
★★☆☆☆ Litteray half of the app doesent work. It's been months and they seem to not care EDIT: Still broken. Amongst a vast variety of broken surprises, image displaying in articles has been broken for probably over a year and no one seems to care. Just displays the short code.
★★☆☆☆ Needs Invasive permissions. Also a lot of subtle political bias in articles despite the fact that it is supposed to be Tech News. A consequence of hiring Woke Writers. They can't contain their Wokeness. Cringe.
★★☆☆☆ On home page it's showing error that "sorry having difficult loading articles, plese try again later"
★★☆☆☆ Does not update everytime I open the app. Have to force the update, which is ridiculous.
★★☆☆☆ Most of the articles I get on my Google feed dissappear when redirected to the techcrunch app. I'm also getting error messages to try again later. They need to increase their development budget. These problems have existed for a while.
★★☆☆☆ No dark theme. No read out load option.
