★★☆☆☆Michael Terry· May 2, 2026
App is great when it works. Having to constantly log in and have the password sync can be a headache at times
★★☆☆☆Reggie Cunningham· Jun 11, 2026
One issue is that the watch list corrupts itself, and you have to refresh it over and over. I read many of the articles and find them accurate.
★☆☆☆☆David da Silva· May 15, 2026
Opening a notification just gets you to the main page and not the article (xhen it does cause if you try it twice you just have a black screen)...
★☆☆☆☆Alexander Apostolov· Jun 23, 2026
Constantly crashes. I've uninstalled and use the mobile friendly website instead.
