I adore ProPublica, and the Noa TTS feature you've included for pretty much all articles now is huge. Unfortunately, the Noa audio player doesn't show up for all articles, even when I can confirm Noa recordings are available. Please take a look at this, so I can use your app more frequently/have it be my single point of access for article digestion!

Quite simply, ProPublica is the best and most trustworthy investigative news journalism source in the US. This app is a daily must see for me.

Wanted easy way to look up what you might be investigating in area of housing. I wonder whether some federal officials are too close to wealthy investors. Take for example my own mortgage which has changed hands several times. Since widowed in 2008, I have been paying 2K month mortgage payments with all but $500 going toward interest to wealthy investors. My income is under 40K. Trying to get reverse mortgage since last March and thought we would close this week. AAG just informed me FHA is

Love the app and this fantastic investigative group, but the ability to make a donation through the app is BROKEN. Keep getting an error message after repeated attempts to donate. Wrote to tech support, but the email bounced. I'm hoping they read this review. This is a bad time in history to have the donation system broken!!

Doesn't update articles, no section menu, no search. Don't get me wrong, I love the publication but the app is frustrating! For example for the 2nd time this week I got a notification, that does not take me to the article I was notified about. I am stuck in a Coronavirus section and cannot find any menu of any other sections. Read ProPublica, please! But read it in a web browser, forget this app! I tried reinstalling buy made no diff.

The latest update makes it so you cant read articles in the app anymore, they just link to their website, defeating the purpose of having an app in the first place. Fantastic journalism though.
★★☆☆☆Ryan Okerson· Jan 3, 2021
Has a feed of news stories but does not update after having the app for 4 days. No method to user-update feed, no settings for update interval, nothing. It's like I downloaded static articles in the form of an app.
