Buggy app
It logs out regularly which is frustrating and unnecessary for a news app. Often when I open a notification it prompts me to log in, and then I have to log in about 5 times before it dismisses the prompt. Then after all that it doesn’t even open the article I had clicked on. Additionally, so many things are unintuitive. For example cards should link to articles in their entirety, but instead only the title of those cards links to the article. This means you might tap an article card several times before actually opening the article, and that’s hoping it doesn’t log you out in the process.
