Used this app for around 6 years and it worked great. However, the app started crashing and freezing the phone from November 2021. This has been happening to a lot of people (as seen from the reviews) and there has not been any fix or updates from the developer's side. Hence, I have no option other than to uninstall the app and find an alternative news app. Thank you.

Day by day, once the best news app is deteriorating in quality as well as user experience. Don't know, whether anyone is taking the feedbacks or not. Earlier, it removed the number of unread news articles which was very good to guess approximate time required to read the news. Now, there are too many glitches with bookmarking the articles. Many times, all the bookmarked articles will not show at once. They will keep on coming after each refresh only. Some bookmarks don't go off at all.

It is free! I have only had a short while, but it seems good so far. It is more than just a snippit headline packed with acronymns that few are familiar with. It gives enough detail but does not overwhelm reader with too much filler (because author gets paid by the word). I will keep watching for now. Thank you.
