2024-09-13	Wi*****	I don't want politics in a teck app. There's plenty of teck things to focus on, but not politics. PLEASE. The fact you cannot comment on wrong think stories that are put here as factual does effect usage for information. Many great interesting post still.

2021-08-24	Al*****	News feed is getting worse with every day. Many articles are not loading. It is getting also quite boring to read those articles on some boring topics.

2021-07-30	Ja*****	The app is pretty good. Gives a variety of tech articles, depending on providers. But the problem, more and more articles are loading blank. Requiring you to click the overflow and load the article outside the app. And it's not seeming to be the app as much as it's consistently specific news sources. Articles from Android authority are one of the main examples I can think of. You click the headline, articles opens with nothing viewable but the already stated headline.
