Review summary

Users praise the app for its intuitive layout, ease of use, and solid journalism. However, recurring problems undermine the experience: the app often signs users out and requires re-authentication; pages load slowly; update prompts loop or fail to install; coverage feels incomplete or not up to date; and layout/readability issues (content sometimes not visible, small font). These issues persist across reviews, suggesting a tension between perceived content quality and inconsistent performance and reliability. Without addressing sign-in reliability, update flows, and readability, the app risks losing subscribers despite strong editorial content.

Pros

Intuitive and well-laid-out user interface.
Easy to use.
Strong journalism and real news coverage.

Cons

Frequent sign-out/login issues.
Slow loading and poor performance.
App update/install problems (update prompts looping or failing).
Content gaps and lack of up-to-date coverage (no business/finance; older articles).
Layout/readability issues (content sometimes not visible; small font).

2026-08-06	E *****	The publisher obviously don't use this app and it shows. - Try reading articles in landscape mode. Scrolling is a disaster - intermittent and slow especially trying to get below an ad. If there is a video, it won't scroll at all. - Screen usage is often 80% ad and white space. Content is only a sentence or two. I was trying this app as the NP ePaper app was also very annoying. This is for a PAID subscriber - who is about to become an ex-subscriber.

2026-01-15	Da*****	The app constantly signs you out, requiring you to dig up passwords and stuff. It basically defeats the whole point of having an app.

2025-12-25	T *****	Not all the content that I thought that I would get. No business or finance thus far. Glad I only took a trial promotion subscription.
