Update: the problem was quickly resolved and I'm back to enjoying"The World and Everything in it." I love WORLD radio news. Unfortunately the app still crashes as of (7/27/24) when attempting to listen to any of the podcasts. I am using a Pixel 7 on Android 14.

You can't read one story without agreeing to a trial subscription. An image of a lock appears next to each headline. Most good apps will at least let me read some stories to allow me to determine if their journalistic approach appeals to me. Nope, not one. Don't waste your time unless you intend to subscribe sight unseen. There are far too many news apps to choose from for me to be forced into a subscription without knowing how they report, left or right, amount of bias....
