## Review summary

Most reviews express dissatisfaction with stability and maintenance: the app looks good and has potential, with several users noting a newer version is an improvement. However, repeated issues include crashes and unresponsiveness, outdated content and iOS compatibility, non-working push notifications, missing content and navigational problems (no back button, hidden home-page titles), and intrusive popups. Support/contact options are poor. Users want fixes, regular updates, and better maintenance.

### Pros

- Pristine, clean-looking user interface/design.
- New version is a notable improvement.
- Positive user sentiment/ratings (thumbs-up) indicating appreciation when the app works.

### Cons

- Push notifications do not work; contact options are limited.
- Frequent crashes and stability issues (crashes on launch or when opening articles, especially after upgrades).
- Lack of ongoing updates and compatibility problems with iOS 11; content not updated for years.
- Missing content and navigation issues (not all stories available, home page article titles sometimes not visible, no back button).
- Intrusive popups (in-browser) and other usability annoyances.
