Top Navigation Bar:
 A top navigation bar lets the user switch between sections by swiping or tapping.

Enews in-app:

Offline Reading:
This feature allows users to enable offline reading from Settings. Offline "Reading Preferences" can also be customized for Settings.

A user will be shown articles on topics they are following. To follow select "follow" at the article level and related articles will gain relevancy and be shown more frequently. Just as easily "Unfollow"

## Rankings

- #239,825 — Overall

## Review summary

Users largely report that The Reporter for Mobile is smooth and easy to use, but suffers from stale content, limited local coverage, and weak search/navigation. Reviews consistently describe the app as well-built and intuitive, yet failing to provide up-to-date news, obituaries, police logs, and detailed local stories, and lacking effective search/archive features. The overall sentiment is mixed: a usable app burdened by outdated content and missing capabilities.

### Pros

- Smooth, responsive performance.
- Information is presented in an intuitive, easy-to-navigate layout.
- Overall solid app with usable features.

### Cons

- Content is not up-to-date or frequently repeats the same articles for days; updates lag and refresh claims are misleading.
- Local coverage is weak for non-professional sports and important local items (e.g., obituaries); excessive focus on Philadelphia pro sports.
- Navigation and features are limited or missing (no Police Log/Crimewatch, limited search/archive, obituaries hard to find).
