## Review summary

Users say the app provides a valuable, portable way to assess media bias and share findings, with praise for its usefulness and up-to-date ratings. However, multiple reviews cite serious reliability and UX problems: endless loading or non-responsiveness, being stuck in an orientation (landscape/upside-down), tiny unreadable icons/text, and login or membership access issues. Some also note limited search features and redirecting to the website. Overall, strong value if these stability and UI issues are fixed.

- Orientation problems: app stuck in landscape or upside-down
