It's a wonderful app, top to bottom. It clearly and concisely boils down the news to its, well to its starting point. Bonus: No ads! I removed a star for simple aesthetic and functional reasons - which I would hope to see addressed in a future update. 1) Dark Mode Compatibility requested. As it is, the app is white and very bright on my already darkened screen. 2) There were a few videos I watched with the CC on that also had in-video captions which made focusing on the speaker a bit harder.

This is a great app for staying informed without the political drama. It's easy to navigate and it's a wealth of information at your fingertips. You get views right left and center! I highly recommend this app!

I wish it had more options for voters to contact their representatives, I tried using the locate my representative part of the app and it wouldn't work. Also some of this issues they discuss aren't really relevant to America just their own individual party, but that's not the apps fault just American politicians I guess.
