12/2024 When I select a picture/slideshow at the top of an article, the app closes. 6/2024 Why is there html text in so many articles? It seems to truncate the articles.
by Wil B, 2024-12-04

Noted problems: 1. STILL: Attached video clip or photo flickers and then eventually disappears when scrolling /reading the news. 2. STILL: Radio gets terminated by the OS when played in the background. And when reopened, it says the app is running. EVEN AFTER FORCED STOP, PROBLEM PERSISTS 3. STILL: Dark mode option feels buggy.

During the app start-up when we're asked to customize our interests, the UI is not intuitive at all! It turns out the options you don't tick will be considered your interests pala. Nothing in the UI suggests that, and it was confusing (I'm not sure if it has to do with my device set to dark mode). I had to quickly uninstall the app and reinstall it, and fortunately, I could start over again naman. But it was more than a bit inconvenient, so maybe you should fix that.
