Can not switch the video content to English :-(

Doesn't work very well. Fails to use existing network connections. The context on paintings needs to be segmented, rather than just a huge wall of text. Edit for developer: it wasn't just WiFi, the app seemed to not switch between LTE/5G and WiFi. It was the National Gallery in London

I find that the articles I read from the notifications are always interesting and well presented. They cover a wide range of subjects and I usually learn quite a few things.
