I like being able to read the news on my phone with this app. I wish it had a dark mode/theme to making reading at night easier. Edit December 2024: still no dark mode and app no longer saves log in information. You have to log in every time you open the app.

It's difficult to read other categories in the paper, it's as if I'm reading the main part but not all the paper.

The updated app has had nothing but problems. They need to put a new group, person, etc on doing a proper update. The UI is a mess....no dark mode, the articles take 3 to 5 minutes to load then only have the article loads. What a mess they made of an app that had no issues.

My account sign in is through my Facebook account. But the Facebook app and the Modbee app don't get along. I can still read articles, but I can't use this app to read them. So, yeah.
