| 2024-12-04 |  | | App keeps autoplaying videos with no way to turn off. It stops media playing which is very frustrating plus links to articles take you to the wrong article. Please fix asap |

| 2024-11-03 |  | | Auto media is ruining my experience, will have to delete if you don't provide options to stop auto media, or set it not to be the default. It's infuriating that it stops Spotify and other media playing because some video in an article I'm not even selecting! |
| 2024-10-28 |  | | Articles are constantly out of sync with the headlines. Click on a headline and it regularly takes you to a completely unrelated article. Really frustrating. |
| 2024-10-21 |  | | When I scroll up or down in an article quite often the App jumps to the Comment Guidelines. Very annoying. Very annoying as it jumps to Comment Guidelines almost every time I try to scroll. Not worth using app. |
