Oct 2022 update. Redesigned app is cumbersome and glitchy. Tried to provide Politico feedback directly, but the app froze and so could not. Will delete. New app freezes after 1-2 stories. As a government executive, politico was my goto app for indepth analysis from various perspectives. But the redesigned app fails. (My tablet is a year old so it shouldn't be a tech problem.) If MAZ can't fix the app, politico customers will have to turn to the Economist, the Atlantic, or other reliable apps.

App constantly gives me notifications for articles (that I often want to read), but never allows me to read them. Everytime I click a notification it crashes and says no internet connection, even though I can still use every app on my phone, including Politico, without any connectivity issues. Edit: uninstalled the app. After months the same issue was never fixed

Same news stories displayed for over three weeks. No daily updates. Will also send a new news notice but when you click to read it takes you to a Politico screen saying 'no content' then flips to the 3+ week old news list. Others have complained but nothing has been repaired or updated. So..off to find a more workable/reliable app. Don't waste your time with this one.
