10/2024. Straightforward and free of pesky ads. This app is a great addition to the goal of having a small handful of diverse, trustworthy news outlets. If any 2 apps say exactly the same thing, one of them is unnecessary!

Excellent so far... but for all the explanation icons beside options in that menu, they don't explain "Lighter mode." Will someone on staff please elaborate? Also, could you folks consider a "dark theme" toggle? Thank you and please keep up the good work.
