Once was goodAbsolutely hate the new refresh. Harder to get the news at a glance. In fact I’m now using the app about 99% less. Too bad. I really used to like and rave about the app. Please change it back before I delete the app.

I’m out!It’s subscription based now. Bye!

Neutral? Maybe…This app implies that it is neutral, but the headlines of the articles lean pretty Left. It shows you the impact on both sides, but what it cherry picks is often pretty Left. I’m trying not to jump to a bait & switch, but also trying to give it a better chance after several months. Time will tell if…
