About this app
Welcome to a new app experience, we have optimized our app and given it a facelift! This faster native app now has the following new features:
Your News: Provide personalized recommendations for content based on user preferences. Users will be allowed to customize the content they want to engage with by selecting the topics they are truly interested in. By going to the "Your News" tab the user can bypass the noise of all that is published and home in on the content they want
Saved Articles: Save feature that allows users to save articles or other content they are interested in for later reading or reference.Push notifications will remind users to read their saved articles or suggest related content
Custom Push Notifications: The user can select what topics they want to be notified about which makes for a much less intrusive experience.…

Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured

Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
65–79% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

“Undo everything you’ve done the last three years — Every update makes it worse. After latest “updates”, the app now — Will not allow sharing of a single article, if I try to share it sends the recipient a link to the whole paper — Will…”
“HORRIBLE change to this app! — In addition to the complaints about pop-up ads on a PAID subscription, difficult navigation, constantly getting kicked back to page A1, etc, this new app substantially drains the iPad battery, when compared…”
