This gets three stars because it does work, and the content is good. But there are so many quality-of-life improvements that could be made to the app. Just off the top of my head: * synchronise saved articles across devices (sometimes I read on my phone, sometimes on my tablet), * remember what article and where in it I got to and go straight there next time I open it (sync between devices, too) * let me mark issues as read so that when catching up on older ones I've missed I know what I've read

The app works great as a magazine but I have two main complaints, one about the content and one about the app navigation. First, how can you display articles without showing the publication date? I have no idea if the article is relevant today. Second, there's no navigation that takes me straight to the homepage. I have to keep going back and back and back. Please add a home button on every page.

Excellent content but the listening part of the app is appallingly made. Every time I use it there is a problem. The latest problem was the article I was listening to just stopped and then it went back to play the article that had already been played 2 articles ago. Make it a useful app and I'll continue to subscribe. But I won't subscribe to an app that has this many problems.
