The world's in dire need of independent, unbiased, decimination of news. This app has the potential to be a game changer. However, they have a lot of work to do. Nothing is intuitive. it's difficult to sort publications or save articles in lists. I've deleted it several times for the email/push notifications, alone. After learning a workaround, I've finally gotten that in check. Most importantly, there is a wealth of great content. Please make it easier to agrigate this wonderful content.

I attempted to add a handle that contains only letters. The app refused to allow this handle, repeatedly telling me that a handle must contain only letters and numbers. Guess I'll stick to the browser. ... UPDATE: It turns out that the app doesn't like uppercase letters in handles. But the error message doesn't say that. It says "Use only letters and numbers", as though uppercase letters don't qualify as letters. And for that, it gets one star. Fix it, and MAYBE I'll reconsider.

Updated 4/21/24. Continues w/ no fix. Wont transition from webpage to app anymore. Takes me to the play store download for the app instead of opening the existing app. Once its opened from playstore, it doesnt open the original post article. Failure to continue the waterfall effect. Also, in app "search" index for posts is useless.
