Loads very slowely. The app frequently just spins. The articles don't seem to appear in any discernable fashion. There is not an aperent way to sort chronologically, either of the authors I subscribe to or of those in the random feed. I want to be able to see new articles by those I subscribe to, but there is no way of doing that.

Love the app, but I've had issues with the android version on my Samsung s23 crashing when I try to publish an article. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, but it's not helping, even though that fixed the problem before. My phone is telling me that the app is crashing because it has a bug. Can we get this fixed, please.

Easy to navigate. The algorithm works for me. It doesn't have the flexibility of discord for example. That's why it only got four out of five stars. It seems to provide a platform for rigorous thought, and meaningful dialogue. I trust the conservatives that I have included in my algorithm by my decisions. The bulwark for example, they give me a perspective I don't normally go to, but I like them and their perspective. The libertarian economic model is something I believe be flawed, but 👍♥️
