The app suddenly plays YouTube videos with sound (content, not ads). Can't turn the sound off. Can't stop the video either, because there is an overlay menu that won't go away, which also means you can't actually see the video. App support shoots themselves in the foot with an inane email setup: They route incoming emails through a third party, which forwards them in a way that breaks the SPF record, so the emails are automatically declined. Then they respond by saying I should email them! Fail

I would also love to see a text-to-speech reader available at the top of each article. It is very difficult to find the Autos section. Having a limit of 100 saved articles is ridiculous, there is no excuse for that in 2025.

If you've set it up to notify you about responses to your comments, you will be sent an email telling you someone has replied and there's a button to reply to this person. It doesn't take you to that person's comment. and it doesn't always take you to the same place. I also generally don't love the layout. It has many buggy behaviors, such as getting stuck when you're scrolling down a page. It behaves like an app where they cheaped and testing and fixing.
