I'm enjoying most of the content, but the app is buggy. It constantly flashes a warning that I have no Internet connection, even though I do. That pop up shifts the screen downward every couple of seconds, then returns it, making it very difficult to read. It's annoying enough that I won't resubscribe, as this is how I would prefer to engage with their content.

I get notifications for replies but they NEVER take me to the reply, let alone the same article. This wouldn't be as bad if there was a way to view past comments typed with a link to go to them. It's terribly difficult trying to find articles older than same day. An article history would make that a ton easier. The search function never gives relevant results. e.g. I tried searching for prior Josh Yohe NHL travel guides and I get results for other authors and sports.

Really hard to like the app. The app says I do not have an Internet connection at the top 100% of the time. The articles will not load unless I click them multiple times, open/pause/close repeat repeat repeat until maybe it opens. I have wifi and 5g service in most of the twin cities and this app acts like I have wifi only capabilities. The comment section does not load when you get a reply and click on the notification, it takes me to the home screen if it loads, every time.
