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

I generally like the app, although the subscription is quite expensive. However, I have issues with listening articles, in most of them it doesn't work and it's still stuck in one I listened to a month ago. There is also somehow lack of diversity in topics, I miss more on biology related feeds while there are many about one same topic (loose weight drugs). Those could be grouped together so my feed feels less cramped with the same topics.

Nice app, useful articles that are handy to keep up to date with science. The dark mode remains buggy though, as figure titles and axis labels are not visible. Please add: - The Earth, Chemistry, and Society sections, which are only available if you log in with a Web browser but not via the app (I have subscribed via the web not through Google Pay) - Dates to articles. They are shown if reading articles in a browser but not in the app.
