On Samsung tablets, no landscape option. In portrait configuration the text is shifted to the right, which blocks out about 10% of each line. Cell phone text is centered properly. No landscape. The user comments are not presented in chronological order so that five star comments, which describe an old, unavailable app, are seen first. The one or two star comments which are reasonably critical of the app "upgrade" in April, 2022 are scattered further down. No reason for the IT team to be proud.

Good app. 9/11/2019 update, quite some time ago they deleted the financial markets data and it has never returned, of course the subscription price wasn't reduced to compensate for losing that data. 10/15/21 They finally returned the financial data a while ago. Still has a very left leaning outlook. Not very open to ideas that go against what is politically correct. Although I wish they were less biased, they still have a good coverage of the world so I haven't yet canceled.

Love this app after using it for 6 years. The magazine is excellent and this app provides concise short, clear notes on stories across the world. Only reliable source of international news, as US news dominates other apps. Read it every day and look forward to it. Tightly written articles with well placed financial data and then a fun quote to finish it off. Still love it. Updated 10/2021. In addition this is offered as a podcast.
