Terrible. If you lock the screen while reading an article, you cannot scroll, you have to exit the article and go back in. Happens every time. Update 28/11: with the new update, the app is still as useless as the last version. Try going into a news article, then press the back button - it immediately closes the app. Does anyone test these apps! Edit 13/04/2021: garbage. App still not user friendly. Try opening a news article with a graph, you can't scroll by the graph. Uninstalled.

The recently updated app appears to be a big improvement on its predecessor. However there is no apparent way to return to the sub-menu you were browsing, without going into main menu. If I use the back button on the phone it kicks me out, this for me is a problem which needs correcting. Also my saved articles are missing

Very good app for aggregated irish news. Very nice presentation However it is frequently freezing and then causing my touch screen to freeze necessitating a hard reset of the phone to enable the screen to work again. I would be very concerned about causing permanent damage to my phone, a Samsung S20 5g and so unfortunately cannot continue to use this app.
