National Review

Beckon for Center Right journalism with even opposing views sprinkled in to get perspective. Best stable of writers across the conservative spectrum that usually stay away from the T word for or against. Lowry might be best editor around just because he accepts so many points of view with main goal being it better be good writing. I got pulled into the writing more and more, became an avid podcast listener (one of the best and entertaining though they need to figure out how to get 4 people back on at the same time). Now am NR+ sub and cant wait for the monthly to come out.

Nope. An apparent fix lasted all of a week. All articles again randomly crash in a white screen. The user can only go back to the home screen, find the article they were reading again, then try to scroll back to where they left off reading. It may happen 2 or 3 more times when trying to get through a longer article. I had theorized that it was caused by script issues with their ads but who knows. They had seemed to completely fix it for a week or two in December 2017 but it is back to being nearly unusable. I still give 3 stars because of course the content is excellent and impossible to find elsewhere curated all in one place. It is worth some frustration, but this is sisyphean.

I really wish that people at news organizations actually tried USING the apps to read their news. Every time a new ad loads up, the article is reloaded maybe to where you left off. Maybe not. Meanwhile you spend 30-45 seconds looking at a blank screen. And you can count on this happening a couple of times per article. FYI, I am only reading the web content (free) and I understand the need to monetize. But when the ads are too intrusive/aggravating to make the article readable ... Well, now the ability to monetize off my eyeballs is gone because I will not continue to subject myself to this irritation.

You can’t get through a single article without multiple page reloads, constant bouncing of newly rendered content on the page, or my favorite just a big blank white screen that takes over the whole page while in the middle of reading. The developers need to render the content from the articles different than just a PWA. I would love to subscribe to national review but I wouldn’t put any money towards an app who’s sole purpose is to render text for the reader and that can’t even be accomplished by these developers. It might be time for a shake up in your development team if this basic necessity can’t be met.

I like the content, as it is informative and well balanced. However... the articles and comments are impossible to read. The app constantly refreshes the page and moves the screen to the top of the article. Before I scroll down, it refreshes again, and again. When I want to read comments, I find myself back to the article itself, and before I scroll to the bottom and hit the comments button, and scroll down to the comments I read, it glitches and I can start all over again. Absolutely frustrating. Please, fix this!
