STAT News

I got the app to have a better experience of the online Covid vaccine tracker that doesn’t work right on a phone. Well, can I even find the vaccine tracker on the app? No. I can’t search it or find anything. You have some subject headings with curated news, but you can only scroll through it. This could be a really important source for global health articles, but without a search option, without filters, it’s not fit for purpose, really.

The app doesn’t integrate with the website at all. The story layout is horrible. There is no way to sort things by date. It’s only once you click on a story that you get taken to a screen where you can find a menu to sort stories by topic. I love the news service but this app is a waste of time. I hope people don’t look at the app and think this is what they really represent. Seriously, they could hire a high school kid and have this improved many times over in a week.

As noted by other reviewers, this app from Stat News doesn’t integrate with a StatPlus subscription — which means that you’re better off just bookmarking the StatNews website in your browser and accessing stories there instead (since most of what you’ll want to read will require clicking through the app to the web anyway). This is really lazy app development.

Paying $29/month for a Stat+ subscription, you still can’t access any premium articles from within the app. Instead, you’re only given a paragraph, and redirected to login to your account via a browser. Only there can you read Stat+ articles. An incredibly disappointing user experience.

Serious technical flaw... When attempting to log into your Stat+ account, your redirected Tina login page which doesn’t load. You are stuck on a blank/white screen.
