8 of 25i love the app so far, the “which came first” game was interesting and taught me i need to get more education 🤣 my only suggestion would be to make a feature for you to search by category like, news- true crime- cars- etc!
Looks terrible compared to the website and all the sections being expanded by default makes it effectively useless for quick research. What a waste of time money and energy to develop this app.
Opened Wikipedia, unavoidable “play our new game” popup appears. No option to hide - just “maybe later.” An insult to those who donate to the platform.
Latest version seems to have been created just to make the search field appear sometimes at the top f the screen and sometimes at the bottom. Why????????????

Невозможно пользоваться. Скроллишь статью пальцем, а остановить скррлл новым нажатием не можешь, текст продолжает скроллиться. Как и всегда, любое действительно крутое приложение, в котором нет ничего лишнего и которое идеально работает, в конце концов оказывается в руках некомпетентных скотов, знающих только слово «тренд» и как продавать самих себя в виде профессионалов. Грустно. Непостижимо.
I downloaded the app, because I enjoy going on some deep dives on my pc or on my phone. Previously, I just used my normal web browser. Decided to download the app. The layout and navigating the app feels far too different from the website for me. I have deleted the app, just so I can go back to using my web browser. Never red a single page on the app. I would click on the link in my browser, get taken to the app, then close the app, and open the page on my computer, where I never had the app.
Installed recently and have been pleasantly surprised by how well designed the application is! Great work!
