UI since the redesign is poor. No customization and having the featured items at the top is terrible. It may work on the printed page or widescreen web page, but sucks on mobile. Now I can't even log in to my account, the app crashes as soon as I get past the password. I'm going to uninstall and stick to using the mobile browser for a while.

Offline reading experience is terrible - PLEASE fix this! I guess maybe this is considered a niche feature these days, but when offline, when you click any article the screen just goes blank for 10-15 seconds, and you have to wait to see if it's downloaded or not. Surely the whole point of download for offline reading is that it should happen immediately! You must have a lot of people reading on the tube in London who want this fixed!

I've used this for years but it has recently gone downhill. I use the Following feature a lot but this has stopped working when in the Latest view, which is my favourite way to browse. And the fonts used now when scrolling the Home screen have made reading slower. The sub articles, shown in paler font, are slower to read because a word or two at the start, indicating topic, are not distinguishable from the rest of the headline. It's a backward step in terms of ease/speed of use.
