1. Worst design ever! While reading an article and approaching the end, the app flips to the next article so the reader never gets to read the last few paragraphs.Good curator of news content, but the interface is painfully buggy.

2. 70% of the time some bug prevents you from typing and posting a comment, including some phantom swipe gesture that skips to the next article without saving what you wrote.Before today, each story was contained in the app itself.

3. Print size doesn't appear to be changeable, and holding the phone horizontally made no difference.While reading an article it will decide to refresh the feed and kick you back to the home screen.

4. I really like the ability to have a 'conversation' with the search to refine results quickly and efficientlyLearning to use this app at first was a struggle, just so much useless stuff in one app and trying to find where to go to scan the receipt was like finding a needle in a hay stack.

5. After opening the app, news articles refresh three times before you can actually tap one, so don't get interested in a story before it has had to refresh itself a few times.It's nice to be able to earn more points.

6. The biggest problem is that if you really expect me to read all these news articles and do all this stuff on your app for points, you have to make it snappy.

7. I'm not sure what has changed, but if this is the way the app behaves now, it's useless to me and it might be time to check the store for a new news app.I tried this again, but uninstalled.

8. While using the camera to scan, the camera within the app slows down to about 1 frame per 5 mintues, making it extremely difficult to use, have a brand new S23, and the app has remained updated...Camera is locking up when attempting to scan a receipt.

9. The camera for scanning freezes and wastes my time.I've converted to Start for my home page since the integration with bing and Chatgpt-4.

10. I've attempted to zoom in on the name part of the receipt so it's very clear and it will won't recognize it (i.e. Break Time [a gas station] being the latest example).

11. Users can't even read article headlines because the programmers overlaid the polling over the headlines.
