ProPublica Customer Insights

1. They avoid the disinformation and educate their readers.The Pro Publica app gives well written stories about it's activities, but I took away one star because even though I have my phone set for night mode, the app developers override my settings and show me the articles in day mode, black print on a white background.

2. Read Propublica, please! But read it in a web browser, forget this app! I tried reinstalling buy made no diff.A great, lightweight app that gets to the point, but there's one major flaw: The app doesn't give the user a way to manage what information ProPublica knows about you and how to safeguard your data privacy.

3. Three stars simply because I respect your work, anyone else would get one star for non functionality.Has a feed of news stories but does not update after having the app for 4 days.

4. Gives you the gist of its investigative findings but also includes enough details should one wish to read further into the news article.Very good simple app that gives you good reporting.

5. The app could use some form of navigation or bookmarking to continue where I was reading in an article.Great reading experience and I like that related articles are easy to find.

6. I donate a couple hundred dollars to ProPublica every year, but I'm really happy that their content is free for all to read!Easy to read and comprehend.

7. Don't get me wrong, I love the publication but the app is frustrating! For example for the 2nd time this week I got a notification, that does not take me to the article I was notified about.

8. Doesn't update articles, no section menu, no search.

9. Otherwise, I absolutely love ProPublica as a news source, and they get to the stories.

10. ProPublica excels at providing bracing new insights on stories you thought you knew.

11. It's like I downloaded static articles in the form of an app.Great reporting.
