5/5Beware paywalls inside
I downloaded and tried this app. It is strictly to get you to subscribe to their magazine. From my experience, all of the articles I tried to open were behind paywalls. So if you are not subscribed, the app is unusable.

Groundbreaking, always has been, always will be.

4/5Add a widget
Reputable news source that’s relatively unbiased. My complaint is about the apps usability. As someone who is switching over from NYT, the app can use a lot of refinement. My chief complaint is add a widget. I don’t want to go digging through this app for news everyday.
