1/5Pointless
No point to an app that separates content into two pools. As a subscriber, I can’t find a I’m trying as you would have to know if it’s subscription content or not. App also doesn’t open from the PBT emails. So you have to log in on your phone browser. Thus, really no point to the app.

1/5Better to not do an app, than to do it poorly
•Takes too long to load each and every click •It's a bit annoying to try and find the minuscule article among mostly advertising and click bait •Has good name recognition, but poor execution
