As mentioned by others the app often crashes on my Pixel 8a. This has been happening for several months. The device is always up to date as well as the apps. Two days ago i updated android with the march 2026 update and today the app crashed once more.

I would give this app a 4 or 5 as I really enjoy getting a European perspective on the world but, the app freezes up after you click on an article. I have to shut it down every time

Good news, bad app. Frequent glitches (Pixel 8) getting a system popup that the app doesn't respond and whether to kill it, even though it still works totally fine
