I really want to love this app. I absolutely love the UN and the work they do and was so excited to install this, but it doesn't work at all with my Samsung Galaxy S8. It just says, "news feed contains no entries" and whenever I reload displays an error message about a cache or something not being a directory. Please help! I've deleted and re-downloaded it a few times and no luck... It worked for a few minutes once, and I got notifications about 2 articles. But nothing now, + the error is back.

Dear Melody K. thank you for your message and our apology for unintentionally delayed response. The app is currently being upgraded and this, perhaps, might be the reason why some features might not work properly. We sincerely hope that with the newly upgraded/updated version the app will work correctly. Thank you for your understanding and support

It is good, to be informed and aware of the United Nations - and comes from the UN website - BUT I can't get it to scroll down in multiple window view and pressing on the text size feature in the settings menu causes the app to close and I think it will need a button spacer size setting.

The language switcher is bugged; the only languages I could get to work were English and Spanish. This creates a horrible user experience for users trying to access the app using any of the other "available" languages. Other than that, it does its job. Wish I could access the news in other languages though.
