A technical mystery - app and widget work fine but the Android return arrow at the bottom of the screen doesn't respond at all and the home (circle) needs three tries to work. No big deal but something is wrong and should be fixed. Samsung A52S Android 14 UI 6.1

Content is great, but app hangs up. App freezes when hitting the back button from one of the news articles. I am using Android 15 with One UI 7.0

The app is barely functional and keeps crashing. It's better to use a shortcut to the website.

The glitchiest app I have ever encountered. Used to work fine before the last update. Now, it crashes upon starting the app more than half the time. Most articles don't load, with an error message appearing. Crashes if you scroll down and can't even exit the app, having to force close it every time. Tried reinstalling it, nothing changed. It's just ridiculously bad.

I don't get why people give such bad ratings. This app is very functional, it shows the most important news, there are many languages available and so on. 5 stars from my side...

Deutsche Welle is an excellent new source, but the app no longer works as it should. The settings page is cut off and will not scroll, so I can not change the language unless I reinstall and select the language then. Please fix this. I would like to read the news in multiple languages again.
