It's gotten worse in so long, and I don't know how they are not acknowledging that the app crashes so often, and not a single news article can be opened. It's so useless to have great content but not be able to open or read it. For God's sake, please fix this.

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
