From a content perspective, it's a really mixed bag. I subscribe primarily for football (soccer), and although some of the tactical analysis is really impressive, you also get way too much fluff about the big teams and USMNT (so many accronyms as well) to cater for their primary US market. The comments section is a human toilet, especially if this involves anything remotely US-focused The android app itself is ok, but does suffer from bugs such as notifications not tracking you to the article

App just gets worse. Stop pushing what you think I want to read. I simply want stories in chronological order, newest first, to be able to see the date of publishing, so know how new or old an article is, and to be able to see who the author is. Is that really too much to ask? Saved stories have completely disappeared. Needs fixed ASAP. Offline reading, for saved stories, no longer works. Customisation and a way to sort to the feed in way we want to still needs drastically improved.

Great app for tracking news and scores. Some useful additions or fixes to the app: It would be useful to filter the Scores tab to remove leagues I don't care about and add those that don't show. It would also be nice to have an option for filtering alcohol or gambling based advertising in the app. One bug is that article feedback is not always present on stories that are opened via notifications. Does not have the ability to show the schedule or table for the Bundesliga.
