Update Feb 2021 : I still get notifications and can see the text and pics on pull down, but every time you click on a story or try to open the app, it stays on screen for a couple of seconds then crashes. On phone, and on Chromebook. Someone is still creating the stories, they must be really frustrated that no-one can read them !!!

What has happened to this app?? It was working perfectly before and now I can't open it. I get notifications and when I click on it, the app crashes and won't open. This was such a wonderful app I always wanted to stay on top of the news but there's always so much to read These are bite size news articles that just get to the point. Please fix the issues ASAP so I can use the app again, give it 5 stars instead of 4, and continue to recommend it

Has a really nice summary to news articles. It looks like only a few news stories are available at a time. To improve it, when bookmarking a story it should stay in your bookmarks rather having it disappear after 2 days or so. Edit: Latest update now crashes every time it's opened. And continually shows a message box on my phone "Crux has stopped" pressing report doesn't do anything. Please fix this issue.

Continued to shut down and stop, just as I would be reading something. I reported it twice, developers haven't managed to sort out the problem which is such a shame as it has been a great app. I now think that I will have to uninstall again! After giving it another try. You will certainly get frustrated as I did! So annoying. If you get it to work good luck as it is great while it worked even if it overloaded you screen daily. Good luck

Recent update made it unusable, within seconds of opening it it crashes. It seems lots of people have reported this issue so why hasn't it been fixed? The app is useless and pointless at the moment, roll back to the previous version!

Bit incessant with notifications, fast and efficient way to get news. Update 04/02/2021, well i had thought all of a sudden it has started crashing whenever I tap on a notification to open a story, not good. Oops that may have been my fault cos my phone diagnostics pointed out that it was overly power hungry an may offered to change a setting to which I agreed.
