I like the Journal as a news source, but the app is super buggy. - Can't post when I create an account using email. (Android) Keeps saying I need a name, even though I entered a name many times. - Also the "App Feedback" button makes android try to open WhatsApp?? And then fail with message "Sharing failed. please try again." - Sometimes news items are duplicated in the news feed.

Feels as if The Journal is intentionally allowing fake accounts and trolls take over it's comment sections. Deleting the app and might check again in a few months

Site ruined by the same 2-3 multi account trolls who have destroyed the comments sections with pointless chatter while the Journal staff have done zero to tackle. Time to delete the app.
