Would love to use this app more, but its broken in a few ways. The feed doesnt seem to be able to refresh on its own, instead you have to manually clear the cache and pull to refresh every time. It also has scrolling issues within each article, so that the article keeps jumping back to the top, making it almost impossible to read. Really disappointing.

Atrocious! Sad thing is I really like Variety, but this app makes it impossible to even read. Taking ages to load, page refreshing at random. It needs to be fixed badly! (Best just use the internet/desktop in the meantime)

The pages are jumpy and slow to load all b/c of ads. Also a full page ad of Schitts Creek pushed me to the top after i closed it even though i was mid article. Not worth the hassle.

App is simply a wraparound way to view website. Articles take an age to load, and keep scrolling to the top while you're reading, when a new ad loads.

Don't bother. Articles used to take a full minute to load. Now the entire feed won't refresh. I have a new Samsung.

Totally useless. Articles don't load. Skips while scrolling. And will randomly reload in the middle of an article. Bunk.
