Have been having an issue over the last week when I try to open an article, I get an error message to open the browser console or something. Since yesterday, now the app won't open at all. Android says the app has a bug. Unusable. Update: updated the app and restarted my phone and the app seems to be working again. 3* now because of ads in podcasts and the fact that they canceled The Roundtable, their best podcast. Strongly considering not renewing when my subscription runs out.

Running most recent version 13.122 on Android. I am somewhat frustrated by the huge volume of push notifications I receive, even though in the settings I have all the categories of notification set to 'off'. I do not want to block all notifications, as I do wish to receive scores and notices about the teams I follow. As an example, I get a push reminder each day about Sports Connections, even though this option is set off. Today I received a notification about Brady Tkachuk and a video.

If they would allow their app to rotate into landscape or zoom on command, it would go up 2 or 3 stars. As it is, I can't see the right half of their embedded videos because they are wider then the text and go off the screen. They make hardly any settings available. I can't track any comments I make except the hard way - scrolling back thru the story until I find mine.
