Something has changed. When I open an article the screen is blank until I scroll down. Every time I scroll up it goes blank again until I scroll down. Readable but annoying! If I uninstall and reinstall it works OK the first time I use the app. Then it reverts to blank screens

The app does not support the way I read the Guardian. I mostly read articles by clicking on the links in the Headlines newsletter. A proxy page without content will open in a browser tab and it will launch the app. When I switch to another tab or app, I cannot switch back to the app. I need to reload the proxy page. When there are multiple proxy pages, reloading one of them will always take me to the beginning of the article. I did not see a way to search for text in the current article.

What everybody is saying after latest update. Pages not displaying correctly. Updates should be tested before releasing.

Balance?

I get several news sources including the Sydney Morning Herald, ABC, SBS and others. I am an old leftie but I used to believe in reporting for media to be balanced and offering both sides of a question or conflict. Now I have to subscribe to various media and often I am still no wiser after I have heard both sides. In my view, both sides and everybody quoted, especially Trump, are offering me lies and propaganda. I shall have to give up subscriptions and just hop from one news media to another and try to sort out fact from fiction
