Please address the following issues with the application
I'm disappointed by the yahoo app. I used to read the yahoo news in my web browser and every 30 seconds the ad for the yahoo app would pop up. I finally gave up on closing the box a hundred times and downloaded the app. What a disappointment.
Firstly, none of the true news stories are available. They are all fluff pieces. I had to open the web page to find the breaking news on the school bombing in the Middle East.
Secondly, the scroll down feature is much more ineffective than the swipe left or right. Swipe once, I get the gist of the entire article. Scroll down takes longer.
Thirdly, the pop up button that states that there are new articles posted. Seriously, I just opened the app 0.5 seconds ago and there are now three new stories?! (That are all worthless fluff!)
And lastly, yahoo, have you fired all your editors or are people too lazy to reread their work before they turn it in/post it? Is it too much to ask to have proper spelling and grammar? I am not in the journalism field, (and don't claim to be an expert in the least) however I can pick up on blatant spelling or grammatical errors. Maybe I should apply for an editor position. While I think the grammar and spelling errors are relatively easy fixes, I would ask that the content of some of the articles have stronger research. The who/what/when/where/why aspects of many of the articles seems to be missing. Or, at the very least, provide us with a follow up story on those that are still breaking news when all the facts are discovered.
Thank you for allowing feedback from your users. I will be deleting the app and using your website, instead. I enjoy keeping up on the news (you are one of four news stations I follow and they too have their faults) and like the format on your website.
Very Respectfully,
A Yahoo Reader
