I like it, but it seems you're experiencing feature creep. "Shout" reaction cards with doodles, and donating books? I can't see where that fits into anything. A good news app is streamlined, giving you exactly what you want, news, without clutter. Well done so far though, just think it needs to be more focused!

I think most news are just gratuitous verboseness, so I upvoted you.

However I still want an app that extracts only quotations and numerical information from the news and presents it on a table with a headline.

Summaries are good, to what degree is their generation automated?

I think the app is nice to use, however I think it'd need to summarize articles of my choosing to be useful to me.

I found the landing page for the mobile app to be very noisy. Scrolling was all over the place.

Nice work but again the same issue with all the permissions that are absolutely not necessary! I wish someone could explain this!
