Unreliable, crashes too much

The app is unreliable for reading the news. I get notifications about interesting stories. But after clicking on them, it loads up a blank panel. Sometimes after waiting 30 seconds or more the story loads. Then typically the app crashes when loading the 2nd story. Ive tried rebooting / reinstalling the app, but it doesnt help. Other times, when opening the app fresh, it wont load stories and just gives me a blank screen with the loading bar circling around, but the story never loads. Sometimes I can move to a 2nd story which will load and return back to the 1st story and finally get it to load. The frustration of the app keeps me from coming back.
