Not only is it very buggy to the point of being non-functional, this app wants to charge you to read articles from free-to-read websites like The Verge and Techcrunch. Sorry Sloth, you lost my upvote. TL;DR -- Download Feedly instead.

@cameron_lewis Hi Cameron! Thanks for your feedback, could you be more specific about the bugs that you found? I tested Sloth News a lot before releasing it (with a lot of people and on different phones) and I couldn't find any bugs. It would really help me if you could indicate me what was buggy for you. I chose not to put ads on this app because I don’t like using nicely looking apps that contain ugly ads. I feel like paying 99 cents to access all the news sources of Sloth News is fine if you like the app, and it is also a way to support the developer (me). However I completely understand that you don’t want to pay to access to articles that you can find for free on the internet.

I paid for the premium news sources just to try the app and see if it's good. 99 cents is not bad but the app is buggy so far. I can't add the sources to my profile as it keeps popping up Restore Successful notification and it doesn't go away. It needs a fix.

The "cannot find purchase to restore" keeps popping up. Also when clicking on the stars icon (have no idea what it does or leads to) error comes up "the news source you've entered doesn't exist. Check your spelling, or see v1/sources for a list of valid sources". It would be better if the articles can be read in app instead of opening in safari.

@yougeekybastard Thanks for the info! This bug came with the last version of the app, and a fix has already been submitted to the app store ! (It should arrive pretty soon) When you click on the star icon after doing a research for a news source, it will add this news source to your favorite and then you will have a shortcut to get the articles from this source with one click (Just like favorites in your web browser for instance). It will also by default display the articles from your favorite news sources every time you launch the app!
