    The app is generally very good: it's well designed, works consistently and is attractive. There are ongoing issues with FB - Journal posts there can't open the app. Otherwise a very enjoyable product.

    Used to love this app, then the updates came, the stories don't open and the app itself is constantly having to be forced closed, if I could give it no stars I would
