Customer Reviews
Mike’s right. Sequence this feed so we know which is the latest.
Like the information but can be very repetitive.
Terrible narration
Like listening to AI reading a novel. No presenter skills. Nor humans? Was very interested in a world news roundup but I just can’t listen to this.
iOS 17 only :-/
Can’t access content because I have pre iOS 17 iPhone- even as a subscriber. Paying for something I can't use. Disappointed with this change.
