Scrolling and reading the texts is awful (you know the thing you would need an app for). Selecting single words for saving them to a note doesn't work at all. In addition you can't export your saved words, so there isn't really much of a point of doing it the first place. In short you would be better of with a simple PDF, an excel or csv file for vocabulary would also go a long way.

Unfortunately, though the functions of the podcast sounded great like searching up words or saving vocabulary. I found it difficult to select and do so when using this app. It wasn't really responsive and so have decided to subscribe to Bilingual News Transcripts from my Mac instead. It would be great if this could be fixed as I often listen to you guys when on walks.

The podcast is great, the app is well-designed and the transcripts are of high quality. However, the function for selecting words on Android is completely dysfunctional which makes the word list and dictionary functions impossible to use. It would be a great app if this could be fixed.
