The article windwos is loading little 'browser like' page and I have to zoom to see it. Also the app does not rotate with my screen. This app could have been developed much better !!! Sort it out please!! I would give it -1 if I could

If you cannot fix then maybe you should admit defeat and pull the app.

T70%
by T####:

Completely useless. All the pages are blank no matter what I search for or however many times I tried to troubleshoot. I was so excited when I first came across the app and it has been a complete disappointment.

Brokeware. Nice idea, but does not work. This looks like someone's great idea fell off a cliff.

Why don't you guys just have her do this? If you had a Windows Insider app for Android to hold me over until I see some nice hardware on a Windows phone it'd really come in handy. But seriously. I'm a fan so I say this with love. Put the effort you did into fixing ME, Vista and Windows 8 before you release garbage on Android because online myself most folks on Android are looking for a reason to hate you guys some more. So make us look good

U70%
by U####:

It does not rotate and it present content like I browser but without ability to resize text an fit it to screen. It is pointless to have one more dysfunctional browser on a phone

U70%
by U####:

I don't know about other content, but there is zero that shows for Azure. Try adding a feed, pick - ahem - "Windows Azure" (3 year old term), all technologies. No results. Try a few other iterations including general search on, say, StorSimple, which is my most critical area of interest... zero.

U70%
by U####:

Unable to search for any news feeds. Everything you search for returns no feeds, kind of pointless when the app is all about news feeds.

U70%
by U####:

From last few days I am not able to see any feed. Could you please review it.

N70%
by N####:

The app has been broken for over a month now; nothing shows on the "latest news" tab!

U70%
by U####:

Latest feeds page is blank. Nothing shows up after the "loading" message disappears. Can you please fix that?

O70%
by O####:

It looks very much like this is dead in the water and food for Sharks. Even after signing in every page is blank. Remove from the store please. Obviously I can't give the app one-star because it can't be used.

Q70%
by Q####:

On a 7 Edge the loading pop up never actually loads anything.

V70%

Pages are blank. What a waste of time.

U70%

This could be a great app, but it seems that it is lacking any feeds to the latest products such as Windows 10, Surface devices, or Skype. I had higher hopes and expectations. Microsoft should remove this app from the site or make three required investments to make it worthy of a Company that had such strong worldwide market share.

I have outlook.com, Skype, one drive, office, one note, and socl installed. And with each and every one of those apps I have to sign in again into my Microsoft account. It would be nice if you would just have me login once and give me an option to use another account if I wanted to instead

Please add the ability to be able to move the App to the SDcard. Thank you...
