The Hill 4+

I like the app. A lot of the issues other reviews complain about have been fixed. The reporting is good, with (roughly) an equal amount of bias in either side.
A BIG issue, though, is that it does not have breaking news notifications. This is a major downside. If it weren’t for this issue, this app would be one of my primary news sources. Honestly, it’s kind of worthless to me without breaking news updates. I strongly encourage the all developers: add notifications!!

I use reading glasses but my eyes are not bad enough to need a prescription. Most apps I can read without my readers but this app pretty much mandates that I use them. Other news apps will allow me to zoom in on the words where The Hill won’t. The font is already very small and not allowing a person to physically zoom the font in any way turns me off completely. It can’t be that difficult to permit some type of zoom to allow us to make the font bigger. I had to give this app 2 stars because it’s so inconvenient to actually use. Very unfortunate that the developers won’t make an accommodation. I’ve asked before but they seem to just not care.

The content is exactly what I’ve come to expect from the Hill, but the lack of notifications makes it hard to stay up-to-date on the information I need.

It would be my primary news source if it weren’t for this issue.
