    Great videos, terrible app. It crashes 4 out of 5 times I open it and then won't scroll 1 out of 2 times and then will crash on the video 3 out of 4 times, meaning I can only watch the video I want every 2.5 percent of the time I open the app. I recommend you save yourself much pain by going to the economist YouTube channel and seeing the same videos there
