Fantastic app. Looks great, formats correctly on a wide variety of screens.

It’s just a well done theme.

not AMP compatible but okay

by audioscavenger·1 year ago·1 reply

Cannot give 5 stars when it crushes my google score… 3.5s load time on mobile vs 1s on desktop. AMP compatible themes are so few, and most are premium, and 100% for woocommerce are premium.

I like Newsphere, it gets the job done.
