Unusable, except for weather. Looks like they didn't invest in a usability expert. Specifically usability for someone who has color recognition issues. Somebody (probably someone who thought that since dark mode is now a thing) selected dark blue on black as the highlight color. This is unreadable to me. I'll read an article and then the subject or important bits of the story are effectively blank! Please at least allow customization of the color pallet.
