I’d comment if I could read the article. All but the introductory paragraph is blocked by the “Let your friends…” block in portrait or landscape and trying to view in a browser either gets me a blank screen or bounces me back to the app. If I grab the url, uninstall the app and then browse to the url, I get dumped to the AMAC webpage home screen, also not helpful. Makes me think all the links I’ve shared before were unreadable, too. This happens all too often. I’d love it if you would fix these issues.
