Was Great. Not Now. Developers Please – Space NASA & Astronomy News Review

I first downloaded this app probably 6ish years ago. I watched the news curation improve to a point where almost all the news was purely space related. I loved it. However, my favorite part was the community section. Everyday there was usually 6 new comments and at least 3 new posts. It was a very active, knowledgeable, and friendly community. At one point, I stopped using the app for a year. When I came back, I noticed more community posts… but most of posts were junk: people asking stupid questions, spam, and ads. Plus, the comments on the news was becoming less knowledgeable. This was so disappointing I only glanced at the app every month. Now, the last community post was a week ago and was just reposting an article. I believe the spam and down trend of the community lead most of the original and dedicated community to leave. This lead to a decline in community, insight-fullness of comments, and overall app appeal. I believe this app can still be saved. The developers need to take a very active role in the community and try to rekindle the old years of this app. All this said, it is a great culmination of space news. It is less accurate than it used to be as less people vote on the news post. However, I am grateful that the developer(s) created this app as it was an amazing hub of scientific discussion. Please, take the time to improve it. Crack down on article reposts. Set community guidelines. Ban/kick users who spam. Actively seek out users that would benefit the community (the NASA discord channel for example).
