Endless bugs
This app malfunctions constantly. Sometimes you can find the daily skimm where it’s supposed to be and other times you can’t. Sometimes you can find it elsewhere sometimes you can’t. Sometimes the home page gets stuck for days on same ad. Sometimes app flat out won’t open and sometimes there’s this glitch where some letters are symbols and the whole thing is illegible. That’s just everything that is wrong with the app itself. The newsletter used to be amazing; however, has turned almost entirely into a list of affiliate links it’s all about ad revenue now and no longer provides the substance it once did.

Calendar Emojis
I love the skimm and have been a subscriber of the newsletter for a long time. I bought the subscription primarily for the calendar. I loved how it had all the upcoming relevant events coming up but I loved that it also had fun emojis to go with it.. they’ve been gone awhile with just the descriptions. It’s a small ask but hoping you see this and bring back the calendar emojis please 😊
