did that. No change. No matter how many new articles there are or how many I’ve read, the badge icon counter NEVER changes from “2”.  

Did that. Initially after reinstalling, the “2” on the badge would appear briefly, then disappear whenever switching to the app. But after a couple of minutes, it’s permanently stuck at “2” again. 

Changing the dynamic type text settings on my iPhone has ZERO affect on how the app displays. The portfolio. The portfolio does not fit on the screen without scrolling left or right.
