A few feature requests regarding Front Reports, if you please:
1. When a country declares war, that's a very important update. I want to see the notification.
2. Similarly, when an enemy (or neutral) army enters my land or approaches my coast, I want to know about it.
3. When I open the app, and it shows (let's say 17) front updates, I want to go through all of them one by one. That's almost impossible to do. The list opens, and as soon as I tap on anything, the reports are no longer "new" and I can't find them again. I have to remember the time of the first update, and keep going back to the list 17 times to see the reports one at a time.

For #1, you mean a phone notification? I get the declarations of war buried in my front reports, but yea prioritizing those as actual phone notis would be great.
#2 would be a nice addition. It's also a bit frustrating that if someone enters my territory clearly intending to attack me, if I fire on them with artillery or planes I'm the one that takes the reputation hit, but that's a separate issue.
Agree with #3. Even if it's something like a line saying "notifications since your last login" that stays there, it'd be hugely handy as something I could scroll down to after checking each individual noti.
Color-coding front reports in some way might help too. A color for completed construction or production, a color for provinces taken, a color for provinces lost or units lost, a color for war declarations. Anything to help me quickly figure out what's up after I've been offline a while.

Yea this is really annoying. Definitely should be changed in the next update.

Actually I never use the front reports, there's way too much of them. For example, when you're in the late game, you're REALLY not interest in every single province conquest or unit build. Focusing this on bigger stuff (war declaration, maybe unit destroyed, plus NEW ones for stuff like enemy fighters or enemy fleets first spotted) would be much better.

I agree with the General, even in the early game I don't use them, but it would still be helpful, maybe when you select a province and you don't know about a front report that's there, then it should be an option, just like espionage.

The reports are (often) useful, because they take me to the city that needs adjustment to its production queue. Cities that don't produce anything are generally of no interest, so I don't bother looking at them. This is becoming more important as the province list view UI becomes (sadly) less useful.
If the report list also contained foreign unit sightings, war declarations, etc. it may become the best way to keep track of the game when I pop in throughout the day.

Mabye just in the sttings you can tick checkboxes like notifiy you when a city gets captured, notify you when provience captured, notify you when enemy spotted etc.
