Request (required)
Anime and Manga news option in the app currently opens the corresponding MAL URL in the browser. The request is to incorporate this in the app natively instead.

Additional context
MAL news has an RSS feed (https://myanimelist.net/rss/news.xml) which includes an image, title and a short but incomplete description of every news item. This RSS feed can be used to natively render the news items in the app itself. The RSS feed also has a URL for the complete news article on the MAL website which the user can visit if they want to read the full story.

Examples
Example of how an RSS reader like Feeder renders the MAL RSS feed.

Not a straightforward task for sure, but is definitely possible and will make the app more featureful I feel. Users would also be able to subscribe to be notified on new news items, etc. Of course all this may be redundant if a user already uses an RSS reader app but very few do that nowadays in my experience.

Thanks for the detailed suggestion!

I think it's interesting and maybe I'll implement it soon, but not my priority.
