I like reading local news as more depth in the reporting. Sports is good. Please add Judge Parker and Overboard to the comic section!

This application is terrible, some days it hangs and the e paper does not load, and the screen jumps around when trying to read something. I have removed the ap a couple of times and reloaded it only to find no change. Please fix this mess

I paid for a year long promotional digital access only account through Apple. Got a confirmation from Apple and my credit card company for payment and an active subscription. The newspaper publisher, Gannett, does not show an account for me. I’ve called their overseas call center three times over two weeks and every time the rep shows no record of an account, and each time blames Apple. Hyperlinks inside the app to report the problem don’t work. Bill M., Wilmington NC commenting on Wilmington Star News app

This is the worst, most difficult app to navigate of the 3 newspapers I read. Cumbersome, balky, illlogical. Need I say more
