This new update doesn’t work. My husband and I read on different I pads. I got the update installed on his but can’t get on mine.

Even though I have an account and active subscription to this newspaper, I cannot access any story on the app. It always tells me I need to login or subscribe, even though it shows one page over that I have already done both of those things. In addition, the search feature just doesn’t seem to work. I can type in keywords for a specific article, and nothing will come up. I can put in the exact title of the article, and nothing will come up. It’s just ridiculous.

I’ve used the app since it first came out years ago, and have always loved it. The latest version that came out May 1, 2024 is terrible beyond belief. I mean, *really* terrible. Unreadable terrible. I loved my digital paper and want it back. If they can’t fix this app by May 6, I will be cancelling the subscription I’ve had for more than 30 years.

The app is worse than the website in every way. Screenshot? App no; web yes. Ad-block? App no; web yes. Swipe to go back? App no; web yes. Annoying? App yes; web yes.

I see an article I want to read, and then it disappears and I’m not able to read it. This app is having some issues and bugs that need to be fixed. How am I able to read the newspaper when I can’t even get it?

This app has a very frustrating issue. In order to open, it’s necessary to delete and reinstall every single time. Then you have to click on the topics you’re interested in reading. There is not a single click to check all the boxes so you have to click through all the boxes each time. I have contacted support and was told to delete the cache, but that didn’t resolve the issue. This has been going on for several months. Either it cannot be fixed or no one cares.

Weak newspaper getting weaker. Can’t believe I pay for subscription and, in order to watch any attached video, have to sit thru a 30 sec.commercial. Even YouTube doesn’t do that. C'mon people! Would cancel immediately but still want to see some local news. Will cancel when an alternative found.

Sometime I’ll be reading an article,I’ll try to scroll down, and all the text just disappears. The footer ad also, in case that helps you solve the problem. All I can see is the picture.

New Beta version of app is a huge improvement over the previous clumsy version - which was exasperating.
