My latest of a long line of frustrations - using the only search function it has, cannot pull up an article from a year ago, despite having the full title and date. Indeed, can’t pull up the edition for that day. Works fine for daily reading and pulling up recent articles, but no real archival capacity.

I subscribe through iTunes and yet am prompted to subscribe on nearly every article; this still occurs after restoring and checking that it says active subscriber. Trying to read the replica edition takes me through a browser where I have to go through multiple steps to log in again. Since most of the content requires going to the replica edition, this is a problem. The user experience with this app is very poor, especially considering the high price of the monthly subscription for very limited content. The content is great; the app is junk. You need to fix the app so that once authenticated the reader can read smoothly and move to the replica edition within the app.

I've been using this app for years and now you want to charge a ridiculous amount of money! Especially at a time like the covid 19 pandemic half the news you can read what a joke wouldn't waste my time with this rip off app I will be deleting this app.

I’ve been trying for a week to get my paper delivered by using this app. After seven days still no paper. So this app appears useless.
