Whenever I attempt to log into this app to access my premium subscription using my Google Single Sign-On (SSO), I got the following return from Google: “Access blocked: This request is blocked by Google’s policies” The “dev support” email registered is a Gmail Account, which makes the developer appear to be unprofessional at best or shady at worst. I’d like to be able to leverage my premium subscription on this app. How about some proper policy compliance with Google SSO…?

This app gets worse with every update. The latest update fails to download half of the stories, displaying only the spinning “working” icon until it crashes completely. After a few rounds of this, the app crashes on startup — completely unusable. Deleting the app and reinstalling from the App store does not help. The app still crashes on startup.

Links don’t work. When you rotate your tablet it jumps six or seven pages forward. When I expand a puzzle to print it, it comes out blurry.

Random schedules for delivery, some days not at all. Reporting has continous errors for local stories. Comics are great!

What’s happening in Olympia. I used to live there and still have family in the area. I hate that I have to buy a subscription in order to read more than 3 lines of outdated news.

For over a month I’ve tried to read the e edition. I had hoped it would read like a newspaper. Am I doing something wrong? This has many, many pop ups that are incredibly distracting. It is hard to browse in order to find articles which i prefer to read. I am inundated by news emails that I can’t seem to turn off. Every time I unsubscribe I get new emails or push alerts. This has been a very unpleasant experience and I am cancelling

Not as good as holding a paper in your hands. Also has old, old stories, like reading last weeks paper. Why not try a format which copies the format of the actual newspaper? That would be original. Still attempting to read this “newspaper “. Where are the comics and advice column?What about the crossword? What about this moment in history? I am old-fashioned, I know, but I savor the old newsprint and paper. (I do appreciate the newer inks.) This app does not present things in a way which is close enough to what I enjoy. It is attempting to copy the other news apps, without having enough to offer to be them. Please try another approach if you are determined to do this online thing. You can’t compete with Apple News.
