Maybe consider leaving people logged in, instead of autmatically logging them out as though somebody is actually going to steal the account for their newspaper. Trying to log into this app is a chore and when I inevitably unsubscribe it will be the factor. I've been patient and updated it multiple times and it continues to cause issue. This is so far the worst app on my phone.

The app is so poor, I sought out an opportunity to review it. Every time it loads or reloads, it signs me out. I need to reup my subscription next week, but I can't bring myself to do it because it's literally painful trying to access the news digitally. I'm on the same device all the time. Just remember my login.

I am a paid subscriber and I should not have to re-log into my account every time I open up the app. This is one of the reasons I will be ending my subscription.

Can't stay logged in. Have to log in every other day. And if I want to open an article on the local tab the app stops completely.

Current update does not work correctly; when going back from article being read taken back to first page versus back to current page; with update and new "edition" app locks up when zooming in and back out; have to blackout to selection page to continue use of app (unfreeze)

Lots of bugs and freezes on Android. eEdition for Friday lacks Drive section. No Menu displays as in FAQ's.

Takes at least 2 min to load. Then blanks out between pages. Won't load at all. I was told to clear cache but I can't do that cause it doesn't load I think I will cancel my sub.

Can't increase the font when scrolling, in what world does it make sense that the titles of the articles can't be increased.
