constantly requires me to log in again...maybe after updates.

It's important for the app to support password managers. I use Google Password Manager which means I have to go into that to copy and paste my password into the app. The app logs me out frequently so this is very cumbersome.

I'm a subscriber, and the app will no longer let me open articles. Might be related to the inevitable shutdown of Metroland.

All Headlines of the articles in the Record s/b differentiated by colour coding so that a reader, who goes to the app daily, knows the article is new that day or was posted 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 7, 14 or 21 days + ago. Suggestions for the Headlines could be Black colour for 1st day the Article is posted & Red colour after the 1st day. Also, why isn't Kitchener one of the City options for Local news? Seems very strange?

The bad reviews for this app are outdated. No unexpected crashes, intuitive UI, dark mode is nice. One issue is that scrolling lags a bit, but overall a very worthwhile app. It also doesn't seem to matter if you have a subscription or not.
