Great improvement!

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

Need search

Ridiculous that there is no search option on every page. Add it! Also you have to logon al the time. Accept cookies every time. Web browser links don’t even offer to open the app for you like most apps. Poorly designed.

minus a thousand stars

Hate this new digital app. I want to read the e-edition like a printed newspaper, not an overview of what digital editors think I should read. I can’t download the full e-edition on my ipad. I can only download it from my office computer. What a hassle! Also the same news/articles are being regurgitated for days in a row. Why are you still calling it a NEWSpaper?

Terrible App and service

I’ve been a print subscriber for a year and have never been able to read online consistently. When I try to sign in it either says my subscription has expired (it hasn’t) or it doesn’t recognize my address. Just a terrible app in general.

Not Happy

For one thing, I hate the way I have to access news in the list down the left side. Old news is mixed with newer items. I used to be able to access a full page view, which is the way I prefer to peruse the news - that way I can see everything (including photos) instead of having to intuit which stories might interest me and pull them up. Now I can’t always access the full page view to read in my browser and when I do, it tends to be blurry and hard to scroll up and down.

Getting worse every week...

The e-edition of the paper is good when it works. It seems if at least one day, typically more, you can’t access the e-edition. I’ve done everything the staff have advised me to do, clear my cookies, reload the app, etc.,to no avail.

I’ve had to go sometimes three days or more without the e-edition. Contacted staff at the paper, almost never any type of response.

Generally pleased with app

I’m generally pleased with the app functioning. New stories are posted quickly. I wish there was a search feature for older stories, but maybe they don’t have that much capacity built into the app. I have started regularly to get a message telling me to sign in. I click sign in, then cancel, and I can read the article because I am already signed in. I would really like this bug to be fixed.

Not improved

The new App seems to default to non Newspaper style at will. Constant pop up advertisements are a nuisance but fact of life. Multiple steps required to actually get to the paper. My subscription is paid in advance but I still have to prove who I am using the same iPad.

Minus 100 stars

I used to really enjoy using this ap. Read the paper first thing in the a.m. every day. The digital paper looked just like the printed version, and I was able to email articles to friends. With every update the iPad version has gotten worse. The screen is much smaller with an inch blank on each side, now there are ads on the bottom inch. Enlarging an article causes it to disappear behind the blank areas. There is STUFF at the top of the screen making it even smaller. I download a paper, get out of ap, and can’t find the downloaded version when I go back in. Digital version is a JOKE , but I am not laughing! Very dissatisfied!

Loved the old format!

I hate this new format. I loved that I could print off the crosswords from my iPad. I’m out of town for three months in the summer and I read it every day. It’s a struggle to read it now and I’ve been thinking about cancelling it!! What in the world was wrong with the old format???
