Poor replacement for browser version

Not even close to the access provided by the browser version. Misses direct access to Home and Obituaries for example. Some needs to update this code.

Not free as described

Can’t read the articles, the app indicates free to read, but it isn’t.

Need more options for notifications

I have both the CBC and The Spec app and I almost never open The Spec app cause I don’t get any notifications about new stories.

Tired of signing in

The app is fine, although it keeps asking me to sign in every time I open the app???

Poor app

The SpecEreader is a better format with easy access to all sections

Prefer Old Access

I like this view , however I preferred having access to former papers I may have missed .

Access

As a Toronto Star newspaper and on line subscriber, I used to have access to the Spectator. While I’m logged in ok, I can’t open the news articles. Shall I just delete the app and forget about local news?
This is very disappointing to one who just paid > $800 for an annual subscription to the parent company.
