App Crashes
No longer taking print edition as family member who couldn’t use the digital edition is no longer with us. I use the app primarily for local and state news. I find this iPhone app to be frustratingly unreliable. Several times each week while trying to scroll through an article it will freeze, go back to the beginning of the article, or crash and disappear entirely. This behavior repeats even after killing the app and restarting it.
I’ll continue to use other paid national news apps for national and world news. My continued use of the subscription for the digital edition of this publication may depend on whether the iPhone app improves.
Update 12/24
So today the app stated I’d reached a free article reading limit, although I’m signed in to a paid digital subscription. I can read the same article signed in to the website. So this is a bug in the iPhone app. I’m reducing my rating by one star as a result.
Turns out I wasn’t signed in. But sign in process hangs up after entering credentials, on WiFi with VPN at clinic, on cellular data, and now on home WiFi. Minus another star.
